Publishing a File without Expiration

To publish a file without expiration, use the publishBody() method. The URL will remain valid and the file will be accessible forever.

  • // Assume that the KiiObject "object" has been instantiated.

// Publish the KiiObject.
object.publishBody().then(
  function(params) {
    var theObject = params[0];
    var publishedUrl = params[1];
    // Do something.
  }
).catch(
  function(error) {
    var theObject = error.target;
    var errorString = error.message;
    // Handle the error.
  }
);
  • // Assume that the KiiObject "object" has been instantiated.

// Publish the KiiObject.
object.publishBody({
  success: function(theObject, publishedUrl) {
    // Do something.
  },
  failure: function(theObject, errorString) {
    // Handle the error.
  }
});

The basic steps are as follows:

  1. Upload the file as an object body.
  2. Publish the file with the publishBody() method.

Note that a user needs to be permitted the KiiACLObjectActionRead action on a KiiObject to publish its object body (Once published, anyone can access the object body with the URL). See Setting a KiiObject's ACL for more information about the access rights.
