feature request: file upload "multiple"

The file upload action should have a "multiple" option

<input type="file" name="uploads" multiple>


Pretty much all browsers support it and fallback is very easy, since the multiple attribute would be simply ignored.

Hello Joomladude,

In the interim, have you looked at Simple File Upload v1.3 (for Joomla 3). It is simple to use and supports multiple file uploads. You can dictate in the module a maximum number of files as well as a max size. I have used it with regular articles as well as with K2 items. I'm not sure how you would add it to a Chronoform but I suppose you could use a custom code with a loadposition if custom code supports this. GreyHead or Max will know if this is feasible.

Just a thought.

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?

btw, for now you can add this to the "Extra params" box:
multiple=multiple

Would the file upload action be able to handle the input? I will try that again.

No it will not, it doesn't handle array fields at the moment, I have added this to the next update as well!

I thought so. Thanks, for considering this. Anyway, I am looking forward to the new version. Chronoforms v5 is fantastic :-)
