Picture Storage

Return to the Index

There is a new program available in 2.0, which permits you to change the storage type of uploaded images. To reduce your database server load, you may wish to store images in the file system rather than as "blobs" in the database. The program provided for this is:

/admin/transferpics.php

To transfer pictures from the database to the File System, start the program using this command (directly type this into your browser bar, relative of course to your osDate root directory):

/admin/transferpics.php?action=DB2FS

To transfer pictures from the File System to the database, start the program with this command:

/admin/transferpics.php?action=FS2DB

Please note that the action parameter should be as given (upper case).
