Title: Upload files into /userpics/10001 -- server move without db backup
Post by: 5mall5nail5 on December 09, 2012, 02:10:43 pm
Hi all -

I moved my server and unfortunately the database was not backed up.  The result is that I have all of my images in the original folder "./gallery/albums/userpics/10001/" but I can't import  into the new system via that folder.  I have my photos scattered throughout the interwebworldz in specific paths...  so I need to put them back into that folder.  I could just dump them in there and then do another installation but that's not going to help me.  I'd like to dump them into userpics/10001 somehow and then manually sort them later.  Ideas?

Your only option is to reimport them with batch add. Not a lot else we can advise on as it is the db that holds a lot of important data.

How do you try to import your pictures?

Of course you can move them after adding them to your gallery (there's a plugin that moves pictures on file system level), but why don't you use the batch-add feature or the MassImport plugin?
