Is there an easy way to do this in EZ? I suspect it is, but I am still a newbie, learning my trade, so I ask you guys out there!

Hi -

http://www.packtpub.com has a great book: "Learning eZ publish 3", and it has some supporting scripts.

One of the scripts they have allows you to upload content into the system - the filename starts with the word "create". You'll need to add this line into their scripts for compatibility with the new versions.

<b>include_once( "kernel/classes/ezcontentobjecttreenode.php" );</b>

If you go to the publisher's site, you can go into the support area and download the scripts. You will have to give them your email (they send you a link).

I have not used it with images, but you may want to try. You should be very comfortable with PHP, and have shell access for this approach. I have used this script as the foundation for many uploads, some that were really complex.

Good luck.

Hi Bjarte,

have a look at
http://ez.no/community/contribs/applications/multiplefileupload

Patrizio wrote a perfect extension to upload many images at once (e.g. one complete image folder). Just install his extension.

Best wishes,
Georg.

Have put the fileupload extension in my extension folder. How do I use it to upload pictures in plentiful?

You can use also WebDAV for mulitifle upload (Drag&Drop):

I'd second Lukasz suggestion: with webdav, you can see your website as a regular network drive. Uploading images is then as simple as drag n' drop them to the proper location.

Thanks - I'll use this solution instead of my uploads.

Is Webdav hard to implement and use?

Hi.

No, webdav is pretty easy to setup & use : http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/documentation/configuration/configuration/webdav_setup.

In my opinion it's the perfect solution to your question, I use it a lot to upload images to online galleries.
