Hello,

This add-on looks very useful.

I have a site with thousands of entries, each containing different media files. Files are handled using regular EE2 file fields.
Would it be possible to “convert” or move the file information into Channel Files somehow? Just a once off batch of some kind?

Thanks,

Seamus

Hello Seamus,

In theory you could move things around. But you are going to have some issues. Channel Files stores each file in a directory of the entry number. Second Channel Files has its own db table. Third the actual entry will only have one field that references the db table.

Wish it was easier, but it isn’t. The real issue is the moving of all the files, you could somehow script the DB part. But the physical move might be tough.

Hi Brad,
