To custom the applications, I have defined a new format with ckan 'csv + carte'.
Actually, it's a CSV file with a view map and a DataExplorer view. So , i want to open this format with the view DataExplorer too, but i have the problem with the dataproxy: Could not load view: DataProxy returned an error (Data transformation failed. Exception: Resource type not supported 'csv + carte')
So i don't know exactly how to tell the dataproxy to consider it as a csv format so it can be open with the DataExplorer.
What i've done is to modify the code under ckan-docker_src\ckan\ckan\public\scripts\application.js; especially this part like that:
else if (resourceData.formatNormalized in {'csv': '', 'xls': '', 'tsv':'', 'csv + carte':''}) {
// set format as this is used by Recline in setting format for DataProxy
console.log("CSV");
**// Treat 'csv + carte' format like csv
if(resourceData.formatNormalized === 'csv + carte')
resourceData.format='csv'
else
resourceData.format = resourceData.formatNormalized;**
resourceData.backend = 'dataproxy';
var dataset = new recline.Model.Dataset(resourceData);
var errorMsg = CKAN.Strings.errorLoadingPreview + ': ' +CKAN.Strings.errorDataProxy;
dataset.fetch()
.done(function(dataset){
dataset.bind('query:fail', function(error) {
$('#ckanext-datapreview .data-view-container').hide();
$('#ckanext-datapreview .header').hide();
$('.preview-header .btn').hide();
});
initializeDataExplorer(dataset);
$('.recline-query-editor .text-query').hide();
})
.fail(function(error){
if (error.message) errorMsg += ' (' + error.message + ')';
showError(errorMsg);
});
}
But, it doesn't work. Where do i have to modify to take into account this new format? Thank you for your help

(eXist 4.4, XQuery 3.1)
I offer the user the ability to download PDF documents which are dynamically created at the moment of request. The request has two parameters: the document name (ie doc=MS609-0002.pdf) and the document language version (ie lang=EN).
The function that outputs is in download.xql:
declare function download:download($node as node(), $model as map(*), $doc as xs:string, $lang as xs:string)
{
...
return response:stream-binary($pdf,"application/pdf", $filename)
}
It outputs a PDF fine in both a direct call in an IDE and if I call the function through an eXist HTML template, for example:
http://localhost:8081/exist/apps/deheresi/download?doc=MS609-0002.pdf&lang=EN
However, using HTML means opening another browser window.
Instead I'd like to request a REST GET from a button. I've looked at the eXist REST documentation and I can't get it to work.
According to the documentation, I should issue a GET structured as follows :
http://localhost:8081/exist/rest/db/deheresi/download.xql?doc=MS609-0002.pdf&lang=EN
But when make that request, I get :
HTTP ERROR 404
Problem accessing /exist/rest/db/deheresi/download.xql.
Reason: Document /db/deheresi/download.xql not found
This variation with /exist/rest/apps/: http://localhost:8081/exist/rest/apps/deheresi/download.xql?doc=MS609-0002.pdf&lang=EN
Returns the following message with a blank tree:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
And this variation with /exist/db/apps/: http://localhost:8081/exist/db/apps/deheresi/download.xql?doc=MS609-0002.pdf&lang=EN
Returns:
XQueryServlet Error
Error found
Message: Cannot read source file

I've tested file permissions and there seems to be no problem. Although there may be a REST permission/configuration requirement that I am not aware of? Are there issues with REST on localhost?
EDIT: this is the full function that should process the REST request:
xquery version "3.1";
module namespace get="/db/apps/deheresi/modules/download”;
declare namespace templates="http://exist-db.org/xquery/templates";
declare namespace tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0";

declare function download:download($doc as xs:string?, $lang as xs:string?)
{ (: parse $doc to get name of XML to transform, send back pdf with same name :)
let $docset := upper-case(substring-before($doc,"."))
let $filename := concat($docset,".pdf")
let $document := doc(concat($globalvar:URIdata,concat($docset,".xml")))
let $language := if (lower-case($lang) = "fr")
then lower-case($lang)
else "en"
let $filename := concat($docset,".pdf")
(: get XSLT stylesheet :)
let $fostylesheet := document-print:single-doc-fo-stylesheet($language)
(: get XEP FO config:)
let $config := util:expand(doc("/db/apps/deheresi/xep.xml")/*)
(: get xml for transformation in correct language :)
let $xml := document-preprint:single-doc-preprint($document, $language)
(: create FO xml :)
let $fo := util:expand(transform:transform($xml, $fostylesheet, ()))
(: render pdf :)
let $pdf := xslfo:render($fo, "application/pdf", (), $config)
return response:stream-binary($pdf,"application/pdf", $filename)
};
NB: I've put a bounty on this in hopes of receiving an response which walks through the REST input and output function with an example of getting a PDF that is spontaneously generated. This includes any configuration / permission issues that could affect a REST request.
Since you state the PDF is returned when you call this:
http://localhost:8081/exist/apps/deheresi/download?doc=MS609-0002.pdf&lang=EN
Perhaps, what you should be doing is handling that response. A simple example would be this in jQuery using FileSaver.js. (You can google FileSaver.js and download and include that in your pages with jQuery):
function preview_cover(path){
var pdffilename="cover.pdf";
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function(){
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200){
saveAs(this.response, pdffilename);
}}
xhr.open('GET', 'cover-formatter.xq?cover=' + path + '&page_width=' + page_width + '&page_height=' + page_height);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization','Basic ' + sessinfo);
xhr.responseType = 'blob';
xhr.send();
}
The above example will download the PDF using modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
The code behind is this (I snipped all the other stuff away, just leaving the formatting part):
let $fo := if ($territory = 'WALES') then util:expand(transform:transform($doc, doc("/db/EIDO/data/edit/xsl/EIDOcoverbilingual.xsl"), $parameters))
else util:expand(transform:transform($doc, doc("/db/EIDO/data/edit/xsl/EIDOcover.xsl"), $parameters))
let $pdf := xslfo:render($fo, "application/pdf", (), $config)
let $headers := response:set-header("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=document.pdf")
return
response:stream-binary($pdf, "media-type:application/pdf","document.pdf")
Below is a more lengthy jQuery Javascript code that attempts to handle the response at the Javascript side. There are a few tricks to note that I will mention first so as to understand. One hack is that iOS or IE9 browsers cannot handle binary downloads in the browser. So the server-side code actually has a hack to create the PDF and if the browser is iE9 or iOS, it stores the result in the DB (or AWS S3) and returns a link to that PDF so that it can be "clicked" to view. Other common browsers can automatically handle the binary data sent back if done correctly. For this we use FileSaver.js plugin Javascript that will download the PDF.
Other parts you can ignore frankly. Like logEvent which send an Event to Google Analytics, totformats variable tracks users downloads and limits them in any one session. The hack for Chrome downloads is likely not required as that was a bug in Chrome for Android. adding and loading 'loader' classes are for the GUI. The iE9, iOS solution using IP as a variable that is set, this is because the database is replicated and load balanced in many countries and because the data is written to the DB for this one call, we need the IP address of that exact server that has the result in it. This will go away with S3 integration.
Essentially the key is that is calls the same URL you would and saves the response using:
saveAs(this.response, pdffilename);
This is a call into FileSaver.js which handles saving the binary data from an XHR GET and downloading it for you. I have snipped this out from a much larger code which handles all of the downloads including dynamically generated ones from RenderX as yours is, but also static PDFs.
The call is straightforward, just a GET to customer-formatter.xq which is the same in my case as calling http://localhost/customer-formatter.xq (because I strip out /exist and my post for Jetty is 80):
xhr.open('GET', 'customer-formatter.xq?masterlang=' + masterlang + '&doclang=' + doclang + '&specialty='+ specialty + '&article=' + docnum + '&user_name=' + loggedInUser + '&territory=' + territory + '&expiry=' + expiry + '&page_width=' + page_width + '&page_height=' + page_height + '&column_count=' + column_count + '&phrasechange=' + phrasechange + '&genlink=' + genlink + '&access=' + access + '&scalefont=' + scalefont + '&skin=' + skin + '&watermark=' + watermarkmsg +'×tamp=' + timestamp);
totformats++;
if (totformats > maxformats)
window.location.href = '/user?logout=logout';
var docfilename = ((doclang) ? doclang : '') + ((doctype) ? doctype : '');
var pdffilename = docnum + '-' + docfilename + '.pdf';
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function(){
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200){
// Do IE9 stuff or iPhone/iPad
if (version == 9) {
var ip = this.responseText;
var a = document.createElement("a");
a.style = "cursor: pointer;";
document.body.appendChild(a);
var url = 'http://' + ip + '/IE9/' + loggedInUser + '-' + docnum + '-English.pdf';
a.href = url;
$(a).attr('target','_blank');
a.click();
$(a).remove();
$(doc).removeClass('loader');
$(doc).prop('disabled',false);
}
else if (isiOS) {
var ip = this.responseText.trim();
ioswindow.location.href = 'http://' + ip + '/IE9/' + loggedInUser + '-' + docnum + '-English.pdf';
$(doc).removeClass('loader');
$(doc).prop('disabled',false);
}
// Hack to partially fix Chrome error, file is now in Chrome downloads
else if (Math.max(document.documentElement.clientWidth, window.innerWidth || 0) <= 1024 && window.chrome) {
var blob = new Blob([this.response], {type: 'application/pdf'});
var a = document.createElement("a");
a.style = "display: none";
document.body.appendChild(a);
var url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
a.href = url;
a.download = pdffilename;
a.click();
window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);

}
else {
saveAs(this.response, pdffilename);

Your download:download function is written in such a way that it works with eXist-db templating. I would suggest abstracting the actual download logic into a separate function in a separate library module.
You can then have your download:download function call your abstracted download logic function, and you can also create a new main module like direct-download.xq or whatever which just processes the URL and then calls your abstracted download logic function.
I try to find solution to my problems but didn't find any where,hope that someone here can save me.
I write add-in in JavaScript on VS2015 that encrypte and decrypte body messages.
1. The first problem is with images that the receiver can't see .
(Talk about images that copy into the body by "insert picture inline" button)
In Compose mode we encrypte the message and then when we decrypte it's works good because the compose mode is a client side and he his recognize the local images .
In read mode when user want to decrypte the message and to see the images he couldn't see because the encrypte prevent outlook to convert the local image to data on the server .
In my code I take the body message like this ( compose mode )
item.body.getAsync(
item.body.getAsync(
"html",
{ asyncContext: "This is passed to the callback" },
function callback(resultbody) {
......Here we send the body for ENCRYPT.
}))
then , the user send the encrypte message by clicking 'send' regular.
In the read mode I just print it to my html to check if the decrypte is good :
(JSON.parse(xhr.responseText).Data.Content));
and then i get icon of picture ,but not success to show the real pic .
The src of the icon is going for place that not access for him ..
<img src="https://attachment.outlook.office.net/owa/*****/service.svc/s/GetFileAttachment?id=AAMkADUwMDE0YWM1LTYwODctNG ......
How can i take this tag of image and do something that the receiver can see the image ? I don't want that user will be need to upload image to body from my my add-in instead of the original outlook. I try to convert the image to base-64 string, but with what I have in the tag it not enough ,just with original picture and also it success to show in html but not in the body of message with SetAsync function..
2. The second problem is with attachments .
I upload files with dropzone plug-in (because outlook don't give access to take attachment and change him). So, after I upload files and encrypte him I make some new file with the response from server with File API of JS :
ar f = new File([""], "filename.txt", {type: "text/plain", lastModified: date}) . .. .
than I want to attach the file to mail, so the only method that do this is:
addFileAttachmentAsync(uri, attachmentName, optionsopt, callback opt)
then,I need to create a url for file for this method so I use this method:
var objectURL = URL.createObjectURL(f);
But now when I use the method addFileAttachmentAsync with objectURL it's write that there is a problem and its can't attach it , I think that the URL is incorrect .
Thanks all!!
For everyone who look any solution to this problems..
**In outlook web this solutions works good but in Outlook Desktop there is a problem of synchronize with server so there is a delay with saveAsync function without any solution to this right now , so it's work but need to wait a little bit.You could read more about it here.
First Question:
There is a problem in outlook add-in with when using getAsync and then setAsync functions . The problem occurs when there is some image inside the body . It's happen because when you take the body in Html format and then return the body with some different the image still not 'upload' and the src is being wrong .
I success to workaround this problem using Outlook rest API.
So the workaround is going like this:
Get the body message in type of Html by getAsync method. create div
element and set the return body message inside the div.
To get message id, you need to save your message as a draft with saveAsync function.
To make request to Outlook rest
API you need to get access token , so call to getCallbackTokenAsync function and save the access
token.
Make Http Request to outlook rest API to get all attachment exist in
the message.
Find the right ID of your image and replace the image src to the
base-64 of the image that you get from your request to outlook rest
API.
Finally , you could set your new body with SetAsync function .
Code:
item.body.getAsync(
Office.CoercionType.Html,
{ asyncContext: "This is passed to the callback" },
function callback(resultbody) {
var bodyDiv = document.createElement('div');
bodyDiv.innerHTML = content;
Office.context.mailbox.item.saveAsync(
function callback(result) {
var myNewItemSaved = result.value;
Office.context.mailbox.getCallbackTokenAsync({ isRest: true },
function (result) {
if (result.status === "succeeded") {
var accessToken = result.value;
var itemId = "";
if (Office.context.mailbox.diagnostics.hostName === 'OutlookIOS')
itemId = Office.context.mailbox.item.itemId;
else
itemId = Office.context.mailbox.convertToRestId(myNewItemSaved,
Office.MailboxEnums.RestVersion.v2_0);
var xhr3 = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr3.open("GET", "https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/messages/" + itemId + "/attachments", true);
xhr3.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
xhr3.setRequestHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
xhr3.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + accessToken);
xhr3.send();
xhr3.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xhr3.readyState == 4) {
if (xhr3.status == 200) {
var allImages = JSON.parse(xhr3.response).value;
var isDesktop = false;
var imgSrcId = bodyDiv.getElementsByTagName('img')[0].getAttribute("src");
if (imgSrcId.indexOf("cid") != -1) //Outlook Desktop
isDesktop = true;
for (var i = 0; i < allImages.length; i++) {
if (bodyDiv.getElementsByTagName('img')[i].getAttribute("src").indexOf("base64")!=-1)
continue;
if (isDesktop)
imgSrcId = bodyDiv.getElementsByTagName('img')[i].getAttribute("src");
else
imgSrcId = bodyDiv.getElementsByTagName('img'[i].getAttribute("originalsrc");
imgSrcId = imgSrcId.substr(4, imgSrcId.length);
var wantedImg;
for (var j = 0; j < allImages.length; j++) {
if ((allImages[j].ContentId).localeCompare(imgSrcId) != -1) {
wantedImg = allImages[j]; break;}
}
bodyDiv.getElementsByTagName('img')[i].src = 'data:' + wantedImg.ContentType + ';base64,' + wantedImg.ContentBytes;
}
}
setAsync......
}
}}}})})};
Second question
The problem with addFileAttachmentAsync that this is work only with files that is on external server, and it's not add a blob , local files.
So also here the solution is with Outlook rest API . The solution will attach our file to the message but we can't see this-no preview of the attachment in message , but when we send it this will attach to message , and we could see in our message that the attachment is there.
The solution is really similar to the one of the image in body - Save the message as a draft , get access token and this time the Http Request will be 'POST' request to our message id to attach our file to the current message.
Code to the request to add attachment to message ( all the way until here is the same like question 1):
var attachment ={
"#odata.type": "#Microsoft.OutlookServices.FileAttachment",
"Name": "smile.png",
"ContentBytes": "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"
}
var xhr4 = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr4.open("POST", "https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/messages/" + itemId + "/attachments", true);

xhr4.setRequestHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");

I'm trying to write this simple UI which should show a message with two parameters (name, email2send). But, when I run it, I get only this:
The content of the variable msg is not shown in the pannel, only the pannel title. What is the right way to do this?
// Show confirmation
function showMSG(name, email2Send) { // for ease of use I give the urls as parameters but you could define these urls in the function as well
var app = UiApp.createApplication().setHeight(60).setWidth(200);
app.setTitle("Msg send with sucess!");
var msg = "You request to " + email2Send + " a response from " + name;
app.add(app.createVerticalPanel().setTag(msg));
var doc = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
doc.show(app);
}
THANKS in advance for any help!
The TAG of a widget is not visible, its purpose is actually to store string data in a way that is not visible.
To show a text use a label or an html widget.
example in your code :
function showMSG(name, email2Send) { // for ease of use I give the urls as parameters but you could define these urls in the function as well
var app = UiApp.createApplication().setHeight(60).setWidth(200);
app.setTitle("Msg send with sucess!");
var msg = "You request to " + email2Send + " a response from " + name;
app.add(app.createVerticalPanel().add(app.createLabel(msg)));
var doc = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
doc.show(app);
}
The following code accesses a helper method which creates and returns an EPPlus ExcelPackage, then returns the package to the browser:
public ActionResult DownloadMatrixExcel(int projectId)
{
try
{
// Get project details
var project = (from p in db.Projects
where p.ProjectId == projectId
select new
{
companyName = p.Company.Name,
projectName = p.Name
}).Single();
// Must append file type to file download responses
var fileName = project.projectName + "-" + project.companyName + "-" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) + ".xlsx";
// Configure response
Response.Clear();
Response.BufferOutput = false;
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);
// Create and populate excel package
var matrixSpreadsheet = ExcelHelper.BuildMatrixExcel(projectId);
matrixSpreadsheet.SaveAs(Response.OutputStream);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return Content("Error: " + e.Message);
}
// Download okay - No ViewResult
return new EmptyResult();
}
Works fine in every browser I have tested but FireFox 18.0.1 (have yet to test other FF versions) trims the file name at the first space, so "someproject - somecompany - thedate" is just "someproject". I can do a Replace and remove spaces but this makes some file names look a bit odd. File extension seems to be intact and no other issues but wondered if anyone could offer an explanation or fix?
You should place the filename between quote characters ("filename").
Okay, found the answer here while researching another issue: File Download issue in FireFox only
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
string.Format("attachment; filename = \"{0}\"",
System.IO.Path.GetFileName(FileName)));
This will also give the file the correct content type when you choose to save rather than open in browser in FireFox.
What I'm trying to implement is giving the users the ability to export the grid data to an excel file and download it, with the help of a file save dialog.
Here's how I have coded it right now -
In Javascript -
$.post("/irn/Identifier/Download", { "columnValues": columnValues });
In the Identifier controllers Download action -
public FileResult Download(string columnValues)
{
DTData headlineRows = (DTData)Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(columnValues, typeof(DTData));
var e = new Services.DownloadToExcel();
return File(e.WriteData(headlineRows), "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet", "testfile.xlsx");
}
In the DownloadToExcel class, inside the WriteData function I have -
//Here, I'm using the EPPlus library to write the column data to an excel file and then i'm returning the data as a byte array -
//Some code that writes the data
return packages.GetAsByteArray();
When I run this code, I expect to see a File Save Dialog in the browser, but nothing happens. There aren't any errors on the C# or JavaScript side. Can anyone tell me what i could be doing wrong?
bit late but I was having a similar issue. To solve it I used JSON.stringify(columnValues) on the client to convert my data into a json string before sending it to the controller.
Then instead of using
$.post("/irn/Identifier/Download", { "columnValues": columnValues });
try
var columnValuesString = JSON.stringify(columnvalues);
window.location = '/irn/Identifier/Download?columnvalues=" + columnValuesString';
Changing the $.post() to a window.location makes it work.
Then you can deserialize the json string in the controller and your Open/Save dialog should appear after hitting your link.
I hope this helps someone else. Let me know and I can post my code if needed.
Thanks.
If you're testing the site in Internet Explorer, try the following:
Open Internet Options -> Advanced. Click Reset. You can also choose to Restore Advanced Settings.
Open Internet Options -> Security. If zones have been changed at all, click "Reset all zones to default level".
Changes to these settings may affect whether or not Internet Explorer accepts file downloads.

You should use IFrame to help downlaoding the file.
function postToIframe( url,data) {
var target = "downloadIFrame";
$('<iframe name="' + target + '" style="display:none"/>').appendTo('body');
$('body').append('<form action="' + url + '" method="post" target="' + target + '" id="postToIframe"></form>');
$.each(data, function (n, v) {
$('#postToIframe').append('<textarea name="' + n + '">' + v + '</textarea>');
});
$('#postToIframe').submit().remove();
}
I solved this but forgot to update here -
This worked -
Inside my class -
private const string MimeType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-
officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet";
private ExcelPackage package = new ExcelPackage();
private FileContentResult excelFile;
Write data using EPPlus
...
...
...
excelFile = File(package.GetAsByteArray(), MimeType, FileName);
return excelFile;
