    Custom media type - how to bulk upload

    Hello,

    I got a project with about 2000 records in the media news section. I am trying to transfer this section to an Umbraco project. I have create a new media type more or less similar to image media type. The difference is that I have added a couple of new attributes to the type such as link, extra title etc.

    The question is if there is any project that can help me on that bulk upload. I've found many interesting solutions however there're only about uploading images under the media section, what about title of the media, extra link or any other attributes that may have.

    thanks
    Giorgos

    Hi Giorgos,

    Have you taken a look at the Multiple File Upload package?  You could develop 'custom media handlers' to import the other attributes that you need?

    Take a look at the PDF documentation that comes with the package.

    The alternative is Desktop Media Uploader - but like you say, I'm not sure it will handle the additional attributes for the media-types.

    Cheers, Lee.

    FYI: The MFU uses a fairly easy to understand factory method to differentiate between media types, it's pretty easy to extend.

    Sebastiaan I need to finish another part first so it will be after Monday.

    Another thing is, does it support the new schema?

    Cheers,
    Giorgos
