    • uploading pictures

    Posted by syberjj posts: 100

    ok i have been sitting some time here trying to upload pictures
    its all buggy or i am realy dumb
    i dont want pictures in database, but as sson as i define a directory it doesn't work anymore
    the current directory i chose is " files/"

    can someone explain to me what i should check, and how the "Enable directory batch loading:" thing works?
    nothing working for me, always get an error, also i cant scale images using the database setting and the images page background has always a bounding box that has nothing to do with the actual image size, it is there but doesn't change the iamge, usualy stays in background and has its bottom line at half the height of the image

    thanks

    Is the 'files' folder writeable by the web server? Check permissions on it. If tikiwiki is installed in /var/www/tiki, then the folder /var/www/tiki/files needs to be 02777 so that the web server can write in it.

    Is php.ini set to allow uploads? Go to Admin -> phpinfo and look at the setting for file_uploads
    Is the size of the image within the size allowed? Go to Admin -> phpinfo and look at the setting for upload_max_filesize

    You may want to review the docs for details on specifying the directory instead of database.

    The batch load feature means that you can upload a ZIP and Tiki will automatically unZip the file and add the images to the gallery .

    HTH,

    how does this work?
    when I tell tiki to store pictures in a Folder, will all existing pictures be transfered to that folder?
    If I enable "Directory Batch Loading" how do I tell wiki to import the pictures of that folder?
    Where do I set to wich gallery the pictures go?
    thanks
