Add

Slot Description
contentFileAdd This function adds a new content file
FileSystem:
Input parameters
Key Type Description
folderId Integer ID of the parent folder
name String File name (also used to determine the MimeType)
description String (optional) Description of the file
securitySchemeID String ‘public’: file is public, ‘private’: file is not public
permissionObjectType String Must be specified as ‘Session’
permissionObjectID String The ID of the Object Type can be freely selected
data String (optional) Base64 encoded content of the file
uploadSession String (optional) Session of an AppServer Html5 Upload
copyFrom Integer (optional) ID of the copied file

Note:

The content of the file can be transferred in three different ways. Exactly one of the following parameters must be passed:

  • data: The content is passed directly with the JSON request as a Base64 encoded byte array.
  • uploadSession: The content is first transferred to the AppServer via chunked HTML5 upload and the returned session is used as source. The Content Repository plugin downloads the file from the app server and uses it as content of the file
  • copyFrom: The content is copied from another existing content file (copyFrom contains the ID of the file to be copied). Attention: The calling user must have the appropriate permissions to read the content file. Only the content is copied, not other properties (such as names, access rights, etc.). Any content file can be used as a source file, even in a different repository.
