Relative links in html pages

markus_kuehn — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:50:05 GMT

Hello,when I access a html document in alfresco it is displayed in a new tab/window with an url like: alfresco/d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/67d865e4-6402-11dd-9b94-51e5a45d1e35/A.html‍Clicking on a relative link with 'href="B.html"' results in the url: alfresco/d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/67d

Yes, you have to use the webdav link or CIFS.

There was some discussion internally around using the /api/path Web Script instead of the download servlet when the user clicks on a file. This solves the problem (for relative links only, of course) by ensuring that any subsequent path based requests initiated by the browser resolve correctly.

I could have sworn there was a ticket in JIRA (http://issues.alfresco.com/) for this, but I couldn't find it just now. Could I ask you to raise this again then post the link back here so that we can all vote / comment on it?

Thanks!
Peter

Thanks for the input.

I found a way by using the suggested webdav-url for the documents in the web client. So now I can open html documents from within the alfresco web client and browse to other html documents of the repository by using relative links within the html documents.

For other developers interested in this:

Add to/change

BrowseBean.java:


…
   public void setupCommonBindingProperties(Node node)
   {
      // special properties to be used by the value binding components on the page
      node.addPropertyResolver("url", this.resolverUrl);
      node.addPropertyResolver("target", this.targetResolver);
      node.addPropertyResolver("webdavUrl", this.resolverWebdavUrl);
      node.addPropertyResolver("webdavWithTicketUrl", this.resolverWebdavWithTicketUrl);
      node.addPropertyResolver("cifsPath", this.resolverCifsPath);
      node.addPropertyResolver("fileType16", this.resolverFileType16);
      node.addPropertyResolver("fileType32", this.resolverFileType32);
      node.addPropertyResolver("size", this.resolverSize);
      node.addPropertyResolver("lang", this.resolverLang);
   }
…
   public NodePropertyResolver resolverWebdavWithTicketUrl = new NodePropertyResolver() {
         public Object get(Node node) {
            HttpSession session = (HttpSession)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSession(false);
            User user = (User)session.getAttribute(AuthenticationHelper.AUTHENTICATION_USER);
            return Utils.generateURL(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), node, URLMode.WEBDAV) + "?ticket=" + user.getTicket();
         }
   };
