Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.The File module of Drupal 7 enables you to select only one file at a time which can be very time consuming in case of many files. The MFW module uses the 'multiple' attribute of html5 to overcome this problem and presents a widget called 'Multiple' that can be used with fields of type File.
As many sites use filefield (and imagefield, see below) this funcionality is very much asked for in many issue queues of related modules and also forums. I could not find any module that can substitute it.

Don't know if this should be part of the application or not, but my MIW module below does the same for Imagefield. It depends on MFW.

svendecabooterCan you elaborate on how this is different from the Pluploadmodule?
Perhaps joined efforts would be a better approach here
Comment #3
czigor commentedHi, thanks for answering.
MFW is a drupal 7 module. I think the D7 version of plupload does not do anything in itself. At least it says so on the project page ("So far, the 7.x version is completely different. You only need the 7.x version if another module tells you to download it.") and I could not find any added functionality after enabling it either.

Interested in uploading more than 1 file (I see this as very important)

Sorry, I did not want to change "Component" :(

gregglesSince this doesn't use the Plupload.com widget I don't think it's a duplicate of the Plupload module.
It provides a similar feature, but does so in a unique way that has some pros compared to plupload.

Bojhan commentedSo... why not RTBC :)?
/me totally shortcuts the application process, since it doesn't work anyway.

gregglesbzzzzzt. denied.
The branch shouldn't be master, but 6.x-1.x or 7.x-1.x or something. It would be ideal to add a README.txt and better description on the project page.
I didn't notice anything that looks bad, but it could use an actual test.

czigor commentedThanks for your reviews!
I have renamed the branch. README.txt added. Test likewise.

klausiLooks pretty ready to me, some additional minor stuff:
* Remove old CVS $Id tag from mfw.js
* be consistent with your function names: either everything is prefixed with mfw, then your module name should be mfw. Or you choose the longer version, then every function needs to use the longer prefix. Avoids name space clashes.
