[BETA] Multi-file uploads

Yes, you read that right. You can now upload multiple files at once to the gallery, something I know some (all?) of you have wanted since this site started. I did not really plan on doing this until the next major revision of the forum software the gallery is based on, but it now looks like that could still take some time.

The gallery software/mod really wasn't built for this (I would probably have been better of rewriting all of it from scratch, but that's not happening until well after FluxBB 1.3 is released) but after some large rewrites of the code it now looks to be working as it should. I'm still labeling it beta though, because I'm not convinced that it's done until it's been tested in a live environment by the members here. If you upload a batch of images, I'd really appreciate it if you could take the time to provide me with some feedback on how it worked for you.

Should you encounter a problem, please make a note of:

- How to duplicate the problem.
- What error message, if any, did you get?
- How many, and what was the format and size of the images you tried uploading? (Remember that the maximum allowed filesize is still 5 MB for each image).
- If you have any additional information that you think is relevant, please post that as well.

Enjoy! smile

Re: [BETA] Multi-file uploads

UPDATE: Wrote some new functions for the gallery that will check if the image you are uploading already exists (been posted by you or someone else). If it does, it will not be posted but you will instead be provided with a link to the existing image. If you are uploading several images, and some exists in the gallery and some are new, the new images will get posted and the existing ones ignored (but you will of course be offered links to them in this case as well).

Re: [BETA] Multi-file uploads

Well, seeing as I haven't recieved a single bug report I suppose it's working as it should. Because of this, I'm closing this topic for now. If you encounter any problems in the future, please create a new topic in the "Feedback, bug reports & feature requests" forum.
