Sure. Go ahead; it’s officially not be going to be released until tomorrow, but everything should work now.

Re: Ebl_batchupload

Thanks. I understand the plugin is per domain, what happens if I want to move it to a different domain later?

Re: Ebl_batchupload

I’ll allow a domain change, so long as the old domain is expired or no longer functioning.

Hi Eric,

great to hear it’s available now!

How does that affect local development?
I usually keep a couple of txp installs around, but since they’re local there’s no domain.

Re: Ebl_batchupload

It probably won’t work so well on a localhost install as part of the SWF, but if what you want is to import images into the localhost database, there is a trick to do that without needing to invoke the upload SWF, since you really don’t need to upload in a local environment :)

You would first copy the images to the batchupload folder in the image directory, then invoke http://localhost/textpattern/index.php?event=processImgUploads&thumb=Y&thumbW=100&thumbH=100&rsz=Y&rszW=640&rszH=480&hq=Y

1. thumb = Thumbnail (Y or N)
   1. thumbH = thumbnail Height (integer)
   2. thumbW = thumbnail Width (integer)
2. rsz = Resize (Y or N)
   1. rszW = resize width (integer)
   2. rszH = resize Width (integer)
3. hq = High Quality (Y or N) (difference between ImageCopyResampled vs. ImageCopyResized)

It’s messy URL, but it is a trick that can be used to mass-import the images into the DB.

I’m working on version 2 which should be available in ~ 2 months and should rely less on the flash interface as the front-end and relegate it to just the batch uploading task.

Note: I’ll be starting a new topic as this plugin is now known as EBL_Upload (or ebl_upload for those that like lowercase names)

Thanks for letting me know. There are to many hoops to jump through for this one so I think I’ll pass.

Re: Ebl_batchupload

Curious, how is that a hoop?
