Auto galleries from folders?

Post by brononi »

Hey,

I've got a linux server at home with joomla and phoca gallery.
On my server, i've got a folder /home/public/pics/. And in here, several other folders.

Is there a way that when somebody puts a folder with pictures in here, that phoca builds automaticlly a 'photo album'?
So that we can upload pics by ftp/smb/nfs..., and that automaticlly we can see them in joomla/phoca gallery?

For this, you'll need to add them manual, no?
I'm looking for a kind of auto detection. :oops:
That Phoca is 'scanning' a folder for newly added folders/pictures...

Hi, for now there is no such feature and this can be very problematic feature, now while automatically scanning for creating thumbnails, the system can take a lot of resources, no idea what it will do after it will detect files and folders on the server :-(

Depends of course on the frequency you put on the scan. ;)

Fe once a day/week/..., and a button for a manual scan could solve a lot....
