Chamilo 2.0.2 - Student submitted files can only be downloaded and cannot be viewed online

[Liknx]

Hello everyone,

I have found a possible issue in the Assignments tool of Chamilo LMS 2.0.2 regarding files submitted by students.

When a student submits an assignment by attaching a file (for example, a PDF, Word document, or image), the teacher can see that the file has been uploaded successfully. However, from the assignment review interface, the only available option is to download the file.

After inspecting the generated HTML, I noticed that the download icon is not implemented as a direct hyperlink () to the file. Instead, it appears to be a button or visual element that only triggers a download action. As a result, it is not possible to open the file directly in a new browser tab or take advantage of the inline viewing capabilities provided by modern browsers for formats such as PDFs and images.

Steps to reproduce:

Create an assignment.
Log in as a student.
Submit a file (PDF, DOCX, or image).
Log in as a teacher.
Review the submitted assignment.

Observed result:

The file can only be downloaded. There is no accessible URL or direct link that allows the teacher to open and view the file online.

Expected result:

The teacher should be able to open the file directly from the assignment review interface, especially for formats supported by browsers (PDFs, images, etc.), without having to download the file first.

Additional information:

Version: Chamilo LMS 2.0.2
Browsers tested: (please specify the browsers tested)
The behavior occurs with all file types submitted by students.

Is there any configuration available to enable inline viewing of submitted files, or is this a limitation/bug in version 2.0.2?

Thank you very much.
