How to trigger Sideload? #6

Closed ralphotowo closed 6 years ago

ralphotowo commented 7 years ago

Hi, I've setup this module on an Omeka-S instance and setup the directory and access rights to the www-data (user Omeka is being run as). After uploading a sample PDF to the configured uploads directory, it's not being added as an item. Is there a way to trigger the sideload, perhaps via a cron job or similar?

I found it in the $omeka-s/admin/item/add#item-media directory, I was hoping this will allow bulk import of thousands of media (PDFs). Is this possible, or planned?

CSVImport might work directly, if you can put the files into a web-accessible location. It also integrates with FileSideload, so you can use it that way, too. You'd just need to set up the CSV file with metadata and the filenames.
