Download Formats

Back to top

Download Formats for Images

Download formats are formats defined by you, which you want to offer to your users. When downloading a file, the user can choose from the formats configured here.

Download formats are configured separately for each file family (images, text, audio, video, and unknown file formats).

Each download format consists of a unique name, a template for the file name, a file type, and type-specific options.

 

Filename Templates

The file name template can contain text and special characters (except colon, semicolon, and forward slash), as well as placeholders which, upon downloading, will be replaced by the respective metadata of the file.

Placeholders can be defined in different variations:

  • %id% – gets replaced by the metadata field value of the given “id”,
  • %id.xform% – text is additionally transformed by “xform”,
  • %id.xform1.xform2.xform3% – text is additionally transformed by multiple “xform” after each other,
  • %id1|id2% – Alternative: if text is empty, the value of the metadata field ”id2″ is used,
  • %id1.xform|id2.xform% – combination of “id1” and “id2” with their own transformation,
  • %id1.xform1.xform2|id2.xform3% –  combination of “id1” and “id2” with multiple transformation,

Notice:

  • At most one alternative is used (separated by “|”).
  • Any number of transformation can be used in a row (separated by “.”).

 

id

  • a numeric metadata-id,
  • or “s” for the file ending of the download format.

 

xform

  • basename – removes a file ending, if it exists (“example.png” -> “example”),
  • suffix – the file ending, if it exists (“example.png” -> “png”),
  • upper – converts text to uppercase,
  • lower – converts text to lowercase,
  • ucfirst – converts the first character to uppercase,
  • safealphanumeric – converts all non alpha-numberic characters to underscores (“C:\foo|bar.baz <Item>” -> “C__foo_bar_baz__Item_”)
  • safefilename – converts all invalid characters in the filename to underscores (“C:\foo|bar.baz <Item>” -> “C__foo_bar.baz _Item_”)
  • underscores2spaces – replaces all underscores by spaces (“C__foo_bar.baz _Item_” -> “C  foo bar.baz  Item “)
  • trim – replaces all spaces, line breaks & tabs from the beginning and the end of a text (“C  foo bar.baz  Item ” -> “C  foo bar.baz  Item”)
  • collapsewhitespace – replaces sequent spaces, line breaks & tabs each by a single space (“C  foo bar.baz  Item”  -> “C foo bar.baz Item”)
  • collapseunderscores – replaces sequent underscores each by one single underscore
  • whitespace2underscores -replaces all spaces, line breaks & tabs by underscores (“C foo bar.baz Item”    -> “C_foo_bar.baz_Item”   )
  • lowerCamelCase – transforms text separated by underscores to lowerCamelCase, s. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binnenmajuskel (“c_foo_bar.baz_item”    -> “cFooBar.bazItem”)(“get_that_example_done” -> “getThatExampleDone”   )
  • UpperCamelCase – transforms text separated by underscores to  UpperCamelCase (“get_that_example_done” -> “GetThatExampleDone”   )
  • pluralize – converts a word to plural (“day” -> “days”, “article” -> “articles”, “category” -> “categories”),
  • singularize – converts a word to singular,
  • date – extracts the date from a datetime field (“2016-09-28 23:42:55” -> “2016-09-28”).

Examples:

  • %101|1.basename%.%s% – Title or (if empty) original filename without suffix plus new suffix,
  • %1.basename% (%3%-%13%).%s% – original filename without suffix plus id and version (in brackets) plus new suffix,
  • %-6.date%-%1.basename%.%s% – upload date plus original filename without suffix plus new suffix,
  • %101.safealphanumeric.underscores2spaces.trim.collapsewhitespace.whitespace2underscores.lower.UpperCamelCase|1.basename%.%s% – UpperCamelCase title or (if empty) original filename without suffix plus new suffix
