Title: Naming batch uploaded pictures
Post by: marian on July 07, 2004, 10:05:50 am

Batch upload is great! Yesterday, I uploaded 60+ pix of a windsurf jumping competion to
http://www.bymnews.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=16, then I realised that I needed a title.
If I change the name of the Directory from the number to "Paris Bercy Jump" is there an easy way I can make that the title of each pic in the album?
I read the thread about renaming using resize, but it doesn't seem to fit my need.

If you know your way about your database, you could make a query to do it.

If not, the easiest way would be to click on the edit pics button next to the album thumb, put what you want in the first pic, then copy and paste into all the other pics, then apply modifications.

I dont know my way about the database, nor about making queries, but I'm beginning to think that I need to learn this stuff to save time in the long run.
I have several 300+ batches to upload, so I need to get around the opening each and pasting route.
Can you suggest a good beginners guide to php?
Thanks.
