Display contents of results from search

[Rick Garcia]

Hello -

I was wondering if you might be able to help me.  We just recently installed Datafari and we really like the results of the search capabilities.  However, we when try to display the actual content of the results, we receive a blank page.  For example, if we click on one of the results of the search, we receive the a new page and the URL is given as:

http://shinto.pmo.ad.laleader.com:8080/Datafari/URL?url=file:/media/lanmanual/Development%20LAN/Procedures/Site%20Server%20Procedures/Server%20Changover%20Checklist.xls&id=b8910e99-4cbc-46c0-84a4-6dddc5ac39c8&q=server%20removal&position=2

But the document is not displayed.  Is there something we can do to actually see the document?

Thank you for any guidance you can provide,

Rick

Hi Rick,

from what I understand, you have the classical problem of web browsers security restrictions when opening files. By default, Firefox, Chrome and IE all forbid opening files, for security reasons. There are work arounds for each of these browsers. Which one are you using?

Hi Cedric -

thank you for replying,

I've tried Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, same results with all 3.  Generally I use Chrome.

If you can show me on Chrome perhaps, maybe I can figure out the other ones?

thank you,

Rick

Hi Rick,

here you are with the Chrome procedure. It is not the same one for Firefox and IE, if needed I'll drop it some time later:

By default (and for security !), Chrome forbids the opening of urls pointing towards local files, from a web browser. There is a workaround using the Localinks extension:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/locallinks/jllpkdkcdjndhggodimiphkghogcpida

Then activate the extension.

Hi Cedric,

Thank you very much, I'm going to download the plugin and give that a try.  I can find a similar plugin for Firefox, the only one I need help with would be Internet Explorer since it does not use plug ins. What would be the work around for Internet Explorer?

Thank you,

Rick

Hi Cedric -

That plug in for Chrome only works if the file system is local and on the same server as the application, Datafari.  I fixed the problem by re-writing the url.jsp to actually grab the file you click on and present it to your browser.  With the browser configured to open those file types, the documents come right up.

I would be happy to share the jsp and contribute back to the project.

Let me know,

Thank you again for your efforts,

Rick

Hi Rick,

sorry for the delay in my answer! Your proposal sounds fine, and it seems to be working. Since you want to share the jsp with the community, I'd suggest we do the following:

1. You create a fork of datafari on github and you put your modified url.jsp

2. We take a look at it and if it looks fine from a coding perspective, we'll then merge it in the Datafari trunk.

Sounds good ?

Regards,

Cedric

Hi, this post is from 2014 but Im having the same issue. Im new in Datafari, so I may be doing something worng.

The indexed page retrivies me:

http://10.200.52.169:8080/Datafari/URL?url=file://///10.200.51.134/setores/SIGINT/MIcrosoft.pdf&id=759cd8bc-1b5b-414f-81ae-95c98d1e5bb7&q=pdf&position=2

But when I click on it or in the "Open document from source" button, it shows a blank page.

If I copy the link file://///10.200.51.134/setores/SIGINT/MIcrosoft.pdf and paste directly into the browser it opens normally.

How could I solve this?

Hi,

Could you tell me what is the version number of Datafari you use please ? And also on which browser ?

Best regards,

Olivier

Datafari CE 4.3

Firefox 60.6.3esr, it opens a blank page.

Chrome  75.0.3770.142

Microsoft Edge 38.14393.1066.0

Chrome and Edge open a page with a link "Link to Document" with the link: file://10.200.51.134/setores/SIGINT/MIcrosoft.pdf, but when I click on it, doesnt happen anything. When I copy and paste the url in a new tab, it shows the document.

Hi,

 

Did you follow this documentation to be sure that your browsers allow to open files from links ? https://datafari.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DATAFARI/pages/14745633/Opening+Files+with+Browsers+Configuration

 

Regards,
Julien

Thank you Julien. That was the problem. I used to work with Fess and didnt have to do this implementation on firefox.

Now it works!
