+21We would like to make a little more advanced cardlist, that can shows multiple files from a child table.
Something like this:
I know how the html should like and have seen that indicium can deliver the images by file_id.
e.g.
<img src="https://..../entity_document(ent_id=11111,doc_id=999999)/STT.download_doc_url(file_id='??????????????')?$size=100">The only question I have, is how to determine the file_id of a saved files?
Would it be possible anyways, or a another approach required?

Hello Harm,
The file_id parameter is an optional parameter that is only used for browser caching purposes. When the file_id is provided, Indicium will include a header in the response that instructs the browser to cache the response for that URL. When the file_id is not included (or file_id=null), the URL is not specific enough to allow the browser to cache it, but the request will work just fine.
You can only obtain the file_id by sending a request for the subject and including an $eager querystring parameter with a comma-separated list of file columns for which you want a file_id. So in your example, if you鈥檇 send this request:
GET
https://..../entity_document(ent_id=11111,doc_id=999999)?$eager=doc_urlYou would see the download URL in the response with the file_id included.
https://..../entity_document(ent_id=11111,doc_id=999999)/STT.download_doc_url(file_id='123456')Now I can imagine that this is not an option for you, so you could just do this instead:
https://..../entity_document(ent_id=11111,doc_id=999999)/STT.download_doc_url()I hope that helps.

+21Hi Vincent,
Sure this helps. I will try this straight away.
I assume it will work, you make us very happy with this!
+23Well
If so, could you give us a sneak peak?
+21Hi
This one example of how a card list looks like in our application
Possibilities are now almost endless
+21As you can see, we are now able to make use of the file API.
This does the trick for us:
<img data-testid="event_image" alt="Original Url" src="/indicium/[meta_source]/[appl_id]/document([doc_id])/STT.download_document_url?$size=100">To let it work in any environment compose url鈥檚 we need to replace the meta_source placeholder (iam or sf) dynamically.
Any idea how to achieve this?
[appl_id] is already replaced with the result of SESSION_CONTEXT(N'tsf_appl_id')
To get the current meta source, such a session variable is not available. Am I right?
+21I tried to use the new deep link syntax for this, like below.
<a href="/universal/#application=:' + CAST(SESSION_CONTEXT(N'tsf_appl_id') AS VARCHAR(10)) + '/document([doc_id])/STT.download_document_url">Open...</a>The URL in the link looks good, but it does not work, a new browser tab opens and the document is not downloaded.
Should it work, did I miss something?
