retrieving an image from the repository using webscripts

[emichbe]

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve a picture from the repository using webscripts :

var image = search.findNode("workspace://SpacesStore/89636147-5c76-11dc-b969-3bdfab08a4b3");
model.imgContent = image.content;‍‍

Somehow, the content stored in model.imgContent is corrupt. The size is different than the original file.

How can I retrieve content in a correct way ?!

What are you trying to do with your image content? If you just want to write it back on the request, there's already a web script for doing that

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/HTTP_API_Reference#Content_Retrieval

or the download servlet

The javascript/template api's only allow access to the content as a string.

The thing I would like to do is to generate a document, like with WordML, that contains the different images I would like to see in my document (checked with checkboxes in a custom view) using the javascript/template api.

Do you require the content to be embedded in your doc, or can you refer to the content via url?

The freemarker api provides a content download url e.g.

document.url;

Should be embedded. I will try that and let you know.
