Great link and thank you to coffe2code.com for the plug in

Mylagoon….thanks for the post. I was looking for that exact solution.

Just talked to my database guy at work and he says it will be a snap. Use phpMyAdmnin to export the database as a text file, create your directories for thumbnails and images, upload said thumbnails and images, and then append the part of the database that deals with posts. I made two postings of thumbs and images manually and it was easy to see where the database stores the information of where the thumbnail and image is called.

You will probably need to use an absolute link to both the image and the thumbnail [the whole URL https://www.yoursite.com/thumbs/1.jpg] to make sure that it is referenced correctly.

This will speed up ‘production’ for any site that will have 100’s of photos. Go ahead and upload only those photos that you need to develop or tweak your CSS / Theme and then when you are where you need to be upload everything, change the database [text file], save it using MyphpAdmin [this is really just a cut ‘n paste, and check out the results.

Note: You can continue to use the admin upload facility for any small updates, picture of the week, but this will help you get your site up and going immediately if you have already edited what photos you want to show.

NOTE: The author of this post knows only enough about PHP and MySQL to be considered dangerous. He is going to attempt this tonight and will report back with results. Hopefully it is a valid idea/comment or there will be much tooth gnashing and hair pulling.

I am wondering if I can make a bulk upload once I have resized all of my images and thumbnails. Uploading all of the images to their directories and then updating the database table with the text that references them? I have phpMyAdmin installed and I just exported the table that lists posts, it seems pretty straight forward, but does anyone know if this is possible?

err…comments

Thitpan vomments that photoshop will not remove exif info; however, what if you imported your images using native softwre that came with your camera, or iPhoto. Perhaps you have no exif data to display…thats just a theory.

Have you activated your plug-ins using the wordpress admin menu? [yet another theory]

<!--<?php comments_popup_script(); ?>-->
<!--<?php include 'comment-popup-function.php';?>-->

to get rid of the pop-ups got to the header and comment out the following….

you will probably need to add a link back to the image page…I haven’t hacked that yet…

thanks next time I won’t be hyper-idiot

That last post cut off some of the code in line 41 and turned it into a link….nothe there is an < a h r e f = ” in front of that line

okay I have been through the directions on this thread at least 20 times and the method discussed does not work for me.

but I figured out a different hack that works.

Each category has an ID as well as a slug….I run wordpress on some other sites so I ‘hovered’ over a couple of categories to see how they were linked. They don’t use a slug at all, they use a category id.

In my case it was category id=2 so I figured that would get me to the proper ‘archive’ page just as well.

So if the all entries method doesn’t work try this….

go to the header and locate the following code line [hint: It’s 41] and it looks like this…

“/category/all-entries” title=”View all photos on this blog”>Archives |

go ahead and create your new category. category 1 is taken as ‘uncatagorized’ so category 2 will be the next category. Go ahead and name it whatever you want and feel free to ignore the ‘slug’ just remember the number.

then replace /category/all-entries” with /?cat=2″

replace line 41 with this line:

/?cat=2″ title=”View all photos on this blog”>Archives |

That worked for me. I can’t say if my method will be as serch engine friendly as Khun Thitipan’s but it got me up and running.

I’m glad I got this working as this is a kick ass theme. props to Thitipan.

hope this helps…

neon,

Thanks for the reply. I have done the following but still get an error:

so, to recap:
1. Create master archive category, call it anything, like “Archives”
2. in Category Slug field enter “all-entries”
3. for every post, check the box of the category you want that post to appear in AND the box of the “Archives” category.

Note I have been testing with only one foto posted so tonight I will attempt a second post, and will delete the first canned ‘welcome to wordpress’ post. Perhaps they are somehow screwing thing up.

I’ll report back with my results.

thanks again to neon and thitpan

thitipatn,

I am having trouble with the archive links also. I set up the category, made it the default, and it still comes up 404’d….what could I be missing?

check out blueblurry.com he has a really nice photoblog and he has one that is available for download.

some really great pictures too.

Khun Thitipat,

Khrap Khun Mak Khop Khrap Phom…

Sawadee khrap
