Since only one person has problem with this PLUGIN, and it works for many others, I moved this PLUGIN as FINAL version in MODs forum
![Very Happy :D](https://www.4homepages.de/forum/Smileys/default/icon_biggrin.gif)
(no changes has been made though)
[OVERVIEW]
-----------------------------------------------
This is an addon for Admin Control Panel (Plugin) that works 98% as "Batch Import" Plugin:
http://4homepages.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2164The difference is that this plugin looking for .zip file in sertain folder, then unzip it and import files into 4images. Also, this plugin has all necesery settings that can be changed through web interface, no need modify ANY files.
This plugin uses
PclZip library.
----------------------
-----------------------------------------------
I dont know how it will behave on *nix servers or on Windows + IIS
Also, with this plugin u can not import images into already existing category

[HOW TO USE]
-----------------------------------------------
1. Create a folder, with name as u want your new category named (e.i. nature).
2. Copy your pictures in that folder.
If u want import thumbnails at ones, create subfolder with name
thumbnails (i.e. /nature/thumbnails/ ). Copy your thumbnails in it.
3. Create a zip archive from main folder (in my example "nature").
4. Upload it into
/admin/plugins/batch_zip_import/zip/ folder.
5. Go to Admin Control Panel, on left-bottom u should see new link "Batch ZIP Import"
----------------------
[KNOWN BUGS]
-----------------------------------------------
U can not have ANY files in the root of your .zip archive
All importing files MUST be located inside a folder in the .zip file.
e.i.
This archive tree is wrong:
/summer.jpg
/winter.jpg
/thumbnails/summer.jpg
/thumbnails/winter.jpgThis archive tree is correct:
/seasons/summer.jpg
/seasons/winter.jpg
/seasons/thumbnails/summer.jpg
/seasons/thumbnails/winter.jpgPlease let me know if it works or not, so I can move this thread in MODs forum.
