Add or delete files to staging?

carlo30lo

Hi,
I'd like to develope a simple submit workflow.
In case of users add new file to staging area an external task add a new item to sitemap page and in case of users delete a file to staging the same external task erase the related item in sitemap page.
How can I understand if users are submitting a new file or are deleting an existing file?

thanks

Prior to your submittask - run an externaltask that checks:

If it doesn't match one of those two scenarios, it's basically an existing file being modified.Note, you'll also have to account for directories as a whole when they're included in the workflow so the above algorithm may need to be expanded / modified to handle that situation too.If you want - you can have this externaltask set one-or-more job variable(s) which can be accessed by your other externaltask script to do it's site-mapping job - or you can combine the two into one script (though it may be a bit tricky since the above is a pre-submit determination, and the site-map is largely a post-submit operation (yes?)
