Corrupt folder in cFolders

[Former Member]

Hello we have a folder in cFOlders that can't be opened, deleted, touched. We get "Technical error."

Is there any way to 'fix' corrupt folders?

Badri, thanks for the tip. How do I get to the document guid and what is the best funtion/method to copy the document? Just if you happened to know from the top of your head. Thansk, Elena

This is kind of trial code please run this for sample data..

then after successful run may be u can try for your problematic folder..

you can get the col_id topic_id and other things from the URL of the page or

by right clicking on the URL link and properties...

What i am doing in the code is using the existing COPY AND PASTE functionality in the cFolders

to copy the docs across folders...

HAPPY CODING

Thank you Badri. You're a genius.

Just one more thing, my user keeps on asking me why this happened and is it the supplier that put a bad document in there. I hate to blame it on the supplier since this is a first time that this has happened to us. Why do you think this happens?

Hi Elena,

Its difficult to pinpoint the cause for the corruption. One way of finding is going through the change log/History.

The best way to put forward is that when the document was stored by the client.There might have been some strange characters or an issue with storing the correct information into the records. This way you still let them know to be careful next time they use and not blaming them as well

Cheers

Hi

Check whether you have given access rights to anyone.?

I hope you don't have much information in this folder. If so make a search for all the documents and copy it to a new folder.

Cheers

Badri
