I wish to upload a huge amount of files. I'm also wanting to give each file unique attributes such as a persons first and last name along with an ID number. Is it possible to do that on the upload or will I have to upload the files and then write some sort of stored procedure to apply those attributes to each file? I've been looking at the datatables and I'm not sure how I access the files or their locations and attributes. On a side note is there any log that keeps track of what users search for?

If you use bulk upload it should work. But I'm not sure if bulk upload is feasible when you're talking about a "huge amount" of files. If you really need to import vast amounts of data, I suggest you move them to the server's hard disk by ftp and use DMX's import. But then you don't have the ability to add attributes and you'd need to add them in SQL. That is not rocket science as the SQL is pretty straightforwards. Assuming you've added the custom attributes already they'll show up in DMX_Attributes. Then to set values you need the table DMX_EntryAttributes which ties a document (Entry) to the attribute with a particular value. Peter

By import you mean the whole Folder > New > File(s) option or are you talking about something else?

Import = Folder > Import. You must select something other than the folder "Document Exchange".

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.
