Batch Add problem
« on: April 19, 2004, 04:11:15 pm »
Ok, here's my problem.  I have about 100 pictures that I uplaod via FTP to batch add.  In the past this has always worked no problem.  However, now, when I go to add them, maybe like 20 out of the 100 will add.  The ONLY way I can get the others to add, is on the page I have to "right click/show picture" so the "OK" picture shows up for each images.  The majority of the pics are just the infamous "red x" until I do the "show image" method.

As I go through this "show picture" routine, each picture is then added to the gallery.  What gives?  Is there something timing out that I can change?  It has worked in the past, but i haven't added any pictures for a few months.

either your webhost has changed something on the server config or your files have changed. The number of pics that can be added in one "go" with batch-add greatly depends on server performance, file size, resolution etc., so there's no "foolproof" setting. Usually you don't have to use the right-click method, but you can just force-reload the page when getting a time-out.
Make sure you haven't ftp-uploaded to "userpics"!

Yeah, I haven't......they're in their own folder right under "albums".  What should I ask the web host to check about this timemout?  Maybe some apache setting?

oh, I'm sure they won't be changing settings for you - usually you're on a shared server when webhosted, with hundreds of other homepages on the same server. They may have had a performance issue and reduced the execution time a script is allowed to run.
I suggest you reduce the number of pics you batch-add in one go or (better still) reduce the pic size and resolution on your client (before uploading) - there are nice free utilities that will do this for you.

Well, that doesn't work either.  Say I choose 20 of the pictures to add to the batch (note, none of hte pics is over 100K, they're all 800x600) then I'll still have a few 2-3 that won't take.  If I drop it to 10.....I'll have maybe 1.  ARGH

Yes, and after about 5 refreshes it works..........and finally has them all.  But now they're out of order and need to be in sequence, ARGH.  Darn it!  LOL
