Hello, if you look at this site's classified ad section:

http://www.thebeijinger.com/node/add/classified-ad-housing

You'll see at the bottom they allow photos to be uploaded one by one, depending on how many the user has to upload. Currently I have a similar form, but my form lists 6 file fields all at once. What is the beijinger using to allow users to upload one at a time?

The solution I want is similar to how Gmail handles file attachments as well.

I have imagecache, imagefield, filefiled installed.

Thanks! Also, if there is specifically a 'how-to' forum, please point me in the right direction.

ACTUALLY - as I was just about to hit submit on this listing, I noticed exactly what I'm looking for is being used by Drupal.org at the end of this form. How is it done? Do I need to configure something differently?

The Beijinger site is using Drupal 5 ImageField. The Drupal.org site is just using upload.module that comes with core. There is a feature request to CCK to adjust the number of fields shown in #320313: CCK multiple values: two empty fields showing up - make it one or none?.

I agree that'd it'd be nice to have this same functionality as Drupal 5's approach (single upload field, no matter how many elements) but it would require a completely different widget and we'd need to manage rearranging element order ourselves instead of relying on CCK. Currently there isn't a timeline to develop a new widget like this.

This request is essentially identical to #427834: Usability improvement suggestion, which requires the same functionality. It's unlikely to be developed in Drupal 6, but the new core Image module for Drupal 7 should hopefully gain this functionality in #520782: Make a better widget for "multiple" values.
