Creating nodes without media
During a create
task, if you want to create nodes but not any accompanying media, for example if you are testing your metadata values or creating collection nodes, you can include the nodes_only: true
option in your configuration file:
task: create
host: "http://localhost:8000"
username: admin
password: islandora
nodes_only: true
If this is present, Islandora Workbench will only create nodes and will skip all media creation. During --check
, it will ignore anything in your CSV's files
field (in fact, your CSV doesn't even need a file
column). If nodes_only
is true
, your configuration file for the create
task doesn't need a media_use_tid
, drupal_filesystem
, or media_type
/media_types_override
option.
