Quick way to upload multiple files...?

[milesparker]

Is there any way to suck-up an entire directory structure into nukes persistance? Seems like it would be an useful hack if not.

[julien1]

do you want to do it ? I can help you if you need.

Yea, I can take an honest look...no promises due to the fact that my toast is not butterred on the J2EE side of things..a) provided that others think this would be useful, and b) someone answers my question in the other active thread. :-D Seriously, would be a good way for me to figure out how the module setup works, but I do have a _lot_ to learn on the integration w/ Nukes side.

What I have in mind is a simple synchronization where someone can take a directory strucutre (I'm thinking this would have to be on the host) and place all of the the files into the managehtml structure.

And...go Kerry/Edwards!

btw, as a follow on we could allow people to upload a zipped directory strucutre...

[julien1]

yes this is the idea

hey, if you're going to ask for the world, why not just throw in WebDAV integration while you're at it? I've seen implimentations of it running on top of Tomcat, but never integrated with an existing user structure like Nukes; at least not outside of the high-end commercial sector.

[julien1]

at least the zip import/export would be a good start

[milesparker]

OK, my prelim plan is to try to modify managehtml to accept zip archives for upload.

[milesparker]

I'm almost finsished. Only significant issue I'm coming across is trying to get mime content type from the zip entries. Any ideas? How do I get commit privleges for this. Would you want me to put it right into the main source tree?

[milesparker]

All done -- just let me know what I need to do to commit.
