Extension:MultiUpload

Warning: Use this extension at your own risk. Version 1.0 doesn't check if the target filename exists and just overwrites existing files. There might be other risky settings compared to Special:Upload.

The MultiUpload extension allows users to upload more than one file at a time, it tries to reuse as much functionality in Special:Upload as possible.

Important: To use this extension with MediaWiki 1.11 you have to use revision 29805 or later. To use the extension with earlier versions of MediaWiki, use revision 28586.

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
 * 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.

Options

 * Configure $wgMaxUploadFiles in you local settings file, to determine the number of files accepted at once to upload. The default setting is 5.
