[Typo3] VCD_archive - how to force download

[Martin Rud]

Hi...

For the second time today I found the solution... ;o)

In class.tx_vcdarchive_pi1_fileOutput.php line 93:
   header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=".basename($file));

chanhe it to:
   header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($file));

It works, at least, for pdf-files.

:o)
