Pleaser refer to module help for bulk photo creation.
Grid based caption editing is a good idea. I'll consider whether to implement it in the next version.
Thanks. |

I'm also having issues with Batch Upload in UPG 2.0
The Help file mentions:
"You must specify your photo to upload in this page. photos should be in jpeg format, you also can upload a zip file which contains multiple photos. please do not create directory structure in your zip file."
REPRO:
- I created a ZIP file of over 50 photos. (no directory structure in ZIP archive)
- In the "Create photo" page, select the ZIP file. (user has Composing permissions)
- Click "Save & Exit"
RESULT:
Page can not be found (http://localhost:2825/DNNTestSite/Admin/FileManager/tabid/46/Default.aspx)
QUESTION:
- Why can't the page be found?
- Can anyone post a definite HOWTO bulk/batch upload photos?
Thanks!

It's a network bandwidth issue.
In your situation , you packaged 50 photos into a single zip file ,generally this zip file should be 2000kb or even more. if you are using a internet web server, you will definitly get a timeout error if you don't alter the default timeout setting in web.config.
I have two suggestions:
1.package them in multiple zip files and try again. each zip file should be less than 500kb.
2.Use Synchronization feature to create bulk photos , upload your photos via FTP.
Thanks. |

Can also be a web.config problem?
Change from default
to
"3600" useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" maxRequestLength="50000"/

I'm sorry, I didn't notice that you are using localhost ,not a internet web server.
I think Vidar Jensen is right. It must be caused by the max request length.
Thanks. |

Where are the instructions on how to do this?
How do I find out about the synchronisation feature?
I purchased this module specifically for the bulk add feature....
Any ideas?

| The help file says you can add upload a zip file, but it doesnt say where. To upload a zip, just select the zip file instead of a jpg file. All of the files in the zip will be uploaded into the selected album with the name and description that you specify. |

You can upload a zip file in "Add Photo", the same place to add a jpeg file.
Thanks. |

I like the batch upload feature, but some of my users are really computer novices (and that's putting it politely). I think asking them to get pictures into a zip file is going to result in frustration and disasters. My suggestion: a "batch upload" button on the main gallery screen which pops up a file dialogue box that lets the user multi-select files, or even whole folders.
If this is implemented, I suppose it would be a good idea to follow the multi-select dialogue with a "Confirm" screen that shows all selected files. I'm thinking of something like the add files dialogue in Nero 6's Smartstart.

Thanks for your suggestion .I really like it.
But I'm sorry I can't support this feature, because IE doesn't support multiple file selection and folder selection . you can select only 1 file via the open-file dialog.
I think you can put a instruction in the gallery page to demonstrate how to upload a jpg file or zip file.
Thanks. |

Too bad that IE doesn't support multiple uploads. I tried getting a couple of my users to zip and upload multiple pictures, and they just didn't want to deal with it. They're older people with hundreds of pictures to upload. This means I probably can't use DNN to share their pictures.
I don't know if you have the time or inclination to do this, but a utility to help with this problem would be extremely useful. Shutterfly has an ActiveX control and a Firefox extension that allows multiple file upload.
Anyway, thanks for the great module.

Using 3rd party component will bring extra problems about the copyright issue. I once encountered this problem so I will deal with it prudently.
However, if your client has hundreds of photos to upload. why don't help them to upload it via FTP ? I think that is more efficient.
Thanks. |

Yes, I have looked at the Help file.
What I want to find out is what folder can I FTP my zip file to?
And when it is there, how do I add it....
I want to do this because I have lots of albums over a 100 and don't want to upload one at a time.
On top http just does not cut it when it comes to large file uploads.....

If you have multiple photos to create , you also can upload them to the album folder by FTP, then run "Synchronize" to let Ultra Photo Gallery to find them and create appropriate records in database.
The album floder can be found in the top of Album Definition page.
And the synchronize button is located in Album Moderation page.
Thanks. |

| Is there a way I can define the directory where I want the pictures uploaded to. I'm going to be using a 3rd party java applet to upload the pictures by selecting the directory from their local machine. The directory they upload will be created on the server and the pictures will be put into it. Right now I see the album is using the portals root directory but I don't want the people uploading the pics to see those other directorys or have access to them. |

The photos are not saved in root folder of a portal, thay are saved in Portal Root/UltraPhotoGallery//large.
Thanks. |
