View Full Version : Bulk Attachment Upload Modification?

Ok seriously, I've searched and I feel like this is something that should be obvious or at least discussed but appears not to be as much as I expected. But is there a mod anywhere that allows multiple, batch, attachment uploads to a post? For example: I open up manage attachments, click browse and instead of being limited to selecting 1 image or file I can select multiple. This would be super handy in avoiding the tedious process involved in uploading 1 image at a time, clicking each individually and so on and so forth.
Thanks ahead of time for any responses.

That's not what he wanted, he wants to be able to click browse and multi select a large number of attachments at once without having to browse and select one at a time.

Well its still does the same thing. Uploading more than one.

I don't think a mod can be made for the request, my way of doing the same is to ftp multiple files as large as a couple gigs to a directory and put links to them in a post.
Attachment manager will allow a max of 10 upload boxes at a time. with a little adjusting I have been able to upload 250 meg files. You could winrar or zip multiples into one compressed file and upload that way. I have posts that contain 7.4 gigs of attachments each. Hope this helps.

Yeah, we already allow 10 uploads at a time but it just is too frustrating for members who are dumping hundreds of images at a time to have to individually select each one. The point of it is basically to use the forum threads as galleries, sort of, but with the ease of quicker uploading.
I wish this were easier said than done. :(

I hear ya... Imageshack is an option, saves on server space too.

Problem is I pay for ample server space so my users can have it conveniently at their fingertips. Poo diddly.
