I'm new to Drupal 7. I want to set up my content types to have the ability to add multiply attachments, sort of a document repository. I was able to figure out how to add a single attachment field, but I'll be darned if i can't figure out how to add more or multiple attachments at the same time.

I seem to recall that previous versions of Drupal had an add attachment feature to each content node build in automatically even if you had to add one at a time...

any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe this won't help but if you go to structure ---> content types. Then go to whatever content type you want to add an attachment to and then go to manage fields. For instance for my basic page type I added a file field and file widget through the manage fields interface. There you can configure what type of files to upload and how many files can be uploaded.

yes, thats how you can add one file to a page. i'm looking to add more then a single file to a node and more then one at a time... not sure if i'm explaining this correctly.

When you add the file type it should give you the option to specify how many files can be attached to the node.

I'm not sure what you mean by "more than one at a time" - if you want to drag & drop files then you may need something like Media Gallery with PLUpload.

Yes, there is option to define how many file attachments might be for each content.
Still, in Drupal 6 this was far easier for working, after any attached files, the new same option would appear.
Also, the full link path was above the attachment and was easier to put it in the content.
All together, it was more user friendly to work with attachments and pictures.
