Uploading Multiple Files

[joeboxer]

I want to enable registered members to upload multiple images and add them to their private albums or public albums. The group setting for registered users is "Public Allowed", "Personal Allowed", "File Uploaded 10".

The problem is after uploaded the multiple images, I need to fill out the "Place the files in albums" page individually for each image. This requires selecting the album and entering title, description, keyword, etc for each image one at a time.

I've tried the plugin for "jupload" it has potential, but find the java interface a bit tricky and not always cross-system/browser compatible.

So, is there a way to to have the scripts default the selections to those made for the last file? For example, image 2 would be pre-populated with the  album, title, description fields that were entered for image 1. The user could adjust fields as necessary and changes would be used on the next picture.

Alternatively, like "jupload" is there a way to edit the information for all the images on one page? This seems possible when selecting "Edit Files" at the album level.

Thanks for your assistance, Joe

Yes, I think I have posted this before. Try searching the board.

I'm surprised that this feature/option has not been built into 1.4

The thread you refer to has been posted after the initial release of cpg1.4.0 as a mod for the cpg1.4.x series. Therefor, it could only possibly go into future versions, i.e. cpg1.5.x. All cpg1.4.x releases (where x is the release count) are maintenance releases that don't contain new features but bug fixes only.
Saying "I'm surprised that software X doesn't contain feature Y" is not very helpful, as in "I'm surprised that MS Windows doesn't come with a built-in virus scanner" or "I'm surprised that a Mercedes doesn't come with a spare tire".

Applying the suggested mod to the core adds query load. I guess that's why it hasn't been implemented yet. Another possible reason might be that so far nobody has requested it.
