Description

A Webdav Batch Processor plugin which sets a valid index property for any resource in the repository which does not have one. The index property is used to order documents in a folder (the up and down arrows in the Documents tab in Hippo CMS).

Disclaimer This is unsupported software, provided as is.

Using the plugin

1. Check out the code from svn

   $ svn co https://svn.hippocms.org/repos/hippo/hippo-tools/hippo-wdbp-plugin-indexrepair/trunk/ wdbp-repairindex
   

2. $ cd wdbp-repairindex
   

3. Build the uberjar

   $ maven clean uberjar
   

4. Edit repairindex.properties according to you configuration. The example below is configured for a standard Hippo Repository binary distribution.

   location.host=localhost
   location.port=60000
   location.rootpath=/default
   location.path=/files/default.preview/content
   
   authentication.realm=default realm
   authentication.username=root
   authentication.password=password
   
   threading.maxthreads=1
   
   plugin.1.classname=nl.hippo.webdav.batchprocessor.repairindex.RepairIndex
   

5. Run the uberjar with the name of the properties file as a command line argument:

   $ java -jar target/wdbp-repairindex-1.01.00-dev-uber.jar repairindex.properties
   

   (Note: the version number might be different for you checkout)

6. The plugin will output something similar to the following:

   Processing http://localhost:60000/default/files/default.preview/content
   Skipping root node
   
   Processing http://localhost:60000/default/files/default.preview/content/documents
   Current index =
   Setting index for to: 00000000010
   
   Processing http://localhost:60000/default/files/default.preview/content/documents/nl
   Current index =
   Setting index for to: 00000000002
   
   Processing http://localhost:60000/default/files/default.preview/content/documents/en
   Current index = 00000000001
   Node already has a valid index
   

   etc.

Read-only mode

As of SVN revision 6681 (later: release 1.01.01), the plugin features a read-only mode, i.e. it will check all resources for a missing or invalid index property but will not modify anything in the repository. To use the plugin in read-only mode, add the following property to your properties file:

plugin.1.configuration.mode.readonly=true
