cmdmfuuploadall Command
Automatic Upload
The mediaautoreceive.asp and edit.asp files are installed to eWebEditPro
path/samples/asp/database.
The cmdmfuuploadall command lets the user manually perform the upload
process. The command displays the Files Waiting for Upload dialog box, which
prompts the user to upload files.
This command is not on a standard toolbar in the default configuration, but can be
added to a toolbar when customization is enabled.
See Also: ”Adding a Toolbar Button” on page 173
The Automatic Upload feature also uses the transport element (see ”Transport
Element” on page 434) and the AutomaticUpload Object (see ”Automatic Upload
Object” on page 499).
Overview of the Automatic Upload Process
The Upload Process
When content containing files and links to files is copied from an application (such
as MS Word) to the editor, the user may want to upload the files and update the
paths before saving the content. The Automatic Upload mechanism provides this
capability.
If the client knows the correct server page and the server contains that page, the
user needs to know nothing about the upload process, except maybe his or her
login. The upload happens automatically.
Automatic Upload allows an application, such as Ektron eWebEditPro or
CMS300, to easily upload files to the server. The process starts on the client side
application.
1. One of these events initiates the upload process:
• The user saves the editor content
• The cmdmfuuploadall command is available as a toolbar button, and the user
presses the button
See Also: ”cmdmfuuploadall Command” on page 460
2. The content is scanned, and files that meet these criteria are given to the
eWepMediaTransfer module for uploading.
• The file is specified in the body
• The file path uses an href or src attribute
• The file exists on the local system
