Hi,
Is there an easy way to do this? I'd like to generate a list of particular kinds of assets at a given root node, with the name, URI, created date, last edited date, and asset type. I want to suck these into Excel, so I'd like them to be HTML tables, XML, or a CSV.
I could do this with asset lists arranged in tables, and in fact that's what I'm doing at the moment, but the number of assets I want to have in this whole thing is enormous and the list cannot finish generating before the 30 second execution limit. So I've split it into pages of fifty items each, so now it's 40 pages long. For each page, I have to do a web query in Excel to get the data in.
It's pretty time consuming and I'm only going to have to make more of these, so if anyone has any brilliant ideas short of turning the PHP maximum execution time into ten minutes I'm hell keen to hear it!
An asset listing is the only way to do this with custom dev. If you are generating a really long list, 3.8 should do this much faster for you, but with that many assets, its always going to take a while.
