Whats the correct workflow to import files from local upload folder?

[Jochen Stärk]

Hi,

I have a resourcespace 7.6 and as documented in http://wiki.resourcespace.org/index.php/Managing_Resources#Batch_Upload_via_Local_Folder I added a $local_ftp_upload_folder to my config. My problem is that, well, nothing happens, no matters if there are files or not, or which file system privileges are assigned.

According to 

http://www.pengzhang.ca/blog/2010/04/05/resourcespace-using-fetch-from-local-upload-folder/ 

in a “Team Center” there should be “Manage Resources”, and then “Add Resource Batch – Fetch from Local Upload Folder”.

To start, there is no team center,  despite http://www.resourcespace.org/version-history in 7.6.7683 this "has been moved to the right".

First question: how can I find the "team centre" or is it just the Admin link which links to team_home.php?

According to Peng's Blog there i should then be looking for a "Add Resource Batch – Fetch from Local Upload Folder". 

I grepped the source code and pages/team/team_batch_upload.php and pages/team/team_batch_select.php the source code.

The first shows an alert "Please select one or more files to upload", does not show any files in the background and navigates back in the history as soon as I confirm the alert, the latter fails with the message FTP connection failed.

The source code seemed to suggest that some $use_local might be used and after insuccessfully setting it in the config, by sheer luck I tried it as URL parameter and

http://<mydomain>/pages/team/team_batch_select.php?use_local=true indeed presents me with the list of files to import. Unfortunately, when I click upload it shows me a confirmation page but I don't know where the files go (they actually might go to recently added but I'm not sure if that's true).

Again, source code indicates that edit.php, i.e. the "Upload" link, might redirect to this page if it had a parameter (? if (getval("save","")!="")) save.

But on that page I don't see any option to select the source be local, i.e. everytime the second step takes me to a uploader=plupload page where I can't click "start upload" without adding any - and only - local files.

What's the correct workflow to import files uploaded to $local_ftp_upload_folder ?

thanks and kind regards,

Jochen

You're correct...Team Center is now Admin.

You also need to enabled fetch_from_local_folder as an upload option within your configuration file (add "'fetch_from_local_folder' => true" to the $upload_methods array). I think this may be the step that's missing, as local folder uploading is turned off by default.
