SMF Development > Applied or Declined Requests

[Request] Multiple attachments at once !!!

(1/9) > >>

die2mrw007:
I searched the Mods site of SMF and around all SMF modification sites like SMF hacks, SMF packs, etc but couldnt get a mod which could do this job.

Is there any mod to attach multiple files at once ? Like a flash based attachment option when a user click on browse and he/she be able to select multiple files from the browse window. Its difficult to attach each single file in each attachment field. I wanted something like, after clicking on the attachment field, it should be able to select multiple files to be uploaded at once.

Please accept this request and include this feature in future SMF releases.

Kindred:
well, flash is not the best way to do anything on a site anymore... (yes, apple has killed it)

I can see this as being a little bit useful - but only in certain circumstances. Most forums don't seem to have a trouble with the way attachments are handled (single selection) and this is the first request for this that we have seen...

Many forums running SMF are actually in need of this feature but as it isnt termed to be that important feature (without this too the work is done). So none bothers to make a voice supporting this feature.
Yes, flash is discontinued...so maybe HTML5 could replace it ?
The said feature makes a valid point to look after as many other forum platforms are offering it. I dont want SMF to lag behind anymore. I love SMF a lot and its developers and team who is working behind SMF platform !!!

If it cant be implemented as core default, atleast a plugin should be made available !!!

well, I agree that it could be useful - but only in certain circumstances.... I can count on one hand, the number of times over the last 8 years that I have run a forum, that I would have any use for this....
(which is not to say it's a bad idea, just one that I don't think is as "needed" as you think)

That being said, I'll let the developers weigh in... but it's unlikely to be a feature for the next release.

If you would like to encourage a mod author to try to make a mod/plug-in for it, then please - by all means - post in the mod requests board. :)

Rather than being included in some Mods, it would be better if it will be present in the Future releases :)
