How to get a Friendly URL of each image in Asset Library?

Vote:

Hi,

Our client would like a Asset library report and would like the report to have a friendly URL generated for each Image and file in the Asset Library in CMS Episerver 6 R2.

Is this at all possible? If so do you know what code is best to use?

Many thanks

Scheduled job

Use UnifiedFile and UnifiedDirectory.GetFiles / GetDirectories

http://world.episerver.com/documentation/class-library/?documentId=cms/7/25a9113a-09bc-b669-f00b-976d8a0abe16

UrlRewriteProvider.ConvertToExternal to get paths

see

http://world.episerver.com/Forum/Developer-forum/EPiServer-CMS-6-R2/Thread-Container/2012/9/Absolute-external-URL-property/

Output using EPiServer logging...(log4net)?

Use a scheduled job instead of a user pressed button to avoid timeouts.

Set scheduled job to run as an admin kind of user to avoid any access rights problem. E.g.

if (HttpContext.Current == null)

            PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal = new GenericPrincipal(

                new GenericIdentity("Scheduled DummyTask"),

                new[] { "Administrators" });
