This modules provides a wizard that allows mass importation of Binary files from URLs into selected model/field of multiple records.
As the standard CSV import only allows to import Binaries from URLs into image fields, this module provides the possibility to import any kind of Binary such as Texts, PDFs, and anything else.
Important
This is an alpha version, the data model and design can change at any time without warning. Only for development or testing purpose, do not use in production. More details on development status
Table of contents
Configuration shouldn't be needed, however you can customize the import using following `ir.config_parameter`:
- `binary.url.import.max.size`: Maximum size (in Bytes) of imported Binaries. (default = 10485760 = 10MB)
- `binary.url.import.timeout`: Timeout limit (in seconds) for HTTP requests to get an answer. (default = 5)
The importation wizard will be available in the Settings > Technical menu.
An admin user can select the target model and field of the importation, and select a Char field where to store the file name of the Binary being downloaded.
He can then list record IDs (either using Database ID or XML ID) and the URL of the file to download and write into these records.
To create new records, a standard import can be made without the binary field first, then a CSV like list can be copy pasted into the wizard to allow mass importation without having to upload or list URLs one by one.
- No check is done on the target records if the target field is not empty.
- Target records can not be created and must be created first before being able to import Binaries from URL on it.
- Restriction of models to be selected could be improved
