Creating Service Catalog File Download Links

[jmiskey]

Using Helsinki, we are trying to figure out how we can add a Download Link to a Service Catalog Variable.

I found this link here: Re: catalog item download a file from catalog item

That seemed to work just fine from the Self Service Service Catalog, but when ran from the Service Portal, the link does not display.

Then I came across this link here: UI macro is not visible on Portal? , which says that UI Macros do not work from Service Portal.

So, that last link seems to suggest that I need to create a Widget to do this.   I have never created a Widget before.

Can someone explain how to create a Widget specifically designed to create a link to download a file, and how to incorporate it into my Service Catalog?

Thanks

Joe,

This should get you what you need for the widget, then select it in the "Widget" field of your macro variable in the catalog:

(just replace the bolded items with your stuff)

HTML Code:

<div>

<a href="/sys_attachment.do?sys_id={sys_id of your attachment}">Text you want to display</a>

</div>

Client Controller:

function ($scope,$location) {

   $scope.download = function(path){

   $location.path(path);
 };
}

Hope this helps!

What we need to pass in place of  sys_id of your attachment(because it will be dynamic )?

and in place of path??
