Title: faster way to upload attachments??
Post by: wesleyuk on October 17, 2007, 05:37:52 AM
hi guys

say if you got 1,000 pictures to upload as attachment. Is there any way to upload them quicker?

maybe upload them to a folder in smf folder via FTP then a script to import them to attachment. is it possible?

thanks

Attached to? You could use something like Gallery2 which, I believe, people have been managing to incorporate with SMF for a while and that will pull pictures out of a directory or allow you to upload right from your PC.

Since attachments are attached to a post I don't think it's possible to do it with ftp..
Maybe somebody could create a mod for this, but personally I can't see an easy way to do it though...

The only thing I can think of would be to bridge Gallery2 and SMF and call it good. It wouldn't be attached to posts or anything though.

I really can't think of a quick way for you. When you attach pics to a post, its done in a totally different way. You can't just upload them to a folder and expect them to be attached.

But , hmm, i guess you could upload them to a folder, then in your post just use a lot of [img ] tags

Would that work?
