imagefield bulk upload
siodong - October 11, 2008 - 18:59
Hi,
I'm using cck imagefield on my site (D5) and what my site need is bulk upload image through imagefield. i try to make an array of upload form, but it didnt work when a node created. is there any solution for bulk upload through imagefield, beside zip patch? how about integrating swfupload or java applet imagex on imagefield? or maybe if image_fupload already on drupal 5, would somebody show me how to use and patch it to imagefield?
thanks indeed.
regards,
have you tried the
have you tried the http://drupal.org/project/imagefield_import module?

i have try
i have try imagefield_import. but that module didn't seems like solve my problem. imagefield_import is importing images from some path on web server, instead upload it when i create a content. if imagefield_import can do upload from local computer, where should i put the patch?
Try this patch
It allows uploading of zip files with multiple images.

i've read that patch, but
i've read that patch, but what i'm asking is there any other possibilities to upload multiple at once beside zipping image files? but, yeah.. this patch maybe my last solution. but, if there's any other option or idea, please let me know. I stuck with this problem for more than 2 weeks. :(

Are there?
The last time I checked there were still no alternatives to Image FUpload - which is very cool - if it works for you. Sadly for me it didn't work longer than a couple of days (see #600698: attepmting to authenticate session id). Also there are lots and lots of cross browser issues - bad for community sites with a heterogenous user base.
ImageField zip support is limited to imagefields with multi-values. It's useless if you simply need to upload a bunch of images into different nodes - which is my useage scenario.
Aurigma Uploader for Imagefield takes over one minute to initialize the applet, it's the same with jUpload for Imagefield; also, these Java applets request additional security privileges - which is inacceptable for community sites with lots of users. Also there are other limitations; according to the project page it "does not play well with other cck fields: changes made to other cck fields are lost when images are uploaded" - which makes it pretty useless to almost any use case I can imagine.
Multiple Image Upload requires the Image module - thus it is useless for CCK imagefields. The same goes for the "Image Publishing" module, the perfect bulk uploading solution: it doesn't support Imagefields yet and most probably never will (see feature request #363048: Support for CCK Imagefields)
So far, the only reliably working way is Imagefield Import - which requires FTP/SCP access to the server - and thus is useless for community sites, again.
If I missed a cool module to bulk upload images into imagefields I'd love to hear about it!

image_fupload is the module of choice for this functionality afaik-- and it's being used by over 4k users (thousands more than any of the other modules you list) so it definitely works in a lot of cases. drupal.org doesn't encourage multiple modules for the same function, though it does happen until a clear winner emerges, so I'm doubtful there's another major player for this function nor is it likely there will be. Your image_fupload bug report is only a couple of days old-- give it some more time. The 'right' answer is probably to debug the issue.
The good news is with image, imagefield, and imagecache in core for d7 I'm sure a multiple upload module (probably image_fupload) will make a lot of progress.

The good news is with image,
There will be a complete rewrite of FUpload for Drupal 7, so you can be sure that it works in a better way.
