EDocman Auto Import Plugin

Dear customers

From version 1.7.0, we introduce a new plugin called EDocman Auto Import. If you publish this plugin, it will monitor the folder where you store EDocman Documents (the folder which you configure in Documents Path config option of EDocman) and when you upload documents to that folder (and sub-folders), for example via FTP, it will auto import these documents and make it available in the system

It is a very useful feature and will save you much time if you often have to add documents to EDocman. Instead running Bulk Import, you just upload the documents via FTP and the plugin will import it for you.

This feature works good if you use Herachical folder structure of EDocman. With this feature turned on, documents of each category will be stored in one folder. When you want to add documents to a category, simply upload these documents to the folder of that category and this plugin will scan that folder, detect the category of the documents and add these documents into the system

For example, if you have a system setup as below :

Joomla (documents of this category will be stored in EDOCMAN_ROOT/joomla)
===>Components (documents of this category will be stored in EDOCMAN_ROOT/joomla/components)
===>Modules(documents of this category will be stored in EDOCMAN_ROOT/joomla/modules)
===>Templates(documents of this category will be stored in EDOCMAN_ROOT/joomla/templates)

If you publish EDocman Auto Import Plugin and :

- Upload files to EDOCMAN_ROOT/joomla, the plugin will know that these files belong to category Joomla (based on the path of the file), so it will create a new document in EDocman for each file and assign these documents to Joomla category
- Upload files to EDOCMAN_ROOT/joomla/modules, the plugin will know that these files belong to category Modules(based on the path of the file), so it will create a new document in EDocman for each file and assign these documents to Modulescategory

and so on....

Hope the example above help you understand how the plugin works and how you can use it.

If you have any questions about this feature, please don't hesitate to ask !

Tuan
