FTP'ing Images

When I FTP images directly into the images folder, they do not show up in images list. If I make a article using that image using the img src tag and image filename, the article and image shows on the front page but is not listed in articles list.

Is there a way to get this article and image to be listed in their proper places?

Thanks..

They won’t show up since you didn’t upload them via the admin section.

You want images in the textpattern CMS, not just sitting in a directory. Textpattern can ‘remember’ a whole bunch about these images, including caption, and category information, and you can do things like build smart galleries and assign images to articles.

The best way to get a whole lot of images into textpattern? fpx_image_import or something like it.

This should make you life much easier.

Thanks for the replies, I downloaded the plugin and will install now. Also got some useful info in “how to make a photoblog”.
