Can Chevereto auto include images found in a particular directory?

Hi there everyone!

A while ago, I included Chevereto in a Photobucket thread in which I suggested the script to be used as a personal image repository. The general consensus by those that have taken the step is that the script is the bees knees.

I've been asked a few times, however, if Chevereto can have an auto upload feature for their phone. I know that an app does not exist with no plans in the works so I'm not asking about that, please keep reading :)

I've pointed them to an app that can sync their images to computer/ftp/whatever they want and it got me to thinking. Can Chevereto pull new images from a directory and include them in a particular album(perhaps, named auto-upload) so they can share these images while saving a few steps in the process?

Any insight would be welcome.

Thanks for your time!
 
There are plans for a bulk folder importer that should work similar to what you are describing.

No date so far, but it will be included in the mid-term.
 
Thanks very much for your reply, Rodolfo. If it's ok, I was wondering if I could ask a question.

I was going to play around and see if I could write up something to scan a directory and populate the image dirs and database but am having a problem figuring out how to use a hook.

First, I renamed chevereto-hook.php and just added an echo at the bottom and did a page source search but couldn't find the text. Then I saw in loader.php "# If you need to hook elements to this loader you can add them in loader-hook.php" so I created loader-hook.php in the app directory and added an echo to that but again couldn't find the text in the page generation of the index of my install.

Am I misunderstanding how to use the hook files for inclusion in page load?

Thanks for your time!
 
The hook is used for every request, you don't need to scan a directory for every request.

Use a route.
