Javascript to copy a file into new dir (trigger by rule)

gmce

Hi everyone, i need to create a javascript that copy a file from Data Dictionary/Models into a new folder.
I've already setup the rule to take action when a new folder is created but i have no idea how to make this javascript.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
first of all you should install the javascript console addon (http://code.google.com/p/share-extras/wiki/JavascriptConsole), it's a very helpful tool for such tasks.

your script should look like this (untested):

//get the node to copy
var nodeToCopy = getNodeToCopy();
//space is your current space if the JS is triggered via a rule
var yourNewNode = nodeToCopy.copy(space);

function getNodeToCopy(){
   //return your node to copy…perhaps you'll have to make a path search here…depends on your requirements 
   return utils.getNodeFromString("workspace://SpacesStore/<your uid>")
}

Thank you very much Jan. It works perfectly, i only changed "space" with "document" because the rule take action when a new folder is created and i needed the file to be copied inside the new folder.

Thanks again.

BTW if someone is interested here the little script:

var Subfolder1 = document.childByNamePath("Subfolder1");
Subfolder1 = document.createFolder("Subfolder1");

var Subfolder2 = document.childByNamePath("Subfolder2");
Subfolder2 = document.createFolder("Subfolder2");

   // copy Excel model
var nodeToCopy = getNodeToCopy();
var exlmodel = nodeToCopy.copy(document);
  
function getNodeToCopy(){
   return utils.getNodeFromString("workspace://SpacesStore/98a44d8a-4803-4b5f-a7c7-55def12bfb76");
}

nathanm

does this code also copy the comments attached in the document??
if not how does we copy a file with all the comments attached to it to a new directory??

Thanks and regards,
