DESCRIPTION

This WebGUI utility script imports files into WebGUI's Asset Manager attached to a specified parent Asset, helping bulk uploads of content.

This utility is designed to be run as a superuser on Linux systems, since it needs to be able to put files into WebGUI's data directories and change ownership of files. If you want to run this utility without superuser privileges, use the --override option described below.

--configFile config.conf

The WebGUI config file to use. Only the file name needs to be specified, since it will be looked up inside WebGUI's configuration directory. This parameter is required.

--pathToFiles path

Path to a folder containing the files to import. This parameter is required.

--parentAssetId id

Attach the imported files to the Asset id in WebGUI's Asset Manager. This parameter is required.

--groupToEdit id

Make members of WebGUI's group identified by id be able to edit the uploaded files. If left unspecified, it defaults to Group ID 4, (Content Managers).

--groupToView id

Make members of WebGUI's group identified by id be able to view the uploaded files. If left unspecified, it defaults to Group ID 7, (Everybody).

--owner id

Make WebGUI's user identified by id own the uploaded files. If left unspecified, it defaults to User ID 3 (Admin).

--webUser username

The system user that your web server runs as. If left unspecified it will default to www-data.

--override

This flag will allow you to run this utility without being the super user, but note that it may not work as intended.

--skipOlderThan interval

Skip files older than interval seconds. If left unspecified, it will default to skip no files.

--findByExt patterns

Import only those files with matching file extensions. patterns is a list of comma-separated extensions to match. If left unspecified, it will default to import all files.

--recursive

Import files recursively. If left unspecified, only files in the folder will be imported, without following subfolders.

--overwrite

Overwrite any matching file URL with the new file rather than creating a new Asset for the file. Instantiate the existing asset and replace the file.

--ignoreExtInName

Do not include the filename extension in the Title and menuTitle database fields.

--quiet

Disable all output unless there's an error.

--help

Shows this documentation, then exits.

  0  Successful execution.
  1  Stop the script if not super user.
  2  A folder can't be opened for reading.
  3  Two files had the same name and were selected to be imported
     during recursive mode.
