Download Action button in Version History

[karimbuenaseda]

Hi All,

Just like to ask if its possible to disable the download action button in Alfresco 4.2 under the Version History of a certain document. I've been looking at the file "document-versions.get.html.ftl" but the download action is nowhere to be found in that file. Question is am I editing the right file? or there is an updated file within Alfresco Share to be edited in place of the "document-versions.get.html.ftl" so that I can disable the download action button.

Appreciate the Help.

I think those download actions were attached via client-side code? Did you look at the JavaScript files for document-versions?

Hi there,

Yes, but from what I can understand there is no line in the code below that points out to the Document download in version history or maybe I'm looking it the wrong way?.

document-versions.get.js

<import resource="classpath:/alfresco/templates/org/alfresco/import/alfresco-util.js">

function main()
{
   AlfrescoUtil.param('nodeRef');
   AlfrescoUtil.param('site', null);
   AlfrescoUtil.param('container', 'documentLibrary');
   var documentDetails = AlfrescoUtil.getNodeDetails(model.nodeRef, model.site);
   if (documentDetails)
   {
      var userPermissions = documentDetails.item.node.permissions.user;
      model.allowNewVersionUpload = userPermissions["Write"] || false;
      model.isWorkingCopy = (documentDetails.item && documentDetails.item.workingCopy && documentDetails.item.workingCopy.isWorkingCopy) ? true : false;
   }
   
   // Widget instantiation metadata…
   var documentVersions = {
      id : "DocumentVersions", 
      name : "Alfresco.DocumentVersions",
      options : {
         nodeRef : model.nodeRef,
         siteId : model.site,
         containerId : model.container,
         workingCopyVersion : model.workingCopyVersion,
         allowNewVersionUpload : model.allowNewVersionUpload
      }
   };
   
   model.widgets = [documentVersions];
}

main();

Hi,

This is the server-side javascript.
What you're looking for is the client-side javascript  document-versions.js

You'll see (depending on your version I guess) that in the function "getDocumentVersionMarkup" you have

html += '      <a href="' + downloadURL + '" class="download" title="' + this.msg("label.download") + '"> </a>';‍

This is it. Good luck.

Hi there, so from what I can understand?, should I just comment out this line of code right?

[scouil]

Yes and no.
Just doing it would work. but won't persist through any redeploy or upgrade.

The easy way out would be to override that file in web-extensions. Copy/paste the original file and comment that line out.
The best way would be to write a proper surf extension. It's a bit longer to get started with it but is really nice how modular it is and how cleaner your code is.

Oh I see, will test commenting out the lines first and will move onto learning extending surf as I'm a newbie when it comes to alfresco development. Thanks anyways..
