Great package. I am planning to purchase it for a project, soon.
Is it possible to import files which are related to img tags or a tags in content text? And is it possible to maintain subfolder structure for these files and recreate the structure inside the media archive in Umbraco?
Thanks. CMSImport Pro will pickup all images from the image tag if its used in the TinyMce editor and if the path is relative /images/example.gif. You need to have this images folder in the root of your Umbraco install.
CMSImport will respect the original folder structure. So if you have an image /images/folder1/folder2/example.gif. CmsImport will create the folder structure images/folder1/folder2 for you.
Cause i need to do a bit a coding in order to convert my img tag urls to the match the folder structure of the current cms is order for cmimport to map img tag correctly.
I have for ex. image src like this: /media(IMAGEID, LCID) or /media(IMAGEID, LCID)/FILENAME.EXT, these dosn´t illustrate the files folder relations. All images for the current solution are placed in one folder. But in the media archive of the cms, they can be placed in subfolders.
Info about their location is stored in the database.
Its a composite 3.8 solution, which is going to be converted to Umbraco.
So a solution could be, to get the image folder structure from a xml file (where the complete file and folder structure is illustrated), and replace the image src with a more meaningfull path. Something like /IMPORTEDMEDIA/DANISH/MAIN_FOLDER/SUB_FOLDER/FILENAME.EXT, so this can be created during the import process.
It doesn't come with the source code. But you can extend it realy easy using a FieldAdapter or an event handler . A FieldAdapter gets called when cmsimport does the mapping. So in your case you could write a FieldAdapter that reads the structure from the xml file and build the structure based on that. Or use an event handler that modifies the structure of you media after a record is imported.
This comes with support so if you get stuck you can email me and I will help you with your implementation.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Does the pro version come with source code?

Hi, I waiting for the customer. Is there somewhere i can see how to use a FieldAdapter together with your code?
