Hi, I've got a folder full of avatars which I would like to upload to my forum. I thought I simply upload them using FTP in the images/avatars folder. However I can't choose the avatars when I register, and I'm not sure if I've done it correctly. I've tried using my forum admin to upload them but this only seems to let me upload one at a time. Surely there is a way of uploading the images in bulk? Thanks for any help
Are you using the avatar manager in the admin control panel? control panel - avatars (3/4 way down left hand column) - avatar manager - add new category. Create some categories for the avatars, such as funny, actors, pets, or whatever you have pictures of. The go back to the avatars left column and look for "Add new avatars" - under that you will see two boxes in the center screen "Add a Single Avatar" and "Add Multiple Avatars." In the Add Multiple Avatars provide the path to where you uploaded the avatars and select the category. If you have a LOT of avatars to upload: Create folders in the images/avatars directory for pets, kittens, funny, dogs - or what ever you want. Upload the images to those folders. Example - kittens go in the kitten folder. Create categories - how many folders did you create? How ever many folders you created, add that many categories. Mass add avatars to each category using the "Add Multiple Avatars" form by providing the path to each folder and linking the images to a category. So every folder in the images/avatars/"folder name here" should be linked to a category. Is that what you wanted to know?? I provide my members with 6 categories and about 150 avatars to pick from.
