Coppermine: File Move Tutorial

Recently I sent out a tweet to ask what webmasters might need tutorials for, this tutorial was included among the requested. I hope it helps!

Note: Please create the folder that you will want to move the file(s) into before starting this tutorial.

Warning: If you move too many files or files that are too large for your server to handle, you will run into errors.

1. Download the File Move plugin ( this is v1.3)
2. Upload and extract into your coppermine’s plugin folder [ see here ]
3. Log in to your coppermine gallery
4. Click Plugin Manager
5. Beside of “File Move”, click the icon.
6. Now that it is installed, go to the main page of your gallery
7. Click the “File Move” link in your gallery navigation
8. Find the folder where the file is located that you want to move
9. Click “Move Some” (remember if you move too many and the server times out you will run into errors)
10. Once in, check the file(s) you want to move [ see here ]
11. When done click “valid”
12. Now choose where you want the images to go. For me I chose “filemove” folder. [ see here ]
13. Now you should see a success message. [ see here ]

If you ran into a server time out or error and now your thumbnails and files aren’t showing
No worries! You’ll need to manually locate (use cpanel for this) the files/thumbnails that were moved (usually in the folder you intended for them to go) and then move them back to the original place. Just move a little at a time if you’ve run into this more than twice.
