    Hi

    On your home page you state that WP Document Revisions is “equally at home in an in-house server room as it is in the cloud, moving individual files or entire document repositories in and out of WP Document Revisions is a breeze (history and all).”.

    I have a Dropbox repository of thousands of files that I wish to move into WP Document Revisions. Can you explain the most efficient mechanism for this please?

    Many thanks
    Mike.

  • I added an example of how you might do a bulk import (there’s a bit of coding there, but not much) to the Code Cookbook.

    Will take another look at the language if it’s unclear, but exporting should be a single automated process (WordPress native). Importing’s a bit more tricky because everyone’s starting place will be different, but hopefully the above linked script (which will pull all files from a directory) can point you in the right direction.

    Hi Ben

    Having looked a little deeper I think I’m right in saying there is no concept of directory structures within WP DR. The data in my Dropbox folders is dependent on directory structures, for example:

    Festival
    ¦- Finance
    ¦- Marketing
       ¦- Advertising
       ¦- Artwork
       ¦- Pics
          ¦- 2010 Festival
          ¦- 2011 Festival
            ¦- Hi-res
            ¦  ¦- *.jpg
            ¦
            ¦- Lo-res
               ¦- *.jpg
    etc etc

    Does WPDR have an equivalent mechanism that I could use to represent hierachical directories?

    Thanks again
    Mike.

    WP Document Revisions doesn’t use the traditional folder metaphor to organize files. Instead, the same document can be described multiple ways, or in folder terms, be in multiple folders at once. This gives you more control over your documents and how they are organized. You can add a folder taxonomy with the WP Document Revisions Custom Field Generator. Be sure to select the “Hierarchical (like categories)” option.

    OK, I understand that now.

    Thanks
    Mike.
