Validation method¶

1. Required Fields

Convert method¶

Only convert the documents where the type is 'file'. The directories are created when publishing according to the old path of the document.
1 Determine the new path of the document: /files/repository/$new_user_id/$x/

• $new_user_id is the owner of the document
• $x is the first char of the md5 hash of the filename

2 Migrate the file.
3 Create a document content object and set the needed properties
4 Now for the publication:

• If needed create a publication category for every subdirectory the file originally resided. The old document structure is emulated in the publication categories.
• Publish the document content object.

Issues/Problems/Suggestions¶

• Double files => must be same document instead of new document creation
