INSTRUCTIONS: FTP and mass uploading images
FTP to ismaili.net
user heritage
path: /home/heritage/web/drupal5/imageuploads
Image folder names inside imageuploads will become album names inside the 2008 album, so please start them with the date: "yyyy-mm title" or "yyyy-mm-dd place" (spaces are allowed)
ex: "2008-07 London"
**DO NOT make a timeline/2008 folder
Try to make the image names significant (yyyy-mm-dd-place-title) so that you can avoid making too many subfolders (hard to navigate) Filename limit is long, so go ahead and write full words or short sentences. Use dash- instead of underscores_ for readability.
Now, go to the image gallery 2008 album:
http://www.ismaili.net/heritage/node/14240
- From the left menu, select "mass import"
- Fill out the "Categories" section
- If the news event exists, enter it in "event_link" by starting to type the date and finding the event in the dropdown
- Go to "Import local files", and for the path, enter "imageuploads" and click "import"
Now, all folders under the imageuploads will become albums under 2008, and all images will get transferred according to the structure in imageuploads
BEWARE: Images do not get deleted automatically from Imageuploads, so it is up to you to delete images from that folder once you are finished importing, otherwise your next import will make duplicates.
