    Hey Alex,

    first of all the obligate hooray shouts 🙂
    Second, and my question:

    I’ll have to import serveral pictureseries from a online-newspaper-cms to a multiuser blog. The export to a xml file with all the relevant infos is already done. Now about the import….

    Is there any way to automatically import all the stuff? Is there a plugin already? And if not, i assume the fastest way is to call the xmlrpc API and import everything over the ngg-methods? I think i have to add some more methods for multiblog-support, right?

    thx for your help!
    andy

    I don’t know what kind of information are in the xml files, but please note that you can just upload all kind of images via ftp and import them into a gallery.

    xmlrpc is a bit slow for a mass import, but of course it should work…

    well…. at least i can export a simple rss feed, with some extra informations like pictureseries name, author and so on…

    the solution you admitted has been my first intention. Creating a directory on the server, getting all the pictures via wget, import them over the ngg-func. Therefore i really don’t know how to call the nggfunc from within my plugin. 🙁

    so i thought about the xmlrpc. sure it would take a bit longer, but only the initial import will be a mass import, all galleries later on will be just a few pics. so this is not relevant…

    anyway… do you know the ruhrnachrichten from dortmund?
    thats the site we are talking about 😉
