Is there an easy way to do this in EZ? I suspect it is, but I am still a newbie, learning my trade, so I ask you guys out there!

Hi -
http://www.packtpub.com has a great book: "Learning Exponential 3", and it has some supporting scripts.
One of the scripts they have allows you to upload content into the system - the filename starts with the word "create". You'll need to add this line into their scripts for compatibility with the new versions.
<b>include_once( "kernel/classes/ezcontentobjecttreenode.php" );</b>
If you go to the publisher's site, you can go into the support area and download the scripts. You will have to give them your email (they send you a link).
I have not used it with images, but you may want to try. You should be very comfortable with PHP, and have shell access for this approach. I have used this script as the foundation for many uploads, some that were really complex.
Good luck.

Hi Bjarte,
have a look at http://ez.no/community/contribs/applications/multiplefileupload
Patrizio wrote a perfect extension to upload many images at once (e.g. one complete image folder). Just install his extension.
Best wishes, Georg. -- http://www.schicksal.com Horoskop website which uses eZ Publish since 2004

Have put the fileupload extension in my extension folder. How do I use it to upload pictures in plentiful?

You can use also WebDAV for mulitifle upload (Drag&Drop):http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/demo/flash_demos/webdav_images

I'd second Lukasz suggestion: with webdav, you can see your website as a regular network drive. Uploading images is then as simple as drag n' drop them to the proper location.

Thanks - I'll use this solution instead of my uploads.

Is Webdav hard to implement and use?

Hi.
No, webdav is pretty easy to setup & use : http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/documentation/configuration/configuration/webdav_setup.
In my opinion it's the perfect solution to your question, I use it a lot to upload images to online galleries.
