Filename Decoder

This extension allows to read data from the filename and write it to an informationfield when the asset is added to a node.

Properties

To be configured in {home}/appserver/conf/custom.properties

filenameDecoder.license

type: String, required: yes, default: -

The license key for the plugin (product: filenameDecoder), provided by brix.

filenameDecoder.visibleForGroup

type: list of long (comma separated), required: no, default: -

Restrict the use of the plugin to this user group's IDs (superadmins always see it in any case). If not set, all users can see the plugin.

filenameDecoder.allowedForNodeTypes

type: number, required: yes, default: -

The node types for which the filename decoder can be configured, e.g. 101

filenameDecoder.recursive

type: boolean, required: yes, default: false

If true, search recursively for matching assets

Matchers

When a matcher finds a match, it will write the matched value into the configured information field, unless an information field value is configured, in which case it will always use that value in case of a match.

ContainsMatcher

Simple matcher looking for the existence of that value in the filename. Best used in combination with a constant information field value.

EndsWith

Simple matcher similar to ContainsMatcher, but requires the value to be at the end of the file name.

FixedLengthMatcher

Chops off the number of characters you set as the value and returns the remainder.

UntilMatcher

Returns all characters until the configured value is encountered, where it will stop.

SplitMatcher

Currently indistinguishable from the UntilMatcher, as it will just return the first group.

RegexMatcher

The most powerful of them all, but it needs a match group () in the regex, the content of which it will then return, e.g. .{7}(.{4}).* would return characters 8-12 from the filename.
