I have a collection of nearly 3000 swf files that will be used in some of WP’s post. Two options that I can think of–
- Upload them to WP Media Library,they’ll become attachments, I can
query attachment to get them. - FTP to host, create database table,
query them directly.
Which way would you recommend?
Your best bet is to go with option 2 and alter the DB or use a plugin like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-from-server/, I can’t imagine uploading 3k large files through a http interface like the WP uploader.
A 3rd and probably better option is to just use a CDN like amazon to host the media files, since WordPress sucks at this type of thing,
