NextGEN Gallery – recursive directory scan?

    Hi. I was wondering whether it is possible to scan recursively in the gallery home directory when checking for new photos in NextGEN gallery.

    I already have a lot of photos on my server and just want to point to the right directory to share them via the web. I tried soft linking, then I put in a simple sub directory but neither ended up getting scanned..

    Is there a smarter way to do this?

    Thanks!

  • any word on this? I am in search of a similar function.

    Afaik WP doesn’t have this kind of functionality, but you can try this:

    function getDirectory($path = '.', $level = 0)
{
    $ignore = array('cgi-bin', '.', '..');
    $dh = @opendir($path);

    while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh))) {
        if (!in_array($file, $ignore)) {
            $spaces = str_repeat(' ', ($level * 4));
            if (is_dir("$path/$file")) {
                //it's a dir
                getDirectory("$path/$file", ($level + 1));
            } else {
                // it's a file
            }
        }
    }
    closedir($dh);
}
call: getDirectory("."); // where . is your path
