remote media folder
« on: March 26, 2008, 03:08:45 PM »
Hi!

I need to change my gallery´s data folder to another server. I´ve tried to edit includes/constants.php but the script keeps adding the base url to the address I put in the includes/constants.php file.

While browsing this forum for an answer I could find several people saying that the best way is to use the remote url feature but I have more than 10GB of files in my gallery so that out of question.

So, I´ll need some experienced programmer to do this trick for me, I´ll pay via paypal, just need to know how much could a job like this cost.


Thanks,
Fred

While looking for a solution for this problem I´ve seen that someone mentions the use of SQL to do this or that this can be done using mysql...

How could I do this?

Thanks in advance.

guys..

you can only use URL of pics when you adding your files:

example:
Image File: URL http://localhost/4images/data/media/18/nicky_2.jpg
Thumbnail File: URL http://localhost/4images/data/thumbnails/18/nicky_2.jpg


editing constants.php want work.
If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
cheers
Nicky

Hi Nicky,

My problem is that I have thousands of files already in the server and I don want to upload them again...

Can´t I change the way the script works so it gets the media from a different server?

Or some bit of code telling the script to in case of files from this and that directory, get them from this or that place...

I will pay for someone to do this for me.

Thanks,
Fred

My concern is that I've hit a hard limit regarding the amount of files I can have on my host.

I don't mind going through an extra step to import images then move the thumbnails over to a remote server.

same for me..I got about 60 gigs in the media folder...at least I could use a server cluster..but then again...how do I add the media files when the files are in two locations?..this will require some data mining...anyone interested? If so please quote your price.

You can simply put images using .js file.
I too started working in same way & uploaded many .js files i.e. streaming audio which ate at esnips.
It makes benefits that several sites can be made using the same content.
