Javascript to move file into folder

[dbzmkl]

Hi All,

I have recently deployed alfresco(5.1.0 community edition) to manage our internal documents and it works great.

I would like to implement a hot folder where once a file is uploaded to the folder it is moved to a folder with the same title as the file.


What I mean is if I upload a file with a title KD/IT/SOP/1 it should be moved to folder with the title KD/IT/SOP

I have been researching and it seems doing a rule that calls javascript would be my best option. However, I'm pretty new to javascript and wouldn't know where to start. Any pointers would by highly appreciated.

<a href="http://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/references/API-JS-move.html">Here</a> is the doc on the "move" method.

In your folder rule you'll automatically get a variable named document. So if you can use other calls to get a handle to the folder node you want to move it to, you can call that move function.

Looks like you'll also want to create a new folder to place that document in. So you'll want to call createFolder on the parent to create the new folder before you call move on the document.

var strDestFolder ="sites/KD/IT/SOP/";
var objDestFolder = companyhome.childByNamePath(strDestFolder);
document.move(objDestFolder);

if the destination folder is not the same you may generate a path variable from eg the node (document) name. won´t work if the destination folder does not exist or you don´t have correct permissions (needing delete in the source path).
