Upload descriptions and pictures

(1/5) > >>

coppermineuk:
I am hoping to find a method to up load images and their description data to simplify the upload process (perhaps from a text file listing descriptions and filenames). The product is so good I'm sure that this must be possible but I cannot find anything in the FAQs and Documentation.

Can you help?

Joachim Müller:
no, such a method doesn't exist; at least I don't know a mod that will accomplish this.

coppermineuk:
Ok and thanks - At least I know I looked hard enough  ;D

I think that it would be useful feature.

Nibbler:
If you give more details of what exactly you want, maybe someone will make a mod. :)

Joachim Müller:
I guess coppermineuk is refering to something like a csv file to be ftp-uploaded along with the pics that should then hold the title and description of the text. The batch-add screen is then suppossed to look for this particular text file (which might need a defined name) and add the text contained inside the file to the database. I'm not sure how the correlation between the pic file names and the text entries is suppossed to work though. Another option would be (maybe inside "admin tools") to have a little routine that adds a certain line of text (title and/or description) to a whole bunch of pics/files at once, using the coppermine ui (some thumbs with checkboxes and a <textarea> would be all it takes...
Food for thoughts imo, might be a nice mod or future feature - why not add it to the dev todo list maybe?
