sf11 Can I display CRM Content work space and files on a site page ?
I would like to make content workspace files available on a force.com site page ( for un-authenticated user). Is this possible ?
If the answer is yes, then where and how do I set content workspace permission for un-authenticated user. In the workspace permission menu, I do not see an option to include unauthenticated user for view permission.
I do not want to use cutomer portal or partner portal for this purpose. Thanks !
Crazy... I found the issue :D
it was my mistake..
There are two objects, one is contentversion and another is contentdocument.
I was giving the id of contentdocument (in place of <contentversionid>) in the below url.. when i changed it to contentversion id it downloaded the document from the sites (authenticated through partner portal)
http://<siteurl>/<siteprefix>/sfc/servlet.shepherd/version/download/<ContentVersionId>?asPdf=false&
Thanks everyone.

there's no native way to display Content in Visualforce, let alone security to allow it to be exposed via Sites. sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Yikes !
The only way that we've found to make any content available is to create a content delivery and put the delivery URL in a link on the site page. Its a somewhat clunky and time consuming process I'm afraid.
Actually I found out a way to expose content files on a site page for unauthenticated user after starting this thread. Not a very clean approach but does the job.
Here are the steps
1- Create a VF page to query and display content version table records
2- Creat a public group and add guest site user to the public group
3- Add view permission for this public group for the content workspace
4- Expose the VF page in step #1 on a site page.
5- The displayed list of files on site page will have a field for content delivery URL. User clicks this URL to view the file.
The process to add content delivery link to each published doc is a manual process. Yet to figure out how to automate this.
Yeah, the automation of content deliveries is something that' we also battled for some time. Content doesn't seem to be fully integrated with the rest of the system - it had some improvements around a year ago, but it seems like the focus shifted away from it after that.
See if this helps any...
Take a look at this thread and, in particular, look at the reply from Bulent marked as the "solution".
