batch add files, nothing there except text.

[novex]

ok, i just installed CPG132 had a "includes" problem, got that sorted. however i am now going to add my photo gallery via the "batch add files" section and all i get is a box witht eh text:

"Select directory
This function allows you to add a batch of file that your have uploaded to your server by FTP.

Select the directory where you have uploaded your files"

no directories are listed and there is no other conten on teh page appart fromt eh standard headers and footers etc.
i have searched the forums a bit and to answer the defaul responses i have not uploaded it into any of the CPG directories, it is in an entirely new directory in teh root folder.

any help would be much appreciated.

It's recommended that the coppermine admin uses ftp to upload many pics in one go. Use your ftp software to create sub-folders within your_coppermine_directory/albums/, where your ftp uploads can go to

ohhh, rtfm huh.

well that seems to work, however perhaps adding that into the "

Select directory
This function allows you to add a batch of file that your have uploaded to your server by FTP.

Select the directory where you have uploaded your files

"
so it reads something like "

Select directory
This function allows you to add a batch of file that your have uploaded to your server by FTP.

Select the directory inside the "/albums/" directory where you have uploaded your files"

would avoid people having to refer to teh documentation for every little feature

anyway, my bad, thanks for teh fast response.

a more detailed section on where the upload should actually go will be in the next version of coppermine, as we realized that many users are to lazy to read the documentation, so they keep posting the same question over and over again on this board. A search would have helped as well. Nevermind, your issue got fixed - you can savely ignore my rant.
