We have seevral files that are sent via FTP to our servers. Is there a way to set up automatic imports of files from a folder in DMX? I know we acn use the Admin->Options ->Import feature to import the documents manually, but is there a way to schedule this to run automatically? Thanks, Chhavi

Hi Chhavi, You'd need to code it yourself, but it need not be overly complex. There is an Import method that you'll find quite easily if you trace the code from the Import page. Use that. Keep in mind that this code imports everything. If you need to 'merge' it will require more coding on your behalf. Good luck, Peter

Hi Peter, Thanks for your response. When you say 'merge' do you mean automatically adding new versions of the same file? Are there APIs to do this in DMX 4? Thanks, Chhavi

Hi Chhavi, In DMX 4 there is EntriesController.SimplifiedReplace where you specify an entry and the file to create a new version with. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
