Cannot upload more than one file

  • I installed the plugin, added multifile to my form using the form-tag generator, but when I test the form, I’m unable to upload more than one file. The file gets emailed as an attached zip, but I the form doesn’t allow me to select more than one file when uploading. What am I missing?

  • Hey Joe:

    Did you try doing the multi selection using the shift and control key combinations?
    I too assumed that you select one file, then it allows you to add another and another and so on… however, it works by selecting multiple files when browsing the source folder. Try it that way.

    Yep, that’s it. Not quite what I was expecting, but it works. Thanks!

    It’s not very intuitive and hardly any casual user is going to figure that out. Glad to see you got it though. Maybe the author will take note.

    Just to give some insight, this is implemented by the browser, not the website or plugin author. Each browser handles file select and multi-file select a little differently, but most require you to hold a hot-key to select multiples. It works in much the same way your OS file browser does, except it lacks the click+drag feature to select multiple items. FWIW I do agree that it’s not the best, most intuitive solution, it’s just the current industry standard.
