JavaScript to move content to a folder

davix

Hi,

I've written JavaScript to move content to a folder like this.

var activeFolder = companyhome.childByNamePath("Content_Expiry");
var archivedFolder = companyhome.childByNamePath("Content_Expiry/ExpiredContent");
if(activeFolder != null)
{
var i=0;
activeChildren = activeFolder.children;
activeTotal = activeChildren.length;
for(i=0; i<activeTotal;i++)
{
child = activeChildren[i];
child.move(archivedFolder);
}
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I have a project called Content_Expiry under Web Projects. And I'm trying to move the content to a folder called ExpiredContent in the same project. However the above JavaScript doesn't work. Am I giving the paths wrong here –> companyhome.childByNamePath("Content_Expiry");

Please let me know, thanks!

It sounds like you are moving nodes that reside in a Web Project, which means you are working with the AVM store. I don't think you can get to an AVM node using companyhome's childByNamePath function (I could be wrong).

Have you taken a look at the AVM JavaScript API and the avm.lookupNode(path) function? Here's the wiki page with the doc:

Thanks Jeff, I've looked up what you suggested.

So what I did was –

var fullcurrentpath = "/www/avm_webapps/ROOT/Folder1";
var fullarchivepath = "/www/avm_webapps/ROOT/Folder2";
var stores = avm.stores;
var currentFolder = avm.lookupNode(stores[3].id + ":" + fullcurrentpath);
var archivedFolder = avm.lookupNode(stores[3].id +&nbsp; ":" + fullarchivepath);
if(currentFolder != null)
{
var i=0;
activeChildren = currentFolder.children;
activeTotal = activeChildren.length;
for(i=0; i<activeTotal;i++)
{
child = activeChildren[i];
child.move(archivedFolder);
}
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This works!

Hi,

I have one additional requirement. The JS that I wrote moves all the content in the folder. Suppose there are sub folders like Folder1, Folder2, Folder3, etc and I don't want to move say Folder1. I tried as show below, but it doesn't work.

var currentFolder = avm.lookupNode("ContentExpiry–admin:/www/avm_webapps/ROOT");
var archivedFolder = avm.lookupNode("ExpiredContent–admin:/www/avm_webapps/ROOT/Folder1");
if(currentFolder != null)
{
var i=0;
activeChildren = currentFolder.children;
activeTotal = activeChildren.length;
for(i=0; i<activeTotal;i++)
{
child = activeChildren[i];
if(child != 'Folder1')
{
child.move(archivedFolder);
}
}
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Is this part wrong? – >if(child != 'Folder1'), please let me know, thanks!

i think if you wanna check for the name "Folder1" you should work with that:


// …

child = activeChildren[i];
childName = child.name;
if(childName != 'Folder1')
{
child.move(archivedFolder);
}

// …
