Hi there, can anyone let me know any easy way of puloading large amounts of media files pdf,doc etc into matrix?
want to do some tests and want to add about 50+ pdf files…
If someone could run me through this that would be great. I have had a look on the wiki and could not find anything.
Take a look at the mysource_matrix/scripts/import/import_files.php script. It can mass import binary files like PDFs and Images.
So if I am uploading to media folder, underneath a virtual folder I need to find the asset ID of the folder? and create directory structure accordingly?

Exactly right. Create a folder named with the asset ID of the parent, and place the files to be uploaded into that folder. Then set the parent of the assetid-named folder as the source of the import.
In this way, you can mass upload files to multiple parents in a single script run.
Yep got that, and got it all working… How does the content import script work? is there support in the CSV file to include standard page content? or just creating the content structure?
Just structure. We are working on a more advanced import/export system that will do content as well, but that's still in internal testing (in fact, the export part doesn't even exist yet).
