 * 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 😉
