Improvements
This extensions seems quite useful. Nice work! A few suggestions for improvements : --Morten Blaabjerg 13:59, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Allow for full customizability & multilingual support - i.e. no text messages in the php file itself - but everything in the database
 * Allow for user to specify how many uploads are needed
 * Allow user to specify the same description/summary for all uploads (checkbox)

Looks nice, but the source seems to be offline at the moment. I would like to see a batch upload via a multi-select box.24.177.55.8 23:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it works on the latest version of Mediawiki 1.9.3...I get an error (unexpected T_Require_Once) error when requiring it. --66.31.65.129 02:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Guys...stupid question...how do you actually use this extension in a Wiki page ? tried writing  and several other combinations, but they were not interpreted by Wiki (in other words, it didn;t work :p). Can anybody shed some light ? thanks :) --86.121.11.70 00:51, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * in the 'search' field enter Special:MultipleUpload .. should work --Dtsig 16:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * or edit MediaWiki:Sidebar: add . Great extension BTW, thanks to the author! --86.59.60.209 21:51, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

How to replace 'Upload file' with ' Upload files' in the Toolbox menu?
Any suggestions on how to replace 'Upload file' with ' Upload files' in the Toolbox menu? I would like to use MultiUpload by default, but I see no way to edit the toolbox. Thanks.

This probably isn't the best way, but if you edit LocalSettings.php and add the line: $wgUploadNavigationUrl = '/index.php/Special:MultipleUpload'; That should alter the "Upload file" URL to point at the right special page. If you look in languages/messages/MessagesEn.php you should fine a couple of entries which use the text "Upload file", I think one is for the Toolbox link and the other is for the form button. Changing this text to "Upload files" seems to do the trick. Note that this will also change the text on the button used on the Special:Upload page too.

SVN Problems
When trying to d/l, I get: $ svn co http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/MultiUpload svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/MultiUpload' svn: PROPFIND of '/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/MultiUpload': 301 Moved (http://svn.wikimedia.org)

Upload Files from URL
Does anyone know how easy it would be to retrofit an Upload form like this to accept input in the form of online images or other files (ie, http://example.com/image.jpg)? -Blckdmnd99 17:40, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
