    Hello,

    I need to upload about 14000 files as different albums, I don’t want to create it via interface provided by easy photo album plugin, as it will take too much time and my attention. what I want is.

    I am planning to upload all images in structured folder format on server via FTP. and then make a script and create each folder as an album in easy photo album.

    I want to know. what should be the ‘post style’ of the created album using easy-photo-album. so that I can create a easy-photo-album post in that format. also this needs to store necessary data in post-meta I know. I want to know exact post format to be created programmatically to create a perfect easy-photo-album.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi maulikvora,

    I have written a PHP function to create photo albums. See this Gist. The point is, Easy Photo Album uses WordPress attachments for the images. So you have first to add all the images to wordpress and then you can create album.

    In pseudocode:

    foreach (folderwithphotos as folder) {
   open(folder)
   var image_ids = array();
   foreach (image in folder) {
       image_ids[] = wp_create_attachment(image) // I don't know if this is the right function
    }
    epa_add_images_to_album( getfoldername(folder), image_ids)
}
