Description
Set up Acidfree as I usually would in 5 and then I tried to upload some images using Mass Import but it doesn't load anything. After pressing upload it drops out of the album back to a home page. Have I missed something or is it an issue?
#1
I get a similar problem. I have tried uploading 5 files, a zip and also local folder. It dosn't do anything, just refreshes the page.
#2
Same here. Mine is a fresh install. I tried a zip file and *.jpg. No images in the folders.
Checked the permissions on all my folders. Seems to be okay.

Hi,
have a look at pachkow's patch for acidfree: http://drupal.org/node/371424
It fixed the normal mass import for me, only import of local files is still broken.

Hi,
I have also tested that patch but it did not work for me.

This new version uses the image module. There is also a mass import feature in there. It works like a charm, but you've got to use FTP to get the files over there.
It's an acceptable solution for me.

I'm not even getting a Mass Import tab even though I've enabled it on the Acidfree settings

I grabbed the patch mentioned in comment #3 and it was doing nothing, even for file uploads. I managed to get file uploads and local import working for me. I basically changed some settings in the form api. There is probably a better way than what I did since this was the first time I dug into form api.
edit: i added another fix to an issue I found. When doing a local install with the recursive option turned off, it was creating an empty album for each subdir in the import directory.

New patch for the edit above since it appears that we can't manipulate attachments if we edit a comment.

I am experiencing the same problem, are we any closer to a fix? does this patch work, is it safe to use? I have 100's of pictures to get into acidfree and doing them one by one would take weeks!!! Please please fix this kind module developer :D

@nialhatton - I'm not a maintainer of acidfree, just a user that came up with a solution that works for me. I believe that is safe but since its not official your mileage may vary.

Well, the patch kind of works. I now can import images from a local path, but album structure and taxonomy are ignored. The images come in as isolated nodes outside of my album hierarchy.
#13
when I hit the mass upload button I get a responce "No node types available" How do I fix this or is there a album that works.
Thanks
