Manual:ImportImages.php/pl

importImages.php is a script which uploads images to MediaWiki from the same computer where the wiki is configured. It does a remote upload if configuration parameter $wgForeignFileRepos is configured correctly, or if you are using an extension that correctly configures it, such as the AWS (S3) extension.

php maintenance/importImages.php /path/to/images/directory

Upload with custom comment "Importing files from local file repository" and default user "Maintenance script":

php maintenance/importImages.php /path/to/images/directory --comment="Importing files from local file repository"

Upload with custom comment "Importing files from local file repository" and custom user "Upload admin" (which must already exist, or an error will occur):

php maintenance/importImages.php /path/to/images/directory --comment="Importing files from local file repository" --user="Upload admin"

importImages.php will not search and upload images in sub-directories (directory recursion) by default. Therefore upload with custom comment "Importing files from local file repository", custom user "Upload admin" and recursively search for files in subdirectories:

php maintenance/importImages.php /path/to/images/directory --comment="Importing files from local file repository" --user="Upload admin" --search-recursively

Uwaga:

If this script is being used to import files from a MediaWiki installation's file directory with the --search-recursively option, be careful to skip any subdirectories other than \0–\9 and \a–\f (in particular, any \archive or \deleted subdirectories will be for deleted files, and the \thumb subdirectory has generated thumbnails).

importImages.php will not overwrite images if an image with the same name already exists on the wiki. Therefore upload with custom comment "Importing files from local file repository", custom user "Upload admin" and overwrite existing images:

php maintenance/importImages.php /path/to/images/directory --comment="Importing files from local file repository" --user="Upload admin" --overwrite

The same as above but only overwriting the given image types, e.g. pdf:

php maintenance/importImages.php /path/to/images/directory --comment="Importing files from local file repository" --user="Upload admin" --overwrite --extensions=pdf

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

$ php importImages.php
Import Images

Imports images and other media files into the wiki
USAGE: php importImages.php [options] <dir>

<dir> : Path to the directory containing images to be imported

vi-notebook:/var/lib/mediawiki1.7# php maintenance/importImages.php /store/wiki/absurd_pic jpg

Incorrect folder path

Import Images

No suitable files could be found for import.

The following error can be caused by two issues:

1. Directory permissions needs to be changed, and/or
2. User does not have the privileges to upload the pictures

Problem 1 - Directory permissions needs to be changed

Solution - Change directory's mode

1. chmod the following four folders to 777:
   1. images
   2. images/temp
   3. images/thumb
   4. images/archive
2. If it hasn't already been done, in LocalSettings.php, uncomment the line $wgHashedUploadDirectory = false; 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.
