Description
This module allows the import of files from a directory on your server.
Note: Only a user with administrator privileges is able to import files from the local server.
Features
- Import files already on your server
- Automate album creation and maintain image/folder hierarchy.
- FTP to your upload folder, then run Server add for a streamlined workflow.
Installation / Configuration
- Activate Server Add module: Admin > Modules
- Define upload folder(s): From the Admin Dashboard, click Settings > Server Add
- The path is a server file structure, not a url. eg to use the uploads directory you would input /var/uploads
- The Add menu item now has the Server add option. Click on it, and dialog window will pop-up where you can select directories or photos to import. If you select a directory, that directory will be imported as an album and any items in that directory, including sub-directories, will be imported into that album. Gallery will create an album for each directory it imports.
