Foundry VTT Content Management System

This is a simple content management system for the Foundry VTT. At the moment it only supports exporting and importing HTML files in a folder structure.

Note: This module is only usable in Chrome due to its reliance on the Filesystem Access API.

Given a folder of HTML files, this module will import them into Foundry VTT. It can also export the current content of the Foundry VTT to a folder of HTML files.

Usage

Upon activation in a world a modal on the bottom left is displayed, containing three buttons.

• Export Journals: Exports the current content of the world's Journal Directory to the selected folder.
• Import Journals: Imports the selected folder of HTML files into the current world's Journal Directory.
• Clean: Deletes all folders and journal entries in the world's Journal Directory.

Importing

Only the HTML files in the selected folder will be imported. The root (selected directory) will not be imported, however, the rest of the folder structure will be preserved.

Example:

# Selected folder: /Users/<user>/Desktop/Journals/

Journals <root>
├── Folder 1
│   ├── Journal 1.html
│   ├── Journal 2.html
│   └── Journal 3.html
├── Folder 2
│   ├── Journal 4.html
│   └── Journal 5.html
└── Journal 6.html

Will result the following structure in the world's Journal Directory:

Folder 1
├── Journal 1.html
├── Journal 2.html
└── Journal 3.html
Folder 2
├── Journal 4.html
└── Journal 5.html
Journal 6.html

File prelude:

To successfully import a directory of HTML files, it is vital that each HTML file has a prelude:

<script type="application/json">
	{
	  "name": "JSON escaped name",
	  "img"?: "path to image",
	  "permission"?: "Default permission value"
	  "sort"?: sort value,
	  "id"?: "id of journal entry"
	}
</script>

Only the name is required. The rest of the fields are optional.

The rest of the file will become the content of the journal entry.

Folder metadata:

It is also possible to specify metadata used in the creation of the folder in Foundry as well. This is done by adding a __meta.json file to the folder.

{
  "name?": "JSON escaped name",
  "sorting?": "a" or "m",
  "sort?": sort value,
  "color?": "color value"
}
