Default setting

$smwgImportFileDirs = [
    'smw' => __DIR__ . '/data/import'
];

This means that by default legitimate files in the /data/import directory relative to the wiki's root directory will be imported upon installation of Semantic MediaWiki.

Changing the default setting

To modify the setting to this configuration parameter, add one of the following lines to your "LocalSettings.php" file after the enableSemantics() call:

Change the standard directory to search for files to be imported to a different directory

$smwgImportFileDirs = [
    'smw' => '/usr/local/bin/smw'
];

This means that legitimate files will be searched for in the server's /usr/local/bin/smw directory.

Add another directory to search for files to be imported

$smwgImportFileDirs = [
    'smw' => __DIR__ . '/data/import',
    'foaf' => '/usr/local/bin/smw/foaf'
];

This means that legitimate files will be searched for in the /data/import directory relative to the wiki's root directory and in the server's /usr/local/bin/smw/foaf directory.
