Artwork/asset scripts

Create missing thumbnails

Will loop over ALL assets in the repository and:
* Create any missing asset thumbnails and previews.
* Discover the imageinfo for assets that don't have this discovered (i.e. imageinfo_processed = 0)
* Extract the fulltext of documents if this hasn't been extracted yet and put into the artwork table
* check if any Video asset are missing any Video Download wizard transcodes, and enter them in the queue if needed (only if a videogenerator is specified)
* for Video assets check if the duration or pixelwidth/height is zero and try to discover this and update the Artwork table  

Please note: this can take several hours for large repositories, so run this outside of business hours or on the weekend!


Re-run pregenerate transforms

This will generate any missing asset transform combinations.

Rename/Fix video transforms

This will generate a list of video transforms that have been generated with the wrong filename. 

The script will generate the list and then give the user a number of options.

1. Enter an artwork id you wish to update
2. Enter a cateogry id you wish update
3. Update all transforms

When you select Rename Transform the files on disk will renamed.


Delete Sample Assets

Delete the sample assets which comes with the default instance.

Please note: this does currently not delete any sample web-to-print templates or showcase entries. Please delete these manually.



Caching Scripts


Logo Finder - clear cache

If you have made changes to the structure of the Logo Finder tree and it's not updating correctly, run this script to clear its cache (will not remove anything with the Logo Finder itself)

Populate Asset metadata cache

Will populate the cache with all assets' metadata in all languages.
If this cache is empty then some asset detail pages will be slow to load if there are lots of custom metadata fields to display - especially hierarchical fields. 


Please note: this can take several hours for large repositories, so run this outside of business hours or on the weekend!


CMS Scripts

List all templates and their pages

List out all CMS pages in the system, categorised by the CMS template they are using.

List all widgets and use

Lists all the widgets used on the system and which templates/pages they are used on.


Search Scripts


(re)-populate Elastic Search

Repopulates the search index for all assets, webpages and folders. It is necessary to do this when you change the group permissions and when templates have been deleted directly in chili backoffice.
