Hello/Hi/Greetings,
Using piwigo_import_tree.pl I am able to create the albums with the names of folders one level below that specified in --directory, but none of the sub-folders below that (or their photos) get uploaded.
Is anyone else having this problem, or is there a different preferred method for uploading multiple nested folders of photos?
I have written a small script to re-install everything from scratch without having to interact with the computer (apart from hitting enter the first time), including mysql, piwigo, php, apache the raw patch, so I can just set the mysql and admin credentials in the new piwigo install page then try piwigo_import_tree.pl again in case a new version of one of the required applications has been modified in a way that allows it to work again. So far no joy :o( and I have too many nested directories to do them all manually.
Thanks,
Andrew
Ubuntu 15.04,
Piwigo version: 2.7.4
PHP version: 5.6.4
MySQL version: 5.6.25
Piwigo URL: http://atoll.mooo.com
The answer was so simple in the end!
1) Make a symbolic link to the folder containing the photos in the "galleries" folder (under the Piwigo root folder).
2) "synchronize" Piwigo folder+photos in the admin "tools" menu.
Everything then appears in Piwigo, sub-folders mapped to sub-albums, very quickly for 20k photos and videos! (I use the videojs plugin for movies).
Now I just need to import ~10k raw (.cr2) files using the raw patch, then run the physical to virtual plugin. After that I should be able to add new photos normally from then on!
Great!
