Introduction

This page discusses some issues related to wiki images.

How-To Upload Wiki Images

This procedure assumes that you have CLI access to the wiki host box. Other procedures may be documented in the future.

01) Start with a set of 1 to 50 image files. Note: You'll be able to upload the full set easily in one go.

02) Rename the image files:

  • Make every filename unique.
  • In most cases, though this is optional, make the filenames lower-case.
  • Don't use spaces or most other punctuation characters in the filenames. Limit period to the filename extension. Dash, underscore, and plus are O.K.

03) Log-in as "root" or do "sudo bash".

04) Create a new empty temporary directory. Important: Make sure that it is empty.

05) Copy the image files into the temporary directory. Keep the directory flat; i.e., no subdirectories.

06) Execute the following but replace "/somedir/" with a directory path for the temporary directory.

cd /var/www/wiki.minetest.org/maintenance/
php importImages.php /somedir/

There you go. The temporary directory may now be removed.
