Will, I can maybe access my content through webdav. If you have any code, I am interesting.

And what kind of meta data are you talking about? We've build an import mechanism which fetched files from a WebDAV server. Each file had additional info (title, description) stored in the WebDAV repository which had to be imported too. So for importing from a WebDAV repo I think we might be able to help you. -will On 24.09.2009, at 15:27, Benoit Segaert wrote: > > I am also very interesting with the import. > I have to upload a lot of documents with multiple metadata into > Magnolia. > Then the zip import is not an option because no metadata will be > imported. > > Benoît > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:user-list- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Jan Haderka > Sent: mercredi 23 septembre 2009 10:56 > To: Magnolia User-List > Subject: Re: [magnolia-user] Importing static content > > > >> What are the options for bulk importing data into the DMS while at >> the >> same time adding the necessary references to the original data nodes? > > To do the bulk import, you can zip the images and upload the zipfile. > Magnolia will extract the resources from the zip and also recreate the > folder structure that is in the zip file. > >> Since this process takes a while (about 30 minutes) and still needs >> fine tuning, I would much rather be able to do this through a >> stand-alone process (ant task at present).
