Params URL

[erjezus]

Forum: https://forum.groupdocs.com/t/params-url/7489/2

I need to load a document in the viewer by passing the name of the document in the url. The documentDefault parameter is static and I need to change it dynamically.

I need to go through the URL the name or path of the document to display or set the documentDefault attribute. Could you tell me how? Thanks

Hi @erjezus. As far as I understand, you want to customize viewer in a way that it will be able to open a document using some kind of identifier passed in URL. I prepared an example of this use case in a separate branch (also check out what was added/changed).

This example expects to receive a URL of the document in a query string. EX:

http://localhost:8080/viewer/?url=https://calibre-ebook.com/downloads/demos/demo.docx

then it downloads this file to a server and opens it in Viewer.

You can modify constructor logic to fit your use case. For example, instead of using URL to download and open a downloaded file you can use another identifier or filename to open files you already have at your server.

Let me know if this solution works for you.

Hello, I am deploying the application with the war profile with finalName viewerDocument. Currently I get this error when starting.

Thanks.

@erjezus by default we assume that API located at http://localhost:8080. In order to change this to your custom endpoint simply modify this line

Hi, the solution works correctly. But I need the viewer options bar too. Also if the document contains a URL as hyperlink does not work.

Hi @egorovpavel,

Any update regarding this issue? We are waiting for two issues:

1. The final solution with the viewer options bar.
2. If a document contains an URL as hyperlink, the link doesn’t work.

Thank you!

Hi @erjezus. The provided branch was intended to showcase the way to customize the behavior and appearance of the GroupDocs.Viewer application. I updated this branch and reverted to the original view and stylings.

In case you need to customize the original appearance just edit files related with custom component https://github.com/groupdocs-viewer/GroupDocs.Viewer-for-Java-Spring/tree/custom-viewer-example/client/apps/viewer/src/app/custom-viewer

Regarding the issue with the links in the document I was unable to reproduce this issue, please provide a document where we can reproduce this issue.

FYI @mjim79

These two documents contain url, the viewer shows them as text. We have performed tests even with the test viewer (https://products.groupdocs.app/viewer)

Hi @erjezus, I tried both files and was able to view and click on links

Make sure that you are using correct rendering mode (htmlMode = true) in configuration.yml

Viewer configuration options
