Bulk Import

Hi Gabor

Could you please share the code you developed so far and I will do the remaining work (inserting data into assets table....) ? After that, I will post it here !

Tuan

Hi Tuan,

thanks for the fast response and for your help.

I attached a file which is in the model directory. I have the file logic and the DB insert here.
I have a vew on the front-end so when sy goes there the sync happens. Lot of stuff is hardcoded.

I tried to insert directly one record into the assets table.

It is not working because of the left right calculation I guess.

Thanks,

Gabor

Hi Tuan,

the model is enough for you or you need the whole component?

Thanks,

Gabor

Hi Gabor

Please send me the whole component. Also, it seems you forgot to attach the file (maybe you need to zip the file first before uploading). I will have time to look at it today !

Tuan

Hi Tuan,

I attached the component. To make it work.

You can setup a menu item for it and setup a folder / category in edocman (to sync (add) the files in the folder if they are not exists in edocman).

If you go to that menu item it will check the folder. If the file is already exists (based on the filename) it does not do anything
but if the file not exist the component add the file to the __edocman_documents and __edocman_document_category table.

I was not able to add the item to the __assets table with the same method.

Please let me know what you think.


Thanks,

Gabor

Hi Gabor

Thanks so much for sharing the code. To be honest, I was not able to re-use your code, so I coded it from scratch and add it to default component .

Please check your email to get the modified version of the extension, install it to your site. After that, please login to back-end of your site, access to EDocman -> Bulk Import and you will see the form which allow you to import documents from a folder into a category .

Please note that at this state, it import all documents (It doesn't check whether the file existed or not). With your coding skill, I believe you can modify it so that it only imports none-existing files . Right now, I don't have enough time to do that improvement, so I will do that at this weekend !

Hope this help !

Hi Tuan,

Thank you very much for your work. I tried it and it is working (but if I go under configuration there are some Notice: ).

Is that possible to add this bulk import part to the front end? like crete a menu item type to show this to registered users so they can do a synchronization?

Thanks again,

Gabor

Hi Guys,

Has the bulk uploader been included in the latest release?
I really need this for a new project with more than 80 documents to upload and is just what I have been waiting for.

Thanks,

Hello,
Looking for a replacement of Docman and auto populate feature, seems on the right way to get a new subscription soon
