Talk:Bulk-uploading cosmetic armor images

Forums: Index > Village pump > Bulk-uploading cosmetic armor images

Some years ago, a pretty comprehensive set of cosmetic armor images were added to the wiki. Unfortunately they were added as links to Photobucket, so most of them now appear as an "UPGRADE YOUR ACCOUNT TO ALLOW OUTSIDE LINKING" error.

But they're still hosted on Photobucket, mostly by a user named Backley2, so I downloaded the entire album. (Which is surprisingly hard to do, on Photobucket). Now I've got 547 images, ~50MB, that I'd like to upload to the wiki. I'm not seeing a bulk upload option, though, and I bet I'd trip some alarms trying to upload 500+ images manually even if I wanted to. Is there a better way? Thanks!

  • We don't offer a bulk upload option. I checked the page you linked, but I don't see any photobucket errors; can you link me an example of this? I'll do some searching to see if I can find one myself, but links are always quicker. Thanks.  👟 ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message) 👟 07:17, July 12, 2017 (EDT)
    • Okay, so a search found 35 pages with photobucket.com links. If you could go through and modify all of the links (which would need to be done anyway) to go from the current http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l204/Kricket_With_a_K/Armor%20kits/Heavy%20Armor/Leaf%201/paleRedTan.jpg to [http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l204/Kricket_With_a_K/Armor%20kits/Heavy%20Armor/Leaf%201/paleRedTan.jpg Cosmetic Leaf (pale red/tan)(female)] for example, I can run through with a script and have DDOwiki itself download them directly from photobucket and give Backley (Contribs • Message) attribution in the notes. Thanks.  👟 ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message) 👟 07:26, July 12, 2017 (EDT)
    Or you can just upload them yourself as it seems many aren't on Photobucket anymore or at least aren't available to view there following the links directly. :\  👟 ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message) 👟 07:30, July 12, 2017 (EDT)
