Multiple Uploads
This extension adds multiple file upload facilities to Symphony backend.
It depends on this fork of SelectBox Link Plus.
Features
- UI for multiple file upload on section index (drag & drop).
- UI for multiple file upload on entry single (drag & drop).
Usage
Take a section called Images
with Title (Input)
and Image (File upload)
.
To enable multiple file upload for this section, create a Mapper
for this section.
A Mapper
is a PHP Class located in /extensions/multiple_uploads/lib/upload/
.
Mapper filename: class.SECTION_HANDLEuploadhandler.php
Mapper class name: SECTION_NAMEUploadHandler
Example for Images
section:
filename: class.imagesuploadhandler.php
class name: ImagesUploadHandler
Example for Personal attachments
section:
filename: class.personal_attachmentsuploadhandler.php
class name: Personal_AttachmentsUploadHandler
There already is a mapper for the Images
section. Modify it to suit your needs.
Section index
For each section that has a mapper, on their index page will be added a button to upload multiple files. Use it.
