How to Get the NodeRef of the Opened Document in Alfresco Share

Question

I am planning to generate direct download link from the client side when user open a document in document details window. In order to do that I want to access noderef of the opened document. Can someone mention how to access noderef of the opened document from alfresco share client side (javascript).

Good for you that I've done that in the past for a customer.

You'll need to change the following files (create a module or just override them)

• document-links.get.properties (add a new label for download)
• document-links.get.head.ftl (include your new overridded client side JavaScript)

• document-links.get.html.ftl (add a new field like the current page url)

      <h3 class="thin dark">${msg("page.download")}</h3>
      <div class="link-info">
         <input id="${el}-download" value="${document.node.contentURL}"/>
         <a href="#" name=".onCopyLinkClick" class="${el} hidden">${msg("page.copy")}</a>
      </div>
  

• document-links.js (client side JavaScript)

onReady: function DocumentLinks_onReady() { // Display copy links if (this.hasClipboard) { Dom.removeClass(Selector.query("a.hidden", this.id), "hidden"); }

 // Make sure text fields auto select the text on focus
 Event.addListener(Selector.query("input", this.id), "focus", this._handleFocus);

 // Prefix some of the urls with values from the client
 Dom.get(this.id + "-page").value = document.location.href;

 // added Download link
 var contentURL = Dom.get(this.id + "-download").value;
 Dom.get(this.id + "-download").value = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host + "/alfresco/d/a" +

contentURL.replace('api/node/content/', ''); }
