    • feature_galleries & bulk import

    Posted by Rocker65 posts: 43 Canada

    Hello Tiki folks.

    I'm banging my head trying to do a bulk import of files for my file gallery. I have file galleries enabled, can upload individual files, images etc... But can't seem to do a bulk upload.

    I have used the tiki-admin.php?page=gal and enabled directory batch loading, configured the source / dest directory. Then try and run the tiki-batch_upload.php but it errors out with:

    This feature is disabled: feature_galleries

    Not sure how this is disabled as I do have it checked as enabled and can in fact use it.

    Can anyone shed some light on this?

    Tons of thanks.lol

    My guess is there is some sort of permissions issue going on, either object or category. Are you trying to do this as admin, or some other non-admin user?

    Can't say that I've actually ever tried to the use the batch feature so perhaps I should try! wink

    It certainly does look like a perm issue. I have done it as a user with admin group privileges, And have done it as admin. It fails with the same error either way.

    The message is odd though. It's complaining as if I don't even have that feature enabled.

    Ignore the error and carefully trace your permissions. Start with object permissions on the gallery, then look for category permissions, if you're not using either of those and thus global only, then check the appropriate user group permissions.

    Does that user group have these permissions:
    tiki_p_batch_upload_file_dir
    tiki_p_batch_upload_files

    Also make sure that the specific user group can actually see the gallery, having the batch permission will do them no good if that user group doesn't have:

    tiki_p_view_file_gallery and possibly
    tiki_p_list_file_galleries

    Darkbee, I'm loosing it. I have added and set the perms wide open on the categories, on the galleries, on the groups. All to no avail.

    I am running 4.2, and am thinking of upgrading to a current 5.x version. I'm assuming I can do an upgrade of that nature, and wonder if that would help me with my gallery grief. Long shot,.... sigh... probably.
