e.g. clicking the download records button on 
http://collections.ala.org.au/public/show/dr365 produces an error - A 
reasonTypeId must be provided.

This needs a download dialog within the collectory so that the user can provide 
a reason. 

Dave - we had a discussion about this either on email or skype...

Since the "download" buttons are on data resource/provider websites and we are 
not offering the ability to filter. It may be worth auto generating the 
downloads for the pages at regular intervals as they shouldn't change that 
often.  Just need to work out the best way to report the download stats for 
this.

You can have a weekly task that queries the index for a list of data resource, 
providers, collection, institutions that have had records inserted/updated 
since the last file was generate and only produce new downloads for changed 
entities.

Actually I am thinking that a lot of these downloads are repeatable things
that we could scheduled an link off to.  Similar to how we do the DwCA's.
But this may not satisfy some of the reporting needs.

I had hoped to add that back in. Just needs a popup form.
Agree on the offline download.

Hi Dave,

I am going through my list of issues and I found this one:
http://code.google.com/p/ala/issues/detail?id=524

About the download button not working from in the collectory, since we
made the download reason mandatory. I remember that we had a chat about
this issue (I can't remember the outcome).  I have noticed that there is
no download button anymore. Are we planning to support a download button
within the collectory?

When these data resources have >500,000 records we should probably perform
an offline download so that they get all the records.

Regards
Natasha
