Bulk caption text uploads...

Dear friends,

I'm a new (and very enthusiastic) user of Phoca Gallery, but I've run into a sort of complicated situation. Uploading the images is very fast and simple, but filling in the new captions (the "Name" field) is very slow and repetitive. Has anyone ever request a 'bulk "Name field" input form', a web from in which on could fill in some 50-100 name fields and only at the end press the "save" button?

Best Regards from Brasil

Carolien,

How "safe" is such a procedure? May I be risking destroying or currupting the Phoca Gallery if I do this by myself?? I must asure you I am no technical guy, just a regular user Joe... :)

Best Regards!

Hi,

see this topic: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1290&p=7277&hilit=d ... ysql#p7277

and about safety: try it on a local server / testserver and backup first.

I don't show descriptions (yet)

Good luck!
