Document Preview configuration with Alfresco webscript

Question

I have a javascript based webscript using which user can upload files, create folders and retrieve uploaded files and their respective metadata. Now I want to enable a functionality for user to preview the uploaded files in Document Preview Pane of share console in a separate window.

Unfortunately I couldn't able to find any builtin webscript in alfresco console( http://172.20.3.63:8080/alfresco/s/index). Or any javascript api. I did able to find webscript in share console(http://172.20.3.63:8080/share/page/index )

172.20.3.63:8080/share/page/components/preview/web-preview?nodeRef=workspace://SpacesStore/d6e102a7-a0f1-4a20-ac05-387bb3636529 But result is a blank webpage. I want to allow user to preview the file based on the authentication of my webscript which is based on alfresco ticket.

Any suggestion to achieve aforementioned functionality?

Answer 1

Try this kind of URL:

https://example.com/share/proxy/alfresco/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/700a66d1-15ea-41e3-9032-d069d673ef5c/content/thumbnails/pdf

Replace 700a66d1-15ea-41e3-9032-d069d673ef5c with the UUID of your node.

You can also replace the last segment pdf with other renditions you want to see: doclib (PNG thumbnail), imgpreview (JPG preview), and others.
