Multi-File Uploads

Multi-file uploads are handled by Plupload. Please follow the following excerpt from README.txt

Plupload (latest release, 7.x-1.0-beta2)
- First, download the module from http://drupal.org/project/plupload and
unpack it in your contributed modules directory (usually
sites/all/modules).
- Next, download the Plupload JavaScript library from
http://www.plupload.com (latest release, tested with 1.4.2).
- Unzip this library inside your Plupload module directory (e.g., inside
sites/all/modules/plupload, so that in the end there is a
sites/all/modules/plupload/plupload directory containing the library).
See the Plupload module's README.txt file for up-to-date instructions.

I think the requested feature is to add multi-file for multimedia fields. Is this correct?

I believe you filed this somewhere else, can you link to that one, rename and close this as a dupe if that is the case?

The original post here doesn't make that very clear. can someone create a new issue and perhaps post a patch (or if you don't know how to patch, just the text to add / change)? I'll happily commit it?

I enabled the plupload module and downloaded the plupload library.
Yet I don't get to see the multi-file upload feature in Chrome, Firefox or Explorer.

New version fixes it. When you install it you need to make sure the version of plupload you download is supported by the module (not newer than the module in my case).

I'm probably just too dense here, but my concept of multi-file upload is that I can point to a directory on my computer and have the module upload all those images (or the ones I select) without having to "browse" or select them one-by-one. This is not happening. It looks like maybe the "library" option is close, but that requires that the files already be uploaded (FTP perhaps?). I am not giving FTP access to any of my users.

NancyDru, through plupload it is possible to upload several files at once without "one after another". See comment #1.

I installed this module with PLUpload, and it is still one file at a time. Maybe I am missing something? Do I have to change something in the Gallery content type?

Several here have no problem with it, so go straight ahead with this instructions:

- First, download the module from http://drupal.org/project/plupload and unpack it in your contributed modules directory (usually sites/all/modules).
- Next, download the Plupload JavaScript library from http://www.plupload.com
- Unzip this library inside your Plupload module directory (e.g., inside sites/all/modules/plupload, so that in the end there is a
sites/all/modules/plupload/plupload directory containing the library).

See the Plupload module's README.txt file for up-to-date instructions.

Your instructions are not what is in my copy of the README file (to use sites/all/libraries), so you might want to update that. When I moved the library, it started working.

I just gave this a go, and everything works flawlessly :)

Follow the plupload readme file, and you shouldn't have any issues.
