Batch Upload Plugin

Attach multiple files at once by uploading a zip archive. All files in the zip file will be attached to the topic.

Usage

  • Enable this plugin - Test: No BatchUploadPlugin is not enabled. Enable this plugin below.
  • Attach a zip file to a topic
    • If a comment is entered with the zip file, the comment will be assigned to all contained files

Plugin Settings

  • Debug plugin
    • Set DEBUG = 0
  • Enabled state - if disabled, does nothing
    • Set ENABLED = 1
  • Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Attach multiple files at once by uploading a zip archive

Plugin settings are stored as preferences variables. To reference a plugin setting write %<plugin>_<setting>%, e.g., %BATCHUPLOADPLUGIN_SHORTDESCRIPTION%

Caveats

  • Doesn't carry through the hide or link flags
  • Contents of nested zips will only be attached partially

Further Development

  • Support nested zips
  • Support hide and link attributes

If a comment is entered when uploading a zip, the comment text will be assigned to all new attachments. After successful upload you will no longer see an error screen.
