I'm building a custom settings form in Drupal 7, with an image upload field. This image field should allow multiple uploads.
After some research I found out you can do this with managed_file
and '#attributes' => array('multiple' => 'multiple')
. However this doesn't seem to do anything.
This is the code I currently have:
$form['frontpage_banner_images'] = array(
'#type' => 'managed_file',
'#title' => t('Frontpage Images'),
'#name' => 'files[]',
'#attributes' => array(
'multiple' => 'multiple',
'class' => 'testclass',
),
'#upload_location' => 'public://homepage-banners/',
'#default_value' => variable_get('frontpage_banner_images'),
);
With this as result:
<div class="form-item form-type-managed-file form-item-files-">
<label for="edit-frontpage-banner-images-upload">Frontpage Images</label>
<div id="edit-frontpage-banner-images-upload" class="testclass form-managed-file">
<input type="file" id="edit-frontpage-banner-images-upload" name="files[frontpage_banner_images]" size="22" class="form-file">
<input type="submit" id="edit-frontpage-banner-images-upload-button" name="frontpage_banner_images_upload_button" value="Upload" class="form-submit ajax-processed">
<input type="hidden" name="frontpage_banner_images[fid]" value="0">
</div>
</div>
As you can see, the testclass
from my #attributes
is being applied on the wrapping div
and not on the file input. So the multiple
attribute isn't doing anything.
This is what I'm trying to achieve (Photoshopped):
Any help on how to achieve this is appreciated.
The multiple option does not seem to be supported. Then again you are using it under the #attributes. This would cause IMO the html element to have an atttribute multiple, but I don't see anything in /modules/file/file.js to pick up on that, so that's presumably why it's not doing anything. You're probably better off using plupload, as suggested here.
