In Craft 3 Pro i need to download a PDF file that a template form submits to active user profile.
The PDF submits from the front and goes to the admin area under the user account profile.
The problem is that in the user account profile i can see the PDF but cannot download it or even preview it (shows a white thumbnail image with PDF written).
The only way i find to download the pdf is going to the assets section and find it among the other file assets. I do not want this.
Is there a way of adding a download button, or click in the pdf preview to download the pdf, in the user account profile in craft 3 admin backoffice?
Well, the only i way i found to solve this was to made my custom plugin for craft 3 CP.
I build my template scafold here:
https://pluginfactory.io/
Then installed it via composer and started coding to achieve what i want.
Job done.

I am able to provide buttons for each Dashboard for specific users of Pentaho by editing
../pentaho-server/tomcat/webapps/pentaho/mantle/home/index.jsp file
for accessing Dashboard as shown Below.
on click action of button i provided Dashboard.wcdf file links and permission to accessing user.
but for these changes i have to login to Linux and update index.jsp file manually, is there anyway to automate or same changes can be done through any UI interface or any plugin available or I am doing it wrong way?
I am trying to download (backup) images that customers upload for products that take custom logos (these are typically JPG, PNG, PDF, etc.) These customer files are downloadable by clicking on a hyperlink in the BigCommerce admin page for the order in question. The link is not a link to the image path but instead, a link to a service that sends the file to the browser. In other words, you have to be authenticated into the admin site to download the file. The URL looks like this:
https://mystore.com/internalapi/v1/orders/383945/products/251438/attributes/561518/download
https://mystore.com/internalapi/v1/orders/{order id}/products/{lineItem id}/attributes/{option id}/download
These are easily constructed in the API itself for a given order. If I use the link in a browser tab while I'm logged into the admin site, the file downloads.
But what I am trying to write an app to automatically download all the files (there are thousands). When I try to use this URL in an app, I get a authentication error. I tried at first using my regular API credentials but then used the credentials to log into the admin site. Both give me an authentication error.
I could not find anything documented on this so-called "internalapi." Anyone ever try to use this "internal" API that is used by the admin site?
I believe authentication is cookie based for that internal API, but there could be problems with using our non-publicly documented internal APIs in production, i.e. we may make future updates that would be breaking changes.
Images attached to orders through a file upload option also get copied to WebDAV, in the dav/product_images/configured_products folder. Another way to do this could be to use a WebDAV client library like easywebdav to connect and download the files.
I would like to use the Chooser drop-in to select a file from dropbox and then synchronize my app with that file occasionally in the background.
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/dropins/chooser/js
A scenario would be:
List item
User selects file.
File uploads to my app.
User returns to my app a few days later after modifying the file in dropbox.
My app should synchronize and pull down that particular file (without again displaying the Chooser drop-in).
The problem is that the Chooser provides an expiring link to the file:
"direct" is an expiring link to download the contents of the file
I can use the Core API exclusively which would work, however I would have to build my own UI to browse the user's dropbox directory. Ideally, I'd prefer to not introduce the world to another file browser; Dropbox has a file browser - and people are familiar with it. Is this possible?
Thanks,
You can just get a preview link and convert it. See https://www.dropbox.com/developers/blog/53/programmatically-download-content-from-share-links.
I have posted some other smaller questions regarding the problem I describe below and got some feedback but now I will try to explain it in more depth hoping to get through the problem.
I built a desktop application using JavaFX 2.2 which uses a WebEngine to access a website built using Oracle ADF Pages. The application tracks the users actions on the pages and stores data to a database. All fine so far until the point where I need show a PDF file on a user click.
On the actual website the user clicks a button and a new popup window opens up that displays the PDF.
My problem is that due to the lack of PDF support in JavaFX I cannot display the pdf. The actual link to the PDF is dynamic and it doesn't have a .pdf at the end of it so I can't use the actual URL to send it to an external bowser or something to display it. Additionally the connection is secure so I can't open the URL with Chrome for example.
Possible solutions I thought about are to read the binary data of the response from WebView and create the PDF file locally and then open it using Adobe of Chrome or something. Is that possible at all?
Another solution I thought about (while I am writing this question) is maybe to open the URL which the users default browser but how can I go about sending the secure connection cookie from the application to the browser.
Is any of the above even possible? Am I missing something?
Any help, clues, links, ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
I think the best way to do what you want is to download the PDF and display it locally.
Downloading using WebView sounds like it could work but I'm not familiar with the user experience. As an alternative try using curl or wget. You can pass in the authorization cookie to those tools and use them to download the file
I had created an iphone application witch can generate a pdf file when the user use the application.
how can the user have the option to sent the pdf file to his own dropbox?
I had tryed with dropbox examples: where i can make an api and upload to my own dropbox.
But it's not what i want.
I want my application to do so: when the user generates a pdf file, so the login box of dropbox apear so he can log in and upload the file automaticaly to his own dropbox.
I have google it, but i did't get any examples including this solution.
Please help me if you can.
