Download link for images

What is the solution to create a download link that will
automatically start to download to the hard disk or ask where to be
saved (ie. Desktop, Downloads)? What I don't want to happen is to
have the image open in a new browser window. I have .eps, .tif and
.jpg files. Is this hard to do? I can't find any help anywhere on
the net for this problem.

Well, usually the preferred way is to just link to the image
or another
file and let the browser/user decide what do with it.
If you still want to "force" a download, the easiest way for
you as the
author is to simply zip the file(s). In most cases this will
cause a
download dialog, but also creates another hurdle for the
user, because
he has to unpack the file before he can use it.
Another way - a bit more complicated for you, but much easier
for the
users - would be to deliver the files with another content
type like
"application/octet-stream". This should also cause a download
dialog.
How to do that depends on the capabilities of your server. It
can be
done with scripting or even with just a simple AddType
directive in an
.htaccess file on Apache servers.

  • Download link for only some rows

    Hi,
    I have 2 tables. One contains records for products, and the other contains images for only some of the products. The images have been uploaded through the application and therefore are in a 'upload_data' table.
    The tables are linked by product_id.
    I would like to display a report that shows all the column from the products table and a download link for only those products that have an image.
    So far the query only returns those rows that have an image.
    Thanks

  • Downloading Linked Web Images

    I do a lot of photo-manipulations, and one thing I need are lots of different images to play around with. A couple of the women in my manipulations group are very good at searching out images and post new galleries of images each week. Downloading these images is a long, repetitive process (not as long as trying to search for them myself, but still hours each week if I want to snag them all).
    Automator is supposed to help deal with repetitive processes, and indeed there is a sample workflow called "Downloading Linked Web Images" on the front Automator page. It goes like this:
    1> Get current webpage from Safari
    2> Get image URLs from webpage (set to Get URLs linked from these webpages)
    3> Download URLs (where: Pictures is set in example, I set it to where: Incoming Downloads, the folder I download everything to and which is set up as a safe zone in Norton Anti-Virus)
    The workflow goes on with the following step to add the photos to iPhoto, but I stopped it here because I don't want the photos in iPhoto.
    4> Import photos into iPhoto (add to: either choose album with a pull-down menu or new album with a input box for the name, checkbox for "delete the source images after importing them")
    This workflow doesn't work, and I don't know why.
    On one of her galleries it said it sucessfully completed, but all it did was download an html file that when clicked on gave me a linking instructions page, which linked to the small version of the first photo in the gallery. (I replaced her actual name with "username" in the address to protect her privacy.)
    href=http://username.multiply.com/photos/photo/15/1>353474_3995.jpg
    On her other galleries, the workflow stopped at step 2 with this message:
    AppleScript Error:
    The command exited with a non-zero status. (255)
    I have no idea what that error is.
    The steps I currently go through to download photos from her galleries are (again I've substituted "username" for her real name in all the addresses):
    1) Open gallery address in Safari. They take this form:
    http://username.multiply.com/photos/album/15
    2) Double click on one of the thumbnails, which opens a page with a small version of that single photo. The addresses take this form:
    http://username.multiply.com/photos/photo/15/1
    3) Double click on the small version of the photo to open the large version. The large version addresses look like this:
    http://username.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/15/1?xurl=%2Fphotos%2Fphoto%2F15%2F1
    4) Command-click on large photo and choose "Save image to Incoming Downloads."
    5) Either hit the "back" link on the large picture page or the back button on Safari to get back to the small picture page.
    6) Either hit the back button on Safari to go back to the gallery page, or hit the "next" link on the small picture page to go to the small picture page for the next photo in the gallery.
    7) Either: a) from gallery page, repeat from step 2, or b) from small version page of next photo in gallery, repeat from step 3.
    Continue to repeat until I've downloaded all the pictures I like, or I'm totally exhausted, or I have no more time. This one person's galleries have between 60 and 300 photos each, and she updates three to five galleries each week.
    My group also has other people who put up galleries of images less often, but usually with more images. Last weekend one woman put up a gallery with 4387 pictures!
    Downloading pictures one at a time takes forever, and the process should be able to be automated. If someone posts galleries that aren't entirely new images every week, it would still be much faster to download everything and trash the pictures I didn't want.
    Does anyone know why this workflow won't work? It's one of the two sample workflows Apple has posted to demonstrate how Automator works, so I'm very surprised to find it doesn't work. BTW, I did download and install the latest version of Automator & X-code tools before trying the sample workflows.
    Can someone help?
    Thanks,

    Not sure I can help you with Automator but here's two options:
    Hazel (http://www.noodlesoft.com/hazel.php) will watch a folder for you and import the pics to a specified album
    Or
    Right click on the iPhoto Package File in Pictures and go 'Show Package Contents' In the resulting window you'll see a folder called 'Auto Import'. Make an alias to the folder and drag it to the desktop. Pics dropped onto that folder will be imported the next time iPhoto launches.

  • Where is the download link for SCEP Client Offline installer for x86 & x64 altest greatest version (4.6.305 as of today)

    Where is the download link for SCEP Client Offline installer for x86 & x64 latest greatest version (4.6.305 as of today)?
    The answer IS NOT IT AND NEVER WILL BE "DOES NOT EXIST"!!!!!! MUST NEVER NEED TO RUN UPDATES TO GET IT!!!!!!!!! THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE ANSWER IS THE LINK!!!!! DUH GET YOUR ACT IN GEAR MS!!!!!!!!!!
    Ralph

    Thanks to all for the information. I work in higher ed. We have SCCM latest version, fully licensed. Unfortunately the individual who manages the SC does not have a clue as to where to find the SCEP installer. I sent him links from MS that shows him where
    it is supposed to be. The version he say's is on our SC Management server is 4.3. I, in the past, was able to get 4.5 independent of him and it has been working well for me but it is time to use the latest greatest version instead. I should just as easily
    be able to get 4.6. As far as licensing goes, if the product was correctly designed it should just work itself out just like it does for the 4.5 version I was able to easily find and download.
    As for the link given by KevinMJohnston, thanks by the way, its the closest I have come to getting what I need but all I get is a spinning wheel in Firefox, the only browser one should ever need. In IE I get prompted for an email address, which it should
    NEVER EVER DO!!!!!!!!!! I did give them my address, but alas, after waiting over 30 mins. I still don't have a link to the update or the CU4 Config MGR update mentioned. (Another reason I am not very nice to MS, along with, see below...) Please send me the
    link that they are suppose to send me in the email.
    As for the intensity of the request it comes from not being able to find the update on my own. (Amongst a million other complaints as MS makes my job harder and harder, just think of all the lost productivity and extra repair efforts needed because MS stopped
    allowing you to do upgrade/repair installs from the install discs. You have to have a working OS to do it, or you will lose your settings etc and will have to re-install all of your software etc. How STUPID IS THAT! Can't use it to fix a blown driver or BSOD
    problem like you could in XP.  There is no excuse for that, I know better. So you can see why I have nothing good to say about MS etc etc.) There is no excuse for that! If the MS updater has it available then IT MUST BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR STANDALONE DOWNLOAD
    PERIOD. That goes for ALL updates PERIOD.  I use these updates and many others etc so that once I seal an image for a PC it has the latest greatest version of everything. It is quicker to get it stand alone in advance and installing than waiting for MS
    updates to do so. Also I prefer to config my images so that the Av installs after first boot. These are cloned PCs. Many of these PC are used in labs and are frozen. Here, the settings for the SCEP AV being pushed from above can cause major problems for the
    users i.e. the scheduled scan feature. If it is on when students are taking tests and they take more than 5 or 10 mins on question MS is stupid enough to start scanning causing the system to become unresponsive. This has caused students to breakdown in tears
    thinking the system is hosed and they just lost their tests. I have to do some creative reg hack, setting owner as "Guest", a disabled account, etc. to keep these settings from being changed. (Our SC managers push policies that work for the faculty
    but break the lab systems which are frozen, so I have to out hack them, should not be, but it is, we are trying to get that fixed, but bureaucracy and people afraid to share power etc makes it hard.)  These settings unfortunately will prevent the AV from
    installing so I need to be able to manually do it after I have set the reg to allow it.  And I could go on. Who knows when or why someone may need to do a manual update of something. I just had 3 systems fail 12 updates, yet when I manually downloaded
    them and installed them they ALL installed without failure. I did NOTHING in between the auto update and the manual, yet it was the manual way that worked. Maybe if MS could fix those kind of issues then no one would need to get stand alone update files.)
    That is not for MS to worry about. It is, however, their responsibility to make it so that I can choose what will work best for my environment, which only I could know. DUH. I have had issues in the past with MS AV and other brands being installed before "sealing"
    the images. etc. etc. etc.
    As you can see, there is not enough space on the world wide web to list all thousands of legitimate reasons to give Microsoft a hard time so I will do so on a case by case bases knowing I am probably spitting in to the wind, but hey somebody has to have
    the guts to do it. MS MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO SIMPLY GET AWAY WITH IT! They Must be called to the proverbial carpet.
    Maybe if people who are MVPs would not be afraid to join the choruses they would be embarrassed, (though it should be done out of moral obligation not embarrassment), enough to fix these obviously fixable problems etc. etc. etc. I have over 30 years in the
    IT business, the IBM XT did not exist until my senior year in college. You are not going to be able to convince me that there is a legitimate reason, copy protection IS NOT IT, to prevent me from fixing blown OS via re-install using install disc when OS will
    not boot. Nor are you going to be able to find legitimate reason for the SCEP 4.6.305 update to be so hard to get.
    Thanks again for the help, still waiting for email from MS, NOT COOL MS! NO EXCUSE!!!!!

  • Re: Problem providing download link for BLOB data in apex report

    Problem providing download link for BLOB data in apex report 
    591953 Nov 19, 2008 1:55 PM (in response to 660436)
    Currently Being Moderated
    Good morning,
    Here is how I have solved this problem.
    1. The select statement in the sql for the report should not include the BLOB column. I decided to select only 2 columns, the column that has the key and the column with the filename.
    2. On the first column ( the primary key ) I put in the format statement that was simply DOWNLOAD:TABLENAME:BLOB_COLUMN:PRIMARY_KEY
    This works. I believe that the Oracle error I was getting was because I was trying to apply this format statement to the actual BLOB column.
    So, it appears that you can use any of the columns in the report to hold the DOWNLOAD format statement since in the format statement, you are defining the BLOB table, BLOB column and the primary key into that column.
    Hope this helps,
    Don.

  • Problem providing download link for BLOB data in apex report

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a report on a table with BLOB data so that the report displays a "download" link for the BLOB data. I am trying to give users the ability to download files from a website.
    I have been following the instructions in OBE "Defining and Viewing BLOB Data in Oracle Application Express 3.1".
    In the report, for the BLOB column, I have specified values for the following fields in Report Attributes->Column Formatting->Number/Date Format->BLOB Download Format Mask:
    BLOB Table
    BLOB Column
    Primary Key Column 1
    MIME Type Column
    Filename Column
    BLOB Last Updated Column
    However, when I run the report, I get the following error, even thought there is data loaded into the table:
    report error:
    ORA-01403: no data found
    When I remove the BLOB Download Format Mask information for the BLOB column, then the data displays in the report, but without the "download" link for the BLOB data (which is expected):
    E.g.
    Title Author Created BLOB_CONTENT
    Siebel & RAC Best Practices     Erik.Peterson     17-SEP-08     [datatype]
    Siebel Grid Case Studies     Mark.MacDonald     17-SEP-08     [datatype]
    Siebel CRM Applications protected by Oracle Clusterware     Kelly.Tan     17-SEP-08 [datatype]
    Oracle Grid: The Optimal Platform for Siebel Solutions Mark.MacDonald 17-SEP-08     [datatype]
    Any ideas why I'm seeing the ORA_01403 when I specify the BLOB Download Format Mask?

  • Problem with download link for a BLOB Column in a "Classic report"

    I am having a problem where I cannot make a download link for a blob column function in a "classic" (non-interactive) report. I went through the tutorial on this topic and it was great help it working out the minor bugs, but I get a 404 error (apex_util.get_BLOB not found). For testing purposes I went ahead and created a an identical report on the same page that is an "Interactive report" and it works like a charm. Same query, same BLOB formatting Mask, pulling data from the same table. So, it really doesn't seem like an issue with the grants, since both reports should be executing as the same user.
    I know it sounds like the obvious answer is to just go with the interactive report and my problem is solved, but the rest of this site uses classic reports, and I don't need the sort features of an interactive report, and the slightly different style of the the report really stands out even if I turn off all the bells and whistles. I don't want to change the css to make them look identical, I just want a regular report to work.

    I eventually found another post: APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB was not found on this server
    In this post there is the suggestion of putting "dbms_lob.getlength("var")" after the date field in your select. So I changed my query to have it at the end, and now my format mask (DOWNLOAD:table_name:ATTACHED_FILE:FILE_ID::FILE_MIME_TYPE:FILE_NAME:::attachment:Download) works like a charm, in a classic report.
