Description

I am using the WebForm module to allow anonymous guests to the website upload files. They are usually pdfs and some may have 1 and some may have 8. The Webform Module works great, I just would like an option to add another file. Kind of like the attachments portion. I have noticed there is a components directory so if anyone has any ideas of how to make a component or has the patience to work me through creating one, I would be more than happy to help. It seems like there must be some way to make this happen.

I have read through articles about doing this with CCK but I have no idea how to get that to work, Webform seems much simpler and does what I need , I just need to modify it a bit, Any help would be appreciated!

I would love to do it, and make it themeable, so it looks neat. Proposed features:

  • an 'Add file' button
  • a list of files already added to the form
  • a delete button for every file, so that surfers can undo their mistakes.
  • All files will be deleted when the form submission or the form itself is deleted, just as it is the case for the single-line component.

This all would cost me approximately two weeks as it is a tough task (evil IE6), and I'll start as soon as 10% (120 $) of this ChipIn are reached:

The webform component will be made available as free under the GNU licence.

Please feel free to suggest features or options you'd like to see.
