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

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,

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'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
