Creating http link to the latest version?

csharp

Hi,

I have understood that it is possible to link to FileSite documents like this:

http://webserver/WorkSite/scripts/ViewDoc.aspx?nrtid=!nrtdms:0:!session:filesiteserver:!database:LIVE:!document:3099798,1:&latest=1&command=ok

This however, will open version 1 of the document. Replacing the ",1" after the document number will make it open the corresponding version.

What I would like to know, is if there is a way to make the link always open the latest version of the specified document number?

Any help appreciated!

the latest=1 should open the latest version - Is this not working for you?

Thanks

No, apparently the latest=1 parameter works for getDoc.aspx only, not viewDoc.aspx...

We are on version 8.2, and as far as I've heard this is not supported until 8.5

You can write a small HTTPHandler which can mimic the logic of getdocs.aspx for viewdocs.aspx -

Yes, I am aware of that and actually tried to do it too, but I think my code messed up something even though I have no idea why, but the result was that the viewDoc.aspx kept prompting me for a user name and password (the Windows authentication box) and no matter what I entered it refused to log me in...

To resolve it, I tried removing my DLL from the \bin directory and deleting the http-handler entry I had added to the web.config file, but the problem persisted :-(

I had to seek assistance from a more experienced developer to have the problem rectified, and he also had no idea why this problem had occured, but solved it by reinstalling the Worksite Web.

So now I am a bit afraid to mess with anything, in case I'll break someting again.....
