Added a new online resouce does not locate the id on file upload

[ianwallen]

When adding a new online resource and then selecting "file for download" the "file upload" button shows up. However clicking on the button does not work. There is an error due to the ID missing from the startFileUpload. It is looks something like the following.

startFileUpload(, '999');

Workaround: Save the document which will cause it to get reloaded and then it will locate the ID and the file can be loaded.

Note sure if this is related to Ticket #512 ​http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Creating-child-bug-tc3875903.html

Hi Ian,

Confirm I get the exact same issue with schemas iso19139, iso19139.anzlic and iso19139.mcp-1.4. Also confirm that your 'Save'/Upload workaround works but this is won't be intuitive for any lay users.

Some more details:

• I am testing GN 2.8RC2 + ANZMEST 2.8RC2
• Have the file.disclaimer service option switched ON in admin sys. config
• Auto fixes ON (update-fixed.info.xsl )in admin sys. config

To reproduce: -In editor Add (+) Online Resource -Select Protocol - "File for download" -FILE UPLOAD button appears -Click the Button

Firebug console shows Javascript error startFileUpload(,'186') This function is line 644 in file gn.editor.js.

Seems that the problem is the gmd:URL (with the ID/UUID) is missing initially as you noted. When the 'Save' workaround is done the gmd:URL is filled.

Fix might be:

-If protocol 'file for download' selected look up the gmd:URL and fill it with this base URL (without fname):

​http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/en/file.disclaimer?uuid=e8b0f573-bc13-4c2c-80e0-f1812e863292&fname=&access=private

Then I guess the FILE UPLOAD button should work and the upload would fill in the fname argument.

Developers,

Could this issue be pushed up on the priority list. Being able to attach a real data to the metadata is IMHO an important and really useful function.

Regards,

Andrew

Hi Simon,

Thanks for fixing that. I patched metadata-iso19139.xsl. Confirmed the upload button working OK with iso19139, iso19139.anzlic and iso19139.mcp1.4
