Can download files in Supercontainer portals?

[cos]

In the example file from 360works the Portal example is nice, but right click or control click doesn't give download file.

I'm sort of understanding why that is.

Is it possible to script to download files in Supercontainer portals using the plugin?

Thanks

Web viewers cannot be used in portals, so there are a couple of things you can do:

1) use scgetcontainer in an unstored calc to download the files into temporary container fields in your portal. This will be slow, as you'll have to download the full files in to the container fields each time you load the layout.

2) use the portal as a selector for you files, and load supercontainer in a larger webviewer to the side of the portal. Make it so that when a user clicks on a portal row that the web viewer on the side loads the SuperContainer URL of that file for them to upload to or download from.

We show a preview in the portal view and then allow the user to click on the portal row to be taken to a new layout where they can download the full file. This is similar to option 2 above, but we go to a new layout rather than setting a web viewer on the same layout.

thanks Smef. #1 will not work. I noticed that design scheme #2 in the sample and thought that might be the solution. Will work with that.
