I've been using myAlbum-P on a couple of sites (http://valentinewalton.co.uk and http://homelineco.com) for some time quite sucessfully but have never been able to get batch register to work

Every time I try to specifiy a directory path it says invalid directory. So, can you give a tutorial.

My server is http://homelineco.com. On that server according to ftp, my web site is located in /public_html and my images that I want to batch register are in are in /public_html/images/photos1.

If I enter any of the following I get the 'invalid directory is specified' error;
images/photos1
/images/photos1
/public_html/images/photos1
homelineco.com//public_html/images/photos1
http://homelineco.com//public_html/images/photos1
http://homelineco.com/public_html/images/photos1

Please help. It is an absolute pain to have to upload them all up individually.

Kind Regards

think the trick is to use the xoops base as a reference

as in if you uploaded the pics into the myalbum dir
there directory entry will be

/modules/myalbum/photos1

know it took me a bit of time and effort to sort this one out but laughed when realised

perhaps one for the read me file gijoe:)

Quote:I use a directory outside the XOOPS structure. I enter an absolute path /path/directory and it has been working both in myalbum and myalbum-p.

Kaper

In my examples above, /images/photos1 would conform to what you are stating.

HOWEVER, I have discovered that the directory did not have Execute and read (for users) flag set, which it needs to copy the files into the photo album directory.

Now /images/photo1 works!

Problem solved. thanks.
