Better iPhoto to Drupal via AppleScript

I’ve updated my system for uploading photos from iPhoto to a Drupal image gallery. The original script required both an AppleScript and a PHP script. The updated script does the same thing, but without the need for PHP; it also handles upload of multiple images at the same time.

To install the updated script, here’s what you need:

• The updated iPhotoToDrupal AppleScript. Save this, and then copy the text into Script Editor; set username, password and other variables to appropriate locations on your local system (including the edit[taxonomy][], which is admitedly kludgey), and then save the AppleScript in the Library:Scripts:iPhoto Scripts folder under your home directory. You can rename it something useful like “Upload to Drupal” if you like.
• As before, if you don’t have the Script Menu utility installed on your Mac, go and grab it; it lets you call the AppleScript from a pop-down menu in the menubar.

Assuming you’ve got everything configured properly, you should now be able to select one or more images in iPhoto, call the script (from the Script Menu under iPhoto Scripts) and the photos should appear shortly thereafter in the appropriate Drupal image gallery.

As always, comments and suggestions welcome.
