Assign workflow to media library

Lorenz Lammersdorf asked on October 24, 2017 13:18

Hi all,

is there a way to assign a workflow to media libraries? I try to run a workflow every time a file of a certain type is added to a media library.

Cheers Lorenz

Out of the box, workflow and media library files/folders do not work. You would have to create your own global handler or custom module for this.

Another option is to evaluate the file types and effort vs. return on building your own vs. placing the files in the content tree. I understand this is not the optimal place for them but if workflow already exists, it should at least be a consideration to review/evaluate.

I guess you'll have to use code and create a global object event handler

Object type is probably the MediaFileInfo
