Hi Aamer, like Abyot indicates, the file resources are currently only used to back data values and events with data element type "File". In this case, the actual data value is a weak reference to the file resource. So you need to create a corresponding data value/event and then access the file through the "dataValues" / "events" resources to access the files. This is done in order to follow standard access control and retrieval syntax, however it might be inconvenient for your use-case.
Supporting "standalone" file resources is a feature we are planning to implement, but we cannot guarantee which version at this point. Perhaps you could take it on? I do not think it will be a huge task. One can extend the "FileResourceDomain" class with a new enum value, and then add support for retrieving files of "standalone" file resources in FileResourceController. regards, Lars On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 11:23 AM, Abyot Asalefew Gizaw <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Aamer, > > To get the files you uploaded, you need to use the following end points: > > If the file is stored through the aggregate part of dhis2 > > api/dataValues/files?de=<data_element_uid>&co=<category_option_combo_uid>&ou=<organisation_unit_uid>&pe=<period> > > > > If the file is stored through the tracker part of dhis2 > > api/events/files?eventUid=<event_uid>&dataElementUid=<data_element_uid> > > --- > Thank you, > Abyot. > > On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 10:40 AM, Aamer Mohammed <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Any thoughts from the community please.
