Re: Bulk filetype change

I, too, have this problem, and would be willing to help with any modifications. It seems like a huge missing feature. I, like you, have 500+ articles that I need to define as custom filetypes.

Re: filetype change

Here's an idea that might work:

Import all your files to the cms (will be plain text filetype)
Export all of the files using the database export tool (exports everything as a zip file that contains the files themselves and one file called manifest.xml)
The manifest.xml file contains an entry for each file, including a definition of the filetype. Change this value to your new filetype (simple to do with search and replace, one step)
Zip everything up again and import using the database administration tool

I haven't tried this but it is crazy enough that it just might work.

Re: filetype change

Nope, the above doesn't work. Now that I have imported 600 files into OCMS and changed the filetype of each one by hand I realize that I need to change the file extension of each one of them from .xml to .html in order for them to be parsed properly by a browser when using the singlefile contentload parameter. Ugh.

These are deal breakers for OCMS implementation that are not obvious when reviewing the application. I would recommend to others not to use OCMS but to stick with a RDB model CMS until these types of (very large) problems are worked out.

Re: change type of several files at once

Lastly, We have set up the actual opencmsvfs within over shadow.
These days We have observed the issue, We have published an incorrect route within the wordpress plugin settings in order to WEB-INF document.
Remorseful whatsoever with regard to the beginner error.
