I want to upload a new PDF to replace the content in an existing asset. I would like to find a way to do this preferably using the JS API, or some other way so that I can programmatically update hundreds of files in a batch operation.
Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. Will setContentOfEditableFileAsset do this?
That function will only work for file assets that have an edit contents screen (text file and javascript file). To actually upload a file you will need to either use the SOAP API and the file retrieval service (which basically means you need a base 64 encoded string of the file content), or using the JS API you would need to be able to post a file upload to it's _edit url (We have code to deal with this in Easy Edit - /Libs/EasyEditFileUpload.js). The JS method isn't ideal, but it gets the job done.
Awesome, thanks. I'll have a look at both and see what I can come up with.
