With many thanks to responses to previous questions, I think I _almost_
at the point of being able to bulk upload images. Here's the situation:
- My images are in a file "uploads" in the "main" wiki directory,
i.e.
the one containing the "maintenance" directory. They all have a .jpg suffix
- I have added and configured an "AdminSettings.php" file in the main
directory. I can now run the rebuildImages script, which I could not do
before.
I get two different types of results when I try to execute the
rebuildImages script while in the maintenance directory:
If I run "php rebuildImages.php", I get the result;
wikidb 2006-05-17 18:43:07: Processing image...
wikidb 2006-05-17 18:43:07: Finished image... 0 of 2 rows updated
wikidb 2006-05-17 18:43:07: Processing oldimage...
wikidb 2006-05-17 18:43:07: Finished oldimage... 0 of 0 rows updated
I have two images already in the wiki, I assume that is what is being
reflected in this output.
If I run "php rebuildImages.php --missing", The result is much longer,
starting with:

and so on...
I'm assuming this causes rebuildImages to look through the "images" dir,
looking for files it doesn't know about, and then add them to the database.
Does this mean I need to add my files to that directory before running
the script? If so, where? The directory apparently has a very specific
structure, and I don't want to put images in incorrect places. Or can I
get "rebuildImages" to look at another directory (eg.
/wikimain/uploads), move them into the appropriate place in "images",
and register the with the database?
Once again, so many thanks for helping with this. We have (at least)
several hundred images that need to be put into the site, and don't
really like the thought of doing it by hand :-).
