Allsky and Wordpress

[dchamb55]

Now that I have my Allsky system and verified it was creating images on the local folders on my Raspberry Pi, I need to know how to send these files (current image, timelapse video, keograms) to my observatory website. It is built with Wordpress. I want to create a Wordpress page containing all this content for my website.

I know I have to FTP the files to a folder on the web host, just not sure where, as it is accessible from Wordpress. Once the images and videos are there, I think all I need to do is embed the files into a page. Has anyone else done this?

@dchamb55 Do you have the Allsky Website on your Pi? If not, what you want to do is very simple. Just specify the host name/password and the directories for the files in ftp-settings.sh.
Look in the Wiki for troubleshooting uploads. You can use upload.sh -debug .... to have it do a PWD and LS so you can see where it's logging in to. There's where the Wordpress program needs to look for the images.

Thanks for your reply. I do have the Allsky website installed on my Pi. Should I not have done that?

@dchamb55 That exactly what I have on both my Pi's. To determine how to copy the files to the Pi's website as well as have them uploaded to a remote server, look in the Settings -> Allsky page in the Wiki.
If you still can't figure it out, please let me know what's confusing and/or lacking on that page so I can correct it.
Thanks - Eric
