Get MimeTypes using PHP

[devmehta555]

Hi Everybody,

I am trying to integrate alfresco to my php application through API.
Can anyone help me that how can I get all mimetypes available in alfresco dynamically?

Thanks in Advance,

Hello Devang,

If you are working on Alfresco 3.4 or greater you may find all the mimetypes at
http://<servername>:<port>/alfresco/service/mimetypes

This will list all the currently registered mimetypes, and provide a details link for each one. Make a call to this Webscript through your API and that should work fine.


Thanks,

[devmehta555]

yes , It works!!!
Thanks.

It's working for 3.4 or higher versions.
What if instance is of version 3.2 or 3.3?

You may be able to "backport" some of the code.   However its probably easier to upgrade.

Thanks,

in 3.4 or higher version I can easily get list of all register mimetypes.
Detail : http://<servername>:<port>/alfresco/service/mimetypes.  Thanks to sujaypillai.
And what if I want to get mimetype description to display in detail view.
Foe eg. for image/jpeg, we are displaying JPEG Image OR application/pdf, we are displaying Adobe PDF Document

So is there any dynamic way to get this description?

[sujaypillai]

Don't think so there is a dynamic way. Even in share-forms they use static reference [e.g. tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\site-webscripts\org\alfresco\components\form\controls\mimetype.ftl].

I am trying my hands on it… Will update you soon.


Thanks,
