To upload all assets within a folder, you can zip the folder up and then use the Bulk Import option under the Create menu.

Alas, not presently in the GUI. This is available from the API only until our 2.1 release.

Ohh i see, well, where i can found documentation about dinamyc combo boxes, i mean i need to load some especific metadata accordingly with the selected option, i mean i'm filling out description and author and then i need to chose one option of a combobox and then if i chose option1 then i will show fields like name and address and if i chose option2 i will show fields like country and city but not name and adress.

Thanks guys,

I have tried to find that option but it is not existant in my 2.0C Alfresco at least. Any more guidelines of how to do bulk upload using the Web Client?

our company has document titles like "200-0001" and description of "How to create a simulation model". I want to have the english-style name in the description, so people at least know what the document is before opening it.

I tried to hack a SQL script that would update the description record in the MySQL database:

update alf_node_properties set string_value='How to create a simulation model' where qname='{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}description' and node_id=1870;
‍‍

and the way I got 1870 is

select distinct max(node_id), string_value from alf_node_properties
where string_value like '200-0001.htm'
‍‍‍

this will only work if you have one document with that title on your cms. In my case I was screwed because previous deleted files don't disappear from the DB on their own.

some DBAs would ask "why can't you nest the select query within the update". IT turns out that MySQL has a limitation preventing update queries that have correlated tables. This is a royal pain, and I had to tediously match up the node ids with the titles of each document.

Still I have no solution for metadata within Alfresco.
