Open Viewer on a public file in a public page

[julien-nc]

Hey!

First of all: It's great to be able to open the viewer for pictures in a public folder page in NC 19. Yay! Thanks a lot.

I'm already using Viewer in standalone mode to display user's pictures in GpxPod. I provide the absolute path and it works great. My problem is I can't find a way to make it happen in GpxPod public pages.

Public pages in GpxPod are using the folder sharing system. They are accessed with the share token as a GET parameter. The page knows the token, the picture files paths (relative to the shared folder path), the file IDs etc...

Is it possible to just call Viewer.open(something); to see a picture? I checked out Viewer sources and it seems the difference is made between public and private pages. Anyway, each time I call Viewer.open() with a relative path or whatever I get prompted for HTTP authentication.

I can generate a valid URL to filesharing/public_preview but it seems useless here.

Any advice?

This is a big limitation indeed.
I also faced this stupid issue and hope to find another way for it. See nextcloud/server#19700 & nextcloud/server#20132
