Title: Import
Post by: dan42101 on March 12, 2016, 12:41:50 am
Is there a way to import folders that I have ftp'd in to the import folder..?

I have many photos I'd like to put in the Gallery but they are all in individual folders already.

-Thanks

You can browse folders from the batch ftp aread but you would need to create the categories first then import them into that category

I have the gallery category created, and on the right there are links for [edit] [delete], [permissions], [import pictures] and [regenerate thumbnails].

I click [import pictures] and get another screen that has "Import Pictures" in the title bar, the name I gave the category, the path to the /gallery/import folder, lots of other stuff, and then a button to click to import. 

When I click that, I get another appropriate looking screen with several more links (below), but nothing happens. 

With Selected      Perform Action
Bulk Add Pictures  Add Sub Category  Add a picture  -   Return to Gallery


It is like it is wanting photos only, not folders with photos in them...  I have 155 folders, most with 10 or 20 photos...

-Thanks

The import pictures link does not handle folders.
Inside in Admin -> Gallery - Batch Add you can browse folders and import the data.

Ok, 

I had moved everything from the FTP folder to import folder...

I just now moved it all back to ftp and they show up.

To get them to upload to the Gallery, I have to tick the box to ignore file size...

I guess I will have to go back to the multi window way.  You have to make each category anyway...

-Thanks
