[edit] Configuration & Installation
- Get the source
- Add the two files to a MultiUpload subdirectory under extensions
- You have to have already set up uploads to work properly on your wiki
- For more information on this, see Manual:Configuring file uploads
- Add this line to your LocalSettings.php
require_once("$IP/extensions/MultiUpload/SpecialMultipleUpload.php");
- Patch SpecialUpload.php. Copy mediawiki-1.14.0.patch to your base mediawiki installation directory and run patch -p0 < mediawiki-1.14.0.patch
- Optional: Find a place where you can link to your new extension Special:MultipleUpload
- For example, you can add it to the sidebar by editing MediaWiki:Sidebar and adding a new line ** Special:MultipleUpload|multipleupload ("upload files") or ** Special:MultipleUpload|multiupload-toolbox ("Upload multiple files"). In both cases, if only "multipleupload" or "multipleupload-toolbox" shows in the sidebar, you may have to navigate in your wiki to "Mediawiki:multipleupload" or "Mediawiki:multipleupload-toolbox" and create the pages with the messages that are already shown.
[edit] Options
- Configure $wgMaxUploadFiles in your local settings file, to determine the number of files accepted at once to upload. The default setting is 5. The $wgMaxUploadFiles statement must be made after the require_once call. For example:
require_once("$IP/extensions/MultiUpload/SpecialMultipleUpload.php"); $wgMaxUploadFiles = 10;
[edit] Messages
You can change the messages of this extension through pages of MediaWiki namespace starting with multipleupload. For example, [[MediaWiki:Multipleupload-text]] is the message displayed on MultipleUpload special page.
Other messages are: multipleupload / multipleupload-desc / multipleupload-ignoreallwarnings / multipleupload-saveallfiles / multipleupload-addresswarnings / multipleupload-page / multiupload-fileuploaded / multiupload-toolbox
