When I use Multiple-Add Upload Function to upload photos they always upload outside of the existing target directory [corresponds to a Category] in the root directory. Then I select them all, and use Multiple-Add and they add okay, appear in the specified Category but the images are still physically located in the Root. If I delete them -- of course -- they disappear from the gallery, showing as an error icon instead. How can I get the images to upload to the correct Directory? I'm okay with FTP but then how do I add them to the gallery itself?

|---Directory 2

Re: Multi Add: I must be doing something wrong
Hi,
This is an example how I use FTP upload and Phoca Gallery 'Multiple Add' function:
Step 1: Create a folder within /images/phocagallery/ and load up your images to this folder via FTP.
Step 2: Create a Phoca Gallery category.
Step 3: Create thumbnails of your uploaded images via 'Multiple Add' function.
Step 4: You will find your thumbnails in: Backend --> Componets --> Phoca Gallery --> Images
Step5: If you have created an menu link to Phoca Gallery component (List of categories) you will find your category and your images in frontend.
Kind regards,
Benno
