Manage-media:Zip extraction

From Site Foundry

Why would I want to extract a zip file?

If your site requires a large amount of media uploading, then the Site Foundry application implements a zip extraction feature for your media content.

This is a very simple system that allows administrator to collect media items together in folders on their desktop, zip archive the files together, upload, and have these added the media manager.

It is important when doing this do remember the following points

• Keep folder names meaningful, no punctuation, just spaces
• File names will be the description of the file when uploaded. You cannot use punctuation, just spaces.
• The files/folders will be uploaded stating in the uploads folder as the root. Therefore, the structure will always be uploaded as is.
• Even if the zip file is within the maximum upload size, the zip archive needs to be extracted to memory, so the memory allocated to PHP will be the limiting factor to the size of what can be uploaded.
