MyDspace Image URLs Doesn't Work

[sooraj shukla]

Hey,

I have a use case which needs the uploaded asset URL working even if it's in MyDspace. (/bitstreams/6376b759-34b4-45e6-bbcd-db2e6d795f26/content).

When we upload an asset in Dspace, we have a few options i.e. Save As draft, Deposit. If I opt for Save As Draft then the asset moves to a workflow i.e. "MyDspace" (domain/mydspace?configuration=workspace) and if I choose Deposit then it moves the selected collection.

When I try to hit the bitstream URL of an asset that is in myDspace folder then it doesn't work but If I deposit the asset in the collection and then try the same URL then it works.

/bitstreams/6376b759-34b4-45e6-bbcd-db2e6d795f26/content

Can we fix this?

Many Thanks!

Cheers,

Sooraj

Hi Sooraj,

I'm not able to reproduce this issue on our Demo site (running DSpace 7.6.x) at https://demo.dspace.org/home  I've tried the following:

1. Login as an admin

2. Create a new Submission

3. Upload at least on file (bitstream)

4. Click "Save for Later"

5. Back on MyDSpace, click "View" next to that Submission

6. I can see the metadata and file.  Click "Download" link and the file downloads

My best guess is that either you are running an older version of DSpace where this bug exists, or maybe you are doing something different than I am.  If you can find a way to reproduce this issue on our Demo Site, then I'd recommend creating a bug ticket at https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues  We'd then look for a volunteer to solve the issue.
