Hello,
THis is quite urgent as i need to push the site out later today or tomorrow.
I am creating a website where everyone in my year can upload their leavers day pictures to share them. i know the image module will do this fine but that only allows you to upload one image at a time. it has the importer but that is no good since it seems you need ftp access which i don't want to do.
what is the easiest way for people to mass upload images to the server, e.g. 5-10 at once and for it to still make seperate nodes for each image like the normal image module?
also is there a way to have a user submitted page to display the pictures a particular user has uploaded?
many thanks
dave.

image publishing
The image_publishing module provides an interface for Gallery Remote and other methods. You will need to do some searching to find a 5.x version elsewhere on the net. It does exist, but the module hosted at drupal.org is outdated.

so using this it would mean i need to setup another script with multi upload function? wouldn't it just be as easy to just bypass drupal doing that?
is there any other way to do it, so everything remains within the drupal system?
image publishing
The image publishing module is a Drupal module. It exposes an interface so that the end user can upload batches of images using Jesse Mullan's free Gallery Remote Java-based client, which you can provide on your server. It also supports uploading directly from Windows Explorer and iPhoto on the Mac.
The weakness of the image publishing module is that it's too basic. It doesn't directly embed the Gallery Remote applet in pages, as you can do with the Menalto Gallery program (either G1 or G2). It merely makes the Gallery Remote upload protocol available.
This is a problem for casual users but not for heavy users, as the latter will likely just launch the stand-alone Java application.
I have a 14-year-old daughter who has more than 12,000 images in her G1 gallery. Generally she just runs Gallery Remote and does the drag/drop thing with a whole folder of images at once. I am debating whether to migrate her to a fully Drupal-based setup, but probably will stick with Gallery because I don't want to lose all the rankings, ratings and comments her friends have posted.
since you're in a hurry,
since you're in a hurry, take a quick look at the Gallery2 module/integration, I'm sure that it supports mulitple image upload and of course each user has their own gallery page.

Acid free
Try acid free, the new Drupal 5 version looks pretty good.

Image Import
Image Import 5.x-1.0 Allows batches of images to be imported from a directory on the server.
Depends on: Image (enabled)
This is a contrib in the image.module.
One limitation is that it only lets you upload 4 at a time.
Image import
The only way I know how to do it is using the image import module, which as you said requires FTP access.
Have you considered setting up a FTP account that only has rights to a folder where they'd upload their photos? As soon as the import is run on the site, the images are removed from the folder and placed where your images are set to go.

looked at acid-free but
looked at acid-free but struggling to find how to allow multi upload.
i did think of ftp access but it seems a long way around to upload via ftp and then run batch upload. especially since these people aren't really tech savy and dont even know what ftp is!
Look some more:)

Acidfree Display - check 'Show mass import tab in album view'
A new link will appear when you view your album - 'Mass Import'.
I set this up last night as a test on localhost test site, I made a link to the root term (which I changed to 'albums'). That will show all your user albums.
I also used Node Family to restrict the number of allowed albums per user (albums are nodes so you can do this on the content type settings form).

a couple of questions
I have the mass import tab for acid free.
I can upload 5 images at a time, but cant get import local files to work.
I ftped all the files onto the web server and made sure I could see them via a list view.
but, when i put the url in the box, it didnt work. nothing got imported.
does anyone have the correct steps to import multiple images?
is there a way to import images from your hard drive? cutting out the step to ftp them.
thank you.
Nancy, if you are reading this your profile has a no longer working web site. ;)
