Hi

This plugin is for people who self-host their Piwigo files on a NAS or PC.

If your photos/videos are in a 'Photo' or 'Video' directory, to display them with Piwigo you must import them into '/.upload' or copy them to './galleries' and synchronize them.

To avoid duplication of photos/videos, you can create symbolic links in './galleries', which will point to your physical directories.

For a NAS, for example, this requires connecting to the NAS via SSH and using PuTTY to create the symbolic links with the appropriate Linux syntax.

The 'galleries_link_manager' plugin makes managing these links very easy.

The plugin adds a 'Symbolic Links' tab to the menu: Administration > Tools > Synchronize.
In this tab, you get a list of existing symbolic links, and you can:
. create
. delete
. Edit them

Two checkboxes allow you to limit the target directories of symbolic links.

New in version 1.5: In the 'Synchronize' tab, the directory list, which was previously displayed flat, now displays as an expandable/collapseable tree.




The v1.5 plugin is available here: https://fr.piwigo.org/ext/index.php?eid=1080
