Pdf link for the submitted form to the Guest users

[nikhil.pa@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am using one Fabrik form. On submission of this form, the user is redirected using redirect plugin to a new page. In this new page Submission message is displayed. As part of this submission message, I want to display a link for the form pdf so that the users can take the print of that pdf. The redirect plugin has been configured as follows.



The link to pdf looks like as below.

index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=form&formid=3&format=PDF&rowid=17

When clicked by a guest user, the above link gives the following error. I don't want to give any other access to the guest user except he should be able to download the data as well.


I have setup the following access for the form and list. Could you please provide me the pointers?

view=form is edit access.
So you should use view=details.
But even then you'll get "you are not authorized..." because a guest has no access at all.

With view access he would be able to see all records (by editing the rowid in the URL).

You can
create each record with an element storing a random hash
compose the pdf link including something like &myhash={table___hashelement}
add a prefilter applied to guests with table___hashelement EQUALS {myhash} (so a guest can only see his own record via a URL containing &myhash=his-hash-value)
set "View records" to public

This really was a very good idea and I was able to make some progress. But ran into one issue, could you please help me with that.

After this change for the registers users, the list view is empty. Because the data is getting pre-filtered on the hash and the hash is not available in the URL. Is there an option to add this pre-filter for 'not registered' users only. For registered users this pre-filter should not be applicable.

You must apply the prefilter to guests only.
There should be a standard Joomla accesslevel "guest"

Thanks that worked. Actually as of now I was verifying the concept using the details view by providing the link like below.

I was not able to make the progress on the PDF view as I ran into the below issue. I will open a separate thread of that.
