Choose Import Location at Runtime for Saved Import Definition
Another question Richard I'm afraid :)
Is it possible to choose the location at runtime where imported nodes are imported to? For example, we have an import definition saved for the correct file type and mapping but the import location is different each time. Currently it is not possible for end users to use the exposed dashboard control for this because the import location is different each time.
Is the only option to add an extra field to each document and write a handler to move the nodes after import?
This is not supproted out of the box mostly because customers will only import data for updates on the same location. But as discussed on Skype I've created a different dashboard control that allows you to select a location.
Below the full source code of the package so you can tweak it when needed. Copy the ascx file to the usercontrols location and configure that one in dashboards.config. Then copy the dll to the bin folder and all should be good.
