program fileNameHrefValue property

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

After struggling with the control for a few hours, I found a workaround.

First problem - the attachment links aren't generated properly for databases that are located in a subfolder of the DATA folder (the subfolder name is missing in the URL).
Workaround - to move database to the root.

Second problem - after resolving first issue, I found that any Word and Excel attachments don't open properly in IE. IE treats those attachments as html and opens in the browser with all data mixed with tags etc. PDF and jpegs were fine.
The same attachments work just fine if referenced the old way.

Here is an example of URL from Download control:
http://servername/path/db_with_xpage.nsf/xsp/.ibmmodres/domino/OpenAttachment/db_with_attachment.nsf/0FACE686E0BCD5A8C125732B002AA021/Body/John%20Doe.doc

and the old way:
http://servername/path/db_with_xpage.nsf/0/0FACE686E0BCD5A8C125732B002AA021/$FILE/John%20Doe.doc

The FileDownload control has two properties similar to the repeat control:
var and indexVar.
The first one (var) is a request scope attribute under which a row data is made available.
So basically it references the object that is repeated in the FileDownload control (FileRowData).

This FileRowData object has a property we can use - "getName()" which returns the file name.

So the fileNameHrefValue property can now be computed:

"0/" + dominoDocument1.getDocument().getUniversalID() + "/$FILE/" +rowData.getName()

where rowData is the variable name that was assigned for the FileDownload control var attribute.

<xp:fileDownload id="downloadOtherDocumentation" displayLastModified="false"
value="#{dominoDocument1.lnkOtherDocumentation}"
hideWhen="true" displayCreated="false"
allowDelete="true"
displaySize="true" displayType="false" var="rowData"
indexVar="rowIndex">
<xp:this.fileNameHrefValue><![CDATA[#{javascript:try{
return "0/" + dominoDocument1.getDocument().getUniversalID() + "/$FILE/" +rowData.getName()
}catch (e) {
}}]]>
</xp:this.fileNameHrefValue>
</xp:fileDownload>

It solves both problems, but has some limitations - doesn't allow to have two files with the same name.
Hope this helps.
