Replacing lost pictures

Post by Harriet »

Has anyone found a quick way to replace the missing pictures in their member topics? It would be nice to find a way to tag photos for a bulk upload.

I hadn't thought of that. Actually, all the pictures are in one directory. As long as they have the same name, this can be done very easily. Let me just test quick to see that the pictures work as long as the file is there....

Dang! Not going to work. On the old version, all the images were amended with a number on the pic to make sure two pics of the same name could not be uploaded. So it would take longer to go through and try and rename all the pics.

In the new version, the pics are not displayed using simple HTML, but code that uses a combination of HTML and PHPBB code to make the images display. I'm afraid we got no fast way to do this.
