content component question - how to setup download link?

[Chris Snow-3]

I'm just working my way through the content component and I would like
to display a link to download a PDF file.  If I setup the DataResource
and Content as follows, how can I display the content?

      <DataResource
          dataResourceId="DR1105b"
          dataResourceTypeId="OFBIZ_FILE_BIN"
          objectInfo="/applications/content/data/pdftest2.pdf"
          mimeTypeId="application/pdf"
          />
 
      <Content
          contentId="CDI1105"
          dataResourceId="DR1105b"
          contentTypeId="DOCUMENT"
          />

If the DataResource was ELECTRONIC_TEXT, I could display it in a screen
like so:

               <widgets>
                   <content content-id="CDI1105" />
               </widgets>

How can I adapt this to work for the PDF download link?

Many thanks in advance,

Chris

Hi Chris,

take a look to the ListTaskContent form, in the
/ofbiz/specialpurpose/projectmgr/widget/forms/TaskForms.xml file. I'm
sure you will find what you need in it !

I have a groovy code which reads DB and insert's a string into context, this string can contain special characters like apostrophe, ampersand; which are converted by ftl engine into &#39;  &amp;

Ex:-
Wendy's & Fitch

Converted into

Wendy&#39;s  &amp; Fitch

How can I stop this auto conversation into &#39; &amp;  ?

Kishore

In FTL, put a StringUtil.wrapString(around_your_string)

Hi Ruth,

I didn't get a chance to look at the download link last night...

However, I'm slowly getting to grips with content management.  I intend
to write a howto when I fully understand it.  Alternatively, I could
break the howto into smaller chunks as I am learning it?

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Chris:
I'm really curious because I have been writing my own Java events to do
this for sometime now. The reason I have had to use my own events is
that the existing services (and there are some that help with this)
require the user requesting the download have a partyId in the context.
(Ok, I haven't looked in the last 6 months or so, but last time I did,
there wasn't anything that supported anonymous downloads). I have cases
where I want users to download anonymously.

Also, I've never used screen widgets to display or provide download
content links like you suggest. Maybe its time I updated my
understanding of screen widgets as this may be a better way to build web
pages going forward.

Anyhow, I'd be curious to see what you discover.

Regards,
Ruth
