Member	gooera-gmail - 9/20/2010 2:30:07 AM check for media library file Hi Guys, I have a simple requirement to check whether a physical file (media library file) exists in its folder or not. The metadata could still exist in media library, but someone might has deleted it manually. So I need to check it before doing modification on it. Is there any media library API to do it? thanks.

RE:check for media library file

Hi,

We have prepared an extension tool to be put into Tools / Media Libraries and Tools / Groups / <editgroup> / Media libraries
It adds another tab - "Maintenance" to the page for managing media library (and its files). It works with version 5.5.

Please find following zip file:
Download: MediaLibraryMaintenance_5_5.zip

Copy its content to the web project directory. Then, in the user interface in CMS Desk -> Tools -> Media library, in each media library, you can visit the new tab - Maintenance - and here you can fix the inconsistency between file system and DB, if any files are listed as not having physical files.

Enjoy.

Regards,
Zdenek
