Hi, melttech.

The code you posted works correctly. However, I need to upload a file on a specific subdirectory.

How to do this using RESTful and passing the uuid destination?

ps. Sorry for my english!

grateful!

Hi,

Anyway, I could understand what I was doing wrong!

The parameter "siteid" deletes the parameter "destination".

I was trying to use both, so it was not working. It was just remove the "siteid" that the parameter "destination" started to function as it should.


Part[] parts = {
   new FilePart("filedata", filename, file, filetype, null),
   new StringPart("filename", filename),
   new StringPart("description", "description"),
   // new StringPart("siteid", "yoursite"),
   // new StringPart("containerid", "documentLibrary"),
        new StringPart("destination", "workspace://SpacesStore/7118e242-86b1-489a-ac2e-193364ccf6e4"),
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thank you for everything!

Hello,

everytime I upload a file using REST API, my file receives the name of the file that is beeing uploaded but not the name I specified in my json string.


$json = array
    (
       "filename"       => 'TEST.PDF',
       "destination"    => 'workspace://SpacesStore/'.$parentID,
       "filedata"      => $pdf
    );
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

What do I have to change, that my file will be named as the file name that I specify in my json string?

Thank you

Hi all,
this is my first post.
I'm trying to upload a pdf file to Alfresco and i have a problem.
I get this error: Destination [a path] not found.
I used this code:
Part[] parts = {
   new FilePart("filedata", filename, fileobj, filetype, null),
   new StringPart("filename", filename),
   new StringPart("description", description),
   new StringPart("destination", "workspace://Company Home/User Homes/Salesforce")
};

I know the error is in the destination since i wrote workspace://Company Home/User Homes/Salesforce.
I saw melttech instead wrote: workspace://SpacesStore/65a06f8c-0b35-4dae-9835-e38414a99bc1
Quite different, i imagine each folder inside a workspace has a ID such as 65a06f8c-0b35-4dae-9835-e38414a99bc1.
So my question is, if i want to upload my file on the location /Company Home/User Homes/Salesforce, how can i specify the destination?
Thank you and sorry for my english!

I know this is a few months old now, but I'm hoping someone knows the answer. I have pretty much plagiarized this code and put it into practice. But one thing I can't figure out is how, if I'm uploading a file with the same name as one which already exists, it can be made to overwrite the old file, increasing its version number. I thought that it might be the "overwrite" property (which I implemented by adding the line:

new StringPart("overwrite","true")‍

but this didn't work. What happens instead is another file is created with a "-1" or "-2" suffix to the file name.

Does the property which would cause the file to be overwritten exist?

Thanks,

Steve

Re: Uploading file to alfresco repository using AlfrescoRest API

romschn — Sat, 03 May 2014 00:07:25 GMT

While uploading a file, the webscript first checks if there is file with the same name in the destination folder or not. If it is present and it has cm:versionable aspect applied and if you have provided input parameter overwrite as true to the webscript, it will overwrite the content of existing file with the newly uploaded one. Hence, overwrite attribute only works in case there is an existing file already available with the same name having cm:versionable aspect applied on it. Otherwise generally it will append the counters like 1,2 etc on the filename which already exists as you are currently getting it.

Hope this helps.

1.Using the Node Browser to get the node reference of companyhome ,you can refer to below url on how to use Node Browser
http://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Ftasks%2Fadminconsole-nodebrowser.html
2. Pass company home refernce to destination parameter(the folder NodeRef where the node will be created)
3.Pass "User Homes/Salesforce" to uploaddirectory parameter(name of the folder in the destination where the document will be uploaded).
Following is sample code.


         Part[] parts = {
               new FilePart("filedata", filename, fileobj, filetype, null),
               new StringPart("filename", filename),
               new StringPart("description", description),
               
               new StringPart("destination", "workspace://SpacesStore/ce55a850-b1c7-43c7-a600-b5c58a985429"),
               new StringPart("uploaddirectory", "/TESTFOLDER1")
};

How can i get noderef of company home by in javascript without hardcoding

Re: Uploading file to alfresco repository using AlfrescoRest API

kaynezhang — Tue, 16 Sep 2014 09:00:50 GMT

companyhome itself is a root object,you can use it directly ,why do you want it to be softcoding ?
If you don't want to use it directly ,you can write a javascript funtcion and in the function use javascript search api to search "company home" node,then return companyhome object
