The MultiUpload extension allows users to upload more than one file at a time. It also unpacks package files (.zip, .tar, .tar.gz, and .tgz), allowing the files found in the package to be uploaded to the wiki.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called MultiUpload in your extensions/ folder.

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

  wfLoadExtension( 'MultiUpload' );
  

• Y Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

For this extension to work, you have to have already allowed uploads on your wiki, see Manual:Configuring file uploads.

Options

Creating links to the extension

In the sidebar

To add a link to the sidebar by editing MediaWiki:Sidebar, adding a new line:

** Special:MultiUpload|multiupload ("upload files")

or

** Special:MultiUpload|multiupload-toolbox ("Upload multiple files").

In both examples of adding links to this extension in MediaWiki:Sidebar, 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.

Replacing 'Upload file' with MultiUpload in the sidebar

In the LocalSettings.php file, right below the last require_once line add:

$wgUploadNavigationUrl = "{$wgScriptPath}/index.php?title=Special:MultiUpload";
