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.
EXIT VALUES
The following exit values are returned upon completion:
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.
4 Missing required parameter.
5 Specified parent AssetId does not exist.
