Bulk Import in 4.8.5

[bajabob]

Hi,

I upgraded to 4.8.5 and have a bit of a problem with the bulk upload. Currently if I upload files via ftp in a sub folder of my user upload folder, such as uploads/1/newpics, I try to import from that folder, I get a message that there are no more photos found. But at that point I haven't imported any. If I upload the photos straight into uploads/1/, it works fine, but any folders within uploads/1/ don't seem to work. I've played around with file permissions and everything but just can't seem to get it to work at all.

I'm running on Linux, RHE3, and it's a dedicated server. I have the latest php and mysql installed, and with version 4.8.2 I didn't have this issue. I can provide admin access if it is needed. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Move this line from line 109 in bulkupload to approx 113

$filein = "{$inpath}/$realname";

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately it still doesn't seem to work for me though. I still get the same message after I changed it how you said. I changed

if ( $handle = opendir( $openpath ) ) {
while ( $realname = readdir( $handle ) ) {
$filein = "{$inpath}/$realname";

if ( $realname != "." && $realname != ".." && is_file($filein) ) {
$title = $deftitle;
$desc = $defdesc;

to

if ( $handle = opendir( $openpath ) ) {
while ( $realname = readdir( $handle ) ) {

if ( $realname != "." && $realname != ".." && is_file($filein) ) {
$title = $deftitle;
$desc = $defdesc;
$filein = "{$inpath}/$realname";


Thanks again for your help.

YES THAT LOOKS RIGHT AND IT WORKS FINE. Before with the line above you could not descend down past the first numeric directory now you can or at least I can with the change.

Hmmm...it still doesn't seem to work for me. Even when I delete the entire location of where the files should be located, it still manages to see the files in my uploads/1/ directory. It's almost like it doesn't pay attention to what I place in the "Files should already be in" location.

I downloaded the latest version again and made that changed, checking it over to make sure I did it correctly and no matter what I do I can't get it to read the files from a sub directory, or anyone elses directory besides mine. I have 3 files in my "uploads/1" directory and then 4 in the subdirectory. When I specify the sub directory, it will show the 3 files from my main area still, but none of the files from the sub directory. I also placed files in another user's directory and tried to import from there and was unsuccessful. I've tried it on two sites now, one an upgrade and one a new install, and neither seem to work for me. Would you mind if I pm'd you admin login info for one of the sites so you could have a look at it sometime? Thanks for your help...
