Creating album from directory

nicolas

HI,
Is possible to create album from images on some folder on server?

I mean to upload images on server on some folder then to "tell" zenphot ..read this directory and get all images from that dir and create album...

Is this possible?

I kind of do this, but it is probably not what you are looking for. My method requires shell access to the server.

I upload all my pictures into a directory outside the web directory, e.g. `/home/william/pictures/album1/*.jpg`

Then create a link to that directory in the zenphoto albums directory, like so:

`cd /home/william/www/zenphoto/albums`
`ln -s /home/william/pictures/album1/`

So this is all at the file system level. Zenphoto *thinks* the pictures are actually in its own album folder, but those are just links to the actual pictures. Thumbnails and resized images are all cached normally.

For me, the benefit of doing it this way is that I can run multiple installations of zenphoto but keep my *real* picture files all in one place.
