Manual:ImportImages.php/es

importImages.php is a script which uploads images to MediaWiki from the same computer where the wiki is configured. It doesn't do a remote upload.

If you plan on importing the file descriptions on the image pages too, then you should do that before you run importImages.php. Otherwise, those file descriptions will be buried underneath the import in the page history. If you make this mistake, then you can fix it with a bot script such as.

Examples
Upload with default comment "Importing file" php maintenance/importImages.php /path/to/images/directory

Upload with comment " " php maintenance/importImages.php /path/to/images/directory --comment=" "

Importimages.php will not search and upload images in sub-directories (directory recursion) by default

An example of what a successful import of one image (Foo.jpg) looks like:

Does not find the picture to upload
Example where the script doesn't find any picture to upload: vi-notebook:/var/lib/mediawiki1.7# php maintenance/importImages.php /store/wiki/absurd_pic jpg Import Images

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach in /usr/share/mediawiki1.7/maintenance/importImages.php on line 34

Incorrect folder path t@f66677:~/public_html/dead.com/public/w/maintenance$ php importImages.php /m gif bmp PNG JPG GIF BMP Import Images

No suitable files could be found for import.

Usually this is because the path to the folder is incorrect.

Upload failed error
The following error can be caused by two issues:
 * 1) chmod permissions needs to be changed, and/or
 * 2) user does not have the privileges to upload the pictures

Problem 1: chmod permissions needs to be changed
 * Solution: Change chmod settings


 * 1)  chmod four folders to 777:
 * 2) images,
 * 3) images/temp,
 * 4) images/thumb and
 * 5) images/archive
 * 6)  If it hasn't already been done, in LocalSettings.php, uncomment the line   by removing the # in front of the line.

Problem 2: user does not have the privileges to upload the pictures
 * Solution: switch users or change user upload privileges.

Skipping existing pictures
By default, ImportImages.php will not overwrite pictures. If a picture with the same name already exists on the wiki, you will get this error:

php importImages.php /home gif bmp PNG JPG GIF BMP Import Images

Dadtest.jpg exists, skipping

Found: 1 Skipped: 1

To overwrite any images type:

php importImages.php /home gif bmp PNG JPG GIF BMP --overwrite

The result will be: Import Images

Dadtest.jpg exists, overwriting...done.

Found: 1 Overwritten: 1
