Uploading and viewing documents of party

[Sameer Apte]

Hi all,

I am trying to see if there is any functionality provided out of box that
would allow e-commerce customers to upload their documents and later on
view or delete the same.
Of course customers should be able to see the documents belonging to only
themselves.

On party profile page through party manager I could see that documents
could be uploaded. However when clicked on view it is not exactly rendering
the document itself. Rather it shows metadata of the document.

Any pointers, tips, suggestion ?

Regards,
Sameer Apte

Hello Sameer,

Can you tell more about OFBiz release you are using? I have tested the
workflow on the trunk and it is working fine.

IMO, you may have selected the wrong mime type. Please let me know which
mime type and purpose you are selecting.

Thanks and Regards

Thanks Pritam for having a look.

I am looking at 17.12 as of now. After reading you email I also checked
party profile page in party manager quickly on trunk demo. But It is still
not exactly what I was hoping for.

Essentially on party profile page there is party content widget which shows
view and remove links next to each of the party contents.
But if you click on view, it does not render the file uploaded in the
browser. Instead it takes us to a screen where same widget is shown just
that it occupies entire screen.
https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/partymgr/control/EditPartyContents?contentId=10003&partyId=admin

What I was hoping for was some place wherein user can click on view and see
the file that was uploaded getting rendered in the browser e.g. image or
pdf. Pdf is preferable.

Also the security related permissions which user should carry to make sure
that he / she can view the contents uploaded by her and not someone else's.

Sameer Apte

Hello Sameer,

Please follow the steps:
1. Go to the party profile screen on ecommerce site. [1]
    (User/Pass are DemoCustomer/ofbiz)
2. Scroll down to find "File Manager" section.
3. Click on "Upload New File" button. (Currently, there is a UI bug. It is
not showing the button properly. Also after selecting the file from your
computer, it will not show the selected file name. It will still show no
files. :) We can report this issue separately. )
4. Select the file from the File Manager pop-up which you want to upload. I
have tested the flow with PDF file.
5. Select purpose as "User Defined Content" and mime-type as "Adobe
Portable Document Format (PDF)".
6. Click on upload. It will upload a file to the server and reload the
party profile screen.
7. Now you should able to see the uploaded content and view/remove buttons
in front of it. Click on view button, it will show the PDF which you have
uploaded in previous steps.

[1]: https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/ecommerce/control/viewprofile

Note: I have tested this workflow on Google Chrome. Let me know if you are
using any another browser.

Thanks and Regards

Thanks Pritam.
Yes it seems like on trunk it works and on 17.12 it does not.
But should be fine as I can move to latest version.
