Implemented Interfaces

GDataDocumentsEntry implements GDataAccessHandler.

Includes

#include <gdata/services/documents/gdata-documents-entry.h>

Description

GDataDocumentsEntry is a subclass of GDataEntry to represent a Google Documents entry, which is then further subclassed to give specific document types.

GDataDocumentsEntry implements GDataAccessHandler, meaning the access rules to it can be modified using that interface. As well as the access roles defined for the base GDataAccessRule (e.g. GDATA_ACCESS_ROLE_NONE), GDataDocumentsEntry has its own, such as GDATA_DOCUMENTS_ACCESS_ROLE_OWNER and GDATA_DOCUMENTS_ACCESS_ROLE_READER.

Documents can (confusingly) be referenced by three different types of IDs: their entry ID, their resource ID and their document ID (untyped resource ID). Each is a substring of the previous ones (i.e. the entry ID contains the resource ID, which in turn contains the document ID). The resource ID and document ID should almost always be considered as internal, and thus entry IDs (“id”) should normally be used to uniquely identify documents. For more information, see “resource-id”.

For more details of Google Documents' GData API, see the

online documentation.

Functions

gdata_documents_entry_get_path ()

gchar *
gdata_documents_entry_get_path (GDataDocumentsEntry *self);

Builds a path for the GDataDocumentsEntry, starting from a root node and traversing the folders containing the document, then ending with the document's ID.

An example path would be: /folder_id1/folder_id2/document_id.

Note: the path is based on the entry/document IDs of the folders (“id”) and document (“document-id”), and not the entries' human-readable names (“title”).

Parameters

Returns

the folder hierarchy path containing the document, or NULL; free with g_free()

Property Details

The “document-id” property

  “document-id”              gchar *

The document ID of the document, which is different from its entry ID (GDataEntry:id). The

online GData Documentation refers to these as “untyped resource IDs”.

GDataDocumentsEntry:document-id has been deprecated since version 0.11.0 and should not be used in newly-written code.

This a substring of the “resource-id”, which is more general and should be used instead.

Flags: Read

Default value: NULL

Since 0.4.0


The “edited” property

  “edited”                   gint64

The last time the document was edited. If the document has not been edited yet, the content indicates the time it was created.

GDataDocumentsEntry:edited has been deprecated since version 0.17.0 and should not be used in newly-written code.

This is identical to “updated”.

Flags: Read

Allowed values: >= -1

Default value: -1

Since 0.4.0


The “is-deleted” property

  “is-deleted”               gboolean

Indicates whether the document entry has been deleted (moved to the trash). Deleted documents will only appear in query results if the “show-deleted” property is TRUE.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE

Since 0.5.0


The “last-modified-by” property

  “last-modified-by”         GDataAuthor *

Indicates the author of the last modification.

Flags: Read

Since 0.4.0


The “last-viewed” property

  “last-viewed”              gint64

The last time the document was viewed.

Flags: Read

Allowed values: >= -1

Default value: -1

Since 0.4.0


The “quota-used” property

  “quota-used”               gint64

The amount of user quota the document is occupying. Currently, only arbitrary files consume file space quota (whereas standard document formats, such as GDataDocumentsText, GDataDocumentsSpreadsheet and GDataDocumentsFolder don't). Measured in bytes.

This property will be 0 for documents which aren't consuming any quota.

Flags: Read

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 0

Since 0.13.0


The “resource-id” property

  “resource-id”              gchar *

The resource ID of the document. This should not normally need to be used in client code, and is mostly for internal use. To uniquely identify a given document or folder, use its “id”.

Resource IDs have the form: document|drawing|pdf|spreadsheet|presentation|folder:untyped resource ID; whereas entry IDs have the form: https://docs.google.com/feeds/id/resource ID in version 3 of the API.

For more information, see the

Google Documents API reference.

Flags: Read

Default value: NULL

Since 0.11.0


The “writers-can-invite” property
