Has anyone successfully used the Import feature of the Gallery Extension? I just installed the newest version of the extension, and when I tried to import a folder of 4 images (about 1.5 MB each), the import page stalled for 30 minutes showing the first image importing. I closed the page and returned to the Gallery Edit view, and that first image was in the gallery, but none of the others. Just curious if this is a bug or if I missed something? ---

I am looking to import some 250 pages into Radiant for a client, but need to be able to back date their old blog articles. Does anyone have any suggestions on how best to do that? Besides going in via SQL? Also, what is the best approach for having a blog that is category based? Do I need to set up a separate blog for each category and then a master page that pulls update from each category? That seems like a pain. IS their a nested approach that would work? Like Parent: Blog Child: Category 1 Child: Category 2 ? -Mark ---

I’ve got it working, just need to tweak a couple of things re finding articles and presenting the published date but it should work for you too. I’ll hopefully post it as an extension for you today.

Okay, it fails as I described, in Safari. In Firefox, everything works great, and all files are imported! ---

Now it should work also with safari…I also added a new step in the install task that “install” the layout I used in my demo: [http://gor.bigchieflabs.com/demo](http://gor.bigchieflabs.com/demo) Check out the 0.6.1 version… * * * Andrea F. removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid [http://bigchieflabs.com/blog/](http://bigchieflabs.com/blog/) [http://think.bigchief.it](http://think.bigchief.it) ---

Hi Glenn, Would I be right in assuming that this extension that you mentioned will be in your “blog pack” when you discuss it? 🙂 I’m migrating my site at [www.onghu.com/te](http://www.onghu.com/te) from being static HTML to being ‘Powered by Radiant’ - since the original site is a number of technical articles released on different dates, your extension would be useful in setting the dates. My other option is to go through the DB changing the dates myself or writing a Ruby script for it. Cheers, Mohit. 9/7/2007 | 1:44 PM. ---

For what it is worth, Glenn’s module is working very well for this. I’m importing over a hundred articles, and it is great. -mark ---
