Multiple Image Upload...

[KatrinaD]

ok I have been trying to find a clear cut answer to this question.

I want to be able to upload more than one picture at a time...how the heck can I do that?

thanks in advanced!

[jdleung]

yes, there is a Copy Folder addon. it's bundled with pp.
choose your image upload folder, and one click is ok.

I always use it, and I love it. ;-)

[KatrinaD]

ok I tried it and it didn't work...it's like it's not reading the absolut pathname...is it because I use a mac?

your operating system should have nothing to do with pixelpost, pixelpost runs on php/mysql not OSX or windows.

can you give us the specific error and tell us your server information?

[KatrinaD]

well actually right now it won't let me upload a single photo. so what server info do you need exactly?

[KatrinaD]

When I try to do the mass file uplaod this is what I get in the area above the addon section

Warning: opendir(../france/final16/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/anippe/public_html/unloveyou/france/addons/copy_folder.php on line 58

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/anippe/public_html/unloveyou/france/addons/copy_folder.php on line 228

and then at the bottom a message saying 0 files were uploaded...




*bangs head*

ok, so I figured out the first problem, now my only issue is with copy_folder...I jsut don't get how it works!

[blinking8s]

can you give us your server information please?

[KatrinaD]

is this the server info?

URL http://unloveyou.afallingstar.net/france/admin/index.php
PHP-version 5.0.5 (Pixelpost's min requirement: PHP version: 4.3.0 )

MySQL version 4.1.19-standard (Pixelpost's min requirement: MySQL: 3.23.58 )

GD-lib bundled (2.0.28 compatible) with JPEG support

File Uploads to pixelpost site are possible.

EXIF Pixelpost is using exifer v1.5 for EXIF-information.


or is it something else?
if it is..jsut tell me where to find it and I will

[blinking8s]

how big is the folder you are trying to upload? size and # of files?

[KatrinaD]

umm probally 40 mb...give or take...so about 65 files

but I have tired it with smaller folders and still nothing

my problem is I don't know if I need to upload the folder itself from to my ftp, or can I do it from my computer?

[blinking8s]

you use your ftp to upload the folder to the server, then tell the copy folder addon to run that folder from the path

the addon by default gives ../ this is one level above the addons folder, so it is the root of pixelpost, so if you have ../test_folder/ then it would run the script for the images in the test folder in the maine pixelpost directory...i think, lol...Ive never actually had a use for this script before, defeats the reason behind the idea of a photoblog

40mb is probably too large, the average image at web resolution is 100-400kb, 40mb of this is A LOT of images, and your server may or may not be able to handle that

try with one image, then see what it says.

any luck?
