PropertyGroup samples

Basics

From older OpenKM version we named "Metadata Groups" as "Property Groups".

Although we understand this name does not help a lot to identifying these methods with metadata ones, for historical reason, we continue maintaining the nomenclature.

For more information about Metadata.

On almost methods you'll see parameter named "nodeId". The value of this parameter can be a valid document, folder, mail or record UUID or path.

Example of nodeId:

  • Using UUID -> "f123a950-0329-4d62-8328-0ff500fd42db";
  • Using path -> "/okm:root/SDK4PHP/logo.png"

Methods

addGroup

Description:

MethodReturn valuesDescription

addGroup($nodeId, $grpName)

void

Add an empty metadata group to a node.

Parameters:

$nodeId string type is the uuid or path of the document, folder, mail or record.

$grpName string type is the grpName should be a valid Metadata group name.

Example:

<?php

include '../src/openkm/OpenKM.php';
