There are many similar questions to this but none quite answers my problem. I have users who wish to be able to access certain pdf files via a password. I have set up a page, accessed via a password, and the page contains links to each pdf. I have added an .htaccess file into the folder with the code 'deny from all' which successfully defeats any attempt to type in the url directly. (Unfortunately the pdfs are of a nautical magazine called 'The Log', in a folder called 'log' with endless scope for confusion over logging in. Sigh.) At present, when users click on a link for one of the pdfs, a direct link wouldn't work because of the protecting .htaccess file. So they are taken to a controller method as below:
function loadlog($year='',$filename='')
{
$realpath = 'public/pdf/log/'.$year.'/'.$filename;
$tofile= realpath('public/pdf/log/'.$year.'/'.$filename);
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
readfile($tofile);
}
This works fine except that the pdf opens in the same window. I would prefer not to do that as clicking the browser back button calls for more clicks to resend the page request. How can I get it to open in a new window ie the same effect as if I had been able to use a direct link with target=_blank?
Or have I tackled the entire problem the wrong way?

I am working on an automate flow that emails a share point page to a list of subscribers whenever the page is updated.
Everything works except the links contained in the email (/page). On share point i am able to navigate to the link however in the email the page redirects me to /sites/xxx/xxx.aspx. It is missing the tenant information.
Is there a setting i missed or something that is preventing sharepoint from including the full link when sending the email?
I made sure the full link was typed when the hyperlink was created and am using an HTTP to share point (in automate) and inserting the "CanvasContent1" into the email. I checked the html being sent and the link title is given as the full link but the href is given as /sites/xxx/xxx.aspx.
Thank you for everything
On a SharePoint page, links will be converted to relative links when the page is saved.
If you copy the page content as rendered into an email, then, yes, the tenant will not be included in the link, since the link is never intended to be used outside of the context of the page, where the link works fine.
So, you need to change your approach when emailing the page. Maybe email just a link to the page, then people can take it from there. Or, manipulate the html content in PowerAutomate and replace /sites/xxx with https://Yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites.xxx
I need your help
I am programming a URL browsing site when you long press on the button named site01 it will enable you to type a URL, and I need your help in how to script a button that saves the user's websites browsing history and is there a way to know that the website URL which the user has entered is active and correct, I am still a beginner
Check out browserNavigateComplete in the Dictionary. This may enable you to manually record the navigation changes inside the browser object. (i.e. add the URL to a list of sites, or an array for example.)
Also check out the lessons on LiveCode's site, such as: http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/22836-how-do-i-use-the-browser-control
I would like to write an extension that connects to all Chrome tabs that are html (critically, leaving out any tabs hosting non-html content such as chrome://extensions/ and other non-user tabs, as that would surely cause lots of internal errors if those special tabs aren't entirely excluded from handling by my business logic code). No need for a Chrome extension button.
I would then like to execute some code on any of those user html tabs:
When the user has clicked a hyperlink or button.
When navigation to a new url is about to begin (and get the target url)
After a new page has completed loading in any of the tabs (and get the url)
I am not sure which approach is currently best to use, for each of those above, and also am initially unable to get to the url. Currently, I'm trying a background tab (should I, really?). The trouble is I am unable to get to the url through the tab object with that approach ―
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tabId, changeInfo, tab) {
console.dir(tab);
});
It appears the tab object does not directly point at a url.
Regardless this pointwise issue, I wonder what might be the most robust approach for accomplishing the overall scenario described: getting notified of those events for all html user tabs, and getting the url in every case. In the official docs, a relevant sample is very much elusive to find.
The context here is that, in a CMS type of app, the users that create content like to reproduce Notes' way of having attachments anywhere in the text, not just a list of attachments at the bottom of the page. When creating a page, they want to be able to create links to the attachments right away, using a link and an img tag, not saving the document first and then edit it again.
I have found the YouAtNotes HTML5 Multi File Upload control, which enables the users to upload the attachments before the document is actually saved. The URL for attachment uploaded befor ethe doc is saved is then:
http://myserver/myDB.nsf/xsp/.ibmmodres/persistence/DominoDoc-NEW_569-Body/indifference.jpg
I use this URL in the CKEditor to create an image and it looks OK: the image shows up in the editor and has this URL:
/myDB.nsf/xsp/.ibmmodres/persistence/DominoDoc-NEW_569-Body/insanity.jpg
I then save the document, and it still looks good. The image is showing up and the URL is still:
http://myserver/mydb.nsf/xsp/.ibmmodres/persistence/DominoDoc-NEW_569-Body/indifference.jpg
I close my browser, and open up the page again, and now I see that my image is not showing up, but the URL is still:
/Belair/xBiblio.nsf/xsp/.ibmmodres/persistence/DominoDoc-NEW_569-Body/indifference.jpg
But if I look at the URL that is used by the download control, this is what is has:
http://myserver/mydb.nsf/xsp/.ibmmodres/domino/OpenAttachment/belair/xbiblio.nsf/E4E384094564EE9E85257F33005953AE/Body/indifference.jpg
Why did it change?
Is there documentation on how that whole attachmentprocess works, so I can understand it and give proper indications to the users so they can create valid links.
We also have a particularity in our publishing code: we need to keep the UNID of the published document so links that were made using UNIDs are still working. It is an app with a lot of content and many external apps link to it. So when we publish, we actually copy all the content of the draft into the already published document, so the UNID is different from the draft document, and we have issues with attachment links because of that. But that is something else...
The URL "/Belair/xBiblio.nsf/xsp/.ibmmodres/persistence/DominoDoc-NEW_569-Body/indifference.jpg" relates to a temporary location before the docment has been saved. This is standard functionality because
For SSJS / Java to save an file into an NSF, it's got to have been uploaded to the server prior to the commit.
The user has not chosen to save the file yet, so it shouldn't be added to the NSF.
The document hasn't been saved yet, so even if it should be saved to the NSF, no document yet exists to save it to.
The components of the URL are:
"/Belair/xBiblio.nsf", the URL of the database it will finally need to be committed to.
"xsp/.ibmmodres/persistence", a URL that corresponds to a physical folder location where temporary files for this NSF are stored, based on xsp.properties of the NSF; if nothing is defined in xsp.properties of the NSF, xsp.properties of the server is used; if nothing is defined there, a default location is used.
"DominoDoc-NEW_569", a temporary reference to the new, unsaved dominoDocument datasource. If you close the browser and re-open it, you'll be getting a different temporary dominoDocument datasource reference, so I wouldn't expect the image to show up. Otherwise, different users could get one another's attachments.
"-Body", the field the file needs saving into.
"/indifference.jpg" the file name.
Once the document is saved, the file is stored into the Body field of the relevant document, and the file system cleaned up. The URL has to change, because otherwise the attachment would not be available on other replicas, because only the database gets replicated, and it could not be managed by DAOS.
The new URL "http://myserver/mydb.nsf/xsp/.ibmmodres/domino/OpenAttachment/belair/xbiblio.nsf/E4E384094564EE9E85257F33005953AE/Body/indifference.jpg" corresponds to:
"myserver/mydb.nsf/xsp/.ibmmodres/domino/OpenAttachment", shorthand URL to open the relevant attachment.
"/belair/xbiblio.nsf/E4E384094564EE9E85257F33005953AE", the location of the document the attachment is stored in.
"/Body", the field name.
"/indifference.jpg", the attachment name (the field could have multiple attachments, of course).
The information above is based on what has been documented in XPages Portable Command Guide (for xsp.properties settings for changing the default temporary locations) and Mastering XPages 2nd Edition.
I'm not sure what the YouAtNotes uploader does, so I can't say whether it should be changing the URL or not on save. But in more recent versions of Domino, attachments can be uploaded without a full refresh, which may be of use as an alternative.
When you're copying documents, if you're storing HTML that references images by their URLs, including UNIDs, you'll need to modify those references.
If you want to keep UNIDs, remember that they are read-write - you can set them as well as get them. However, bear in mind that you'll have problems if you change the URL to the same URL of an existing document. Bear in mind this is also XPages, so the data accessed via the XPages applications don't have to be in the same database.
When you click on the link for an attachment in the File Download control in XPiNC, you are promoted to save the attachment. Is it possible to configure the File Download control to open the attachment directly instead of prompting the user to save it? We're using 8.5.2 FP3.
Handling of an "attachment" is primarily done by the Browser (XPiNC being a firefox browser inside Notes). If for example, a PDF plugin is installed in the browser and the servers sends the corresponding "application/pdf" mime-type with the file, the browser uses that plugin to display the file. The correlation between mime-type and plugin or external application in the browser is something the server/webapplication can not influence.
What you can do on the server side is sending the mime-type "application/octet-stream" instead of the one corresonding to the file type, causing the browser to display the "Select application or download" dialog. So in Xpages, you would have to redirect the download through a XPage, where you set the corresponding HTTP Headers as shown in Set cache headers on an XPage and How to force PDF files to open in browser?
I haven't used the file download control or XPINC, but it is definitely possible to make your xpage or view control open an attachment directly. This method bypasses the download control.
Please see this post from Stephan Wissel: http://www.wissel.net/blog/d6plinks/SHWL-86QKNM, which gives you some SSJS that you can use to build the URL. You can use it in the onClick method of a button. You are essentially duplicating the functionality of the download control in a way that does what you want it to do.
If you want to do the same thing from a view control, then see this post: http://notesspeak.blogspot.com/2013/02/how-to-launch-attachment-from-view.html
Note that different browsers behave slightly differently but it works in all the majors.
Michael,
Here is code I used:
var unid = rowValue.getUniversalID()
var url = getAttachmentURL(unid, "storetransfer.pdf", "Testing//test.nsf")
url = "/" + url + ";"
view.postScript("window.open('" + url + "', '_blank', 'height=120,width=650,top=10,left=10,resizable=yes');");
I did modify Stephan's code a bit since my data is in a different NSF than my code. You probably know this but the view.postScript allows you to call clientside javascript from SSJS. It always is the last thing to run, hence the name. This is the same code from the Notesin9 video mentioned in the comments. I just tested this and it works like I think you want, but in firefox it does try to block the popup, and then has to push "open". Hope this helps.
