We are currently talking about creating a new area on our Intranet site. This are will be initialy loaded with about 1700 documents which will all need to have a Friendly name set. We are going to use the import files script to load this into MySource. Is it possible to change this script so that it will set the Friendly name for the asset on import. So use the document name and replace the underscores with spaces and remove the file type (.pdf) from the end? It would save us a lot of time if this was possible.
You could certainly request this development to be done on a Support Pack. This kind of development is best funded, as you're ensured of getting it done sooner.
Alternatively, you could post it as a feature request on the bug tracker, but that doesn't guarantee a timeframe for the development.
Would you need to have a good knowledge of php and Mysource to do?
Yes.
Shame. Although i'm a developer i have no experience in PHP but this sounds like a task i would like to have a go at.
You'd need to have a good knowledge of PHP. The MySource knowledge would come from that.
