Multiple File Upload - send as attachment

Here is a file to start from: http://blaeul.de/multifile.zip

Extract both files in the archive in your modules/webform/components directory, and a new multifile type will be available when you create new components for a webform.

Maybe it'll find its way into the webform module. The javascript is from http://www.fyneworks.com/jquery/multiple-file-upload, the Drupal code by myself.

Edit: This component was developed for webform 2.9. It likely works with all 2.x versions of webform, which are now considered insecure. The fix from #7 below has been included in the zip download above.

Moving to 3.x since no new features are being added to 2.x. A note that in 3.x, there is now a public API for providing components, meaning this could possibly be an add-on module to Webform rather than being bundled in it, though either way it'll need updating for the new APIs.

Subscribing.

Does this work for 3.x, because I do not see a new "multifile" type on my form's components page nor Webform config after adding those two files to modules/webform/components..?

Any components that were written for 2.x will not work with 3.x, as we've had some pretty major API changes.

#1: works great, only problem is the link to the file because the language is added in front of the URL
quick fix, line 538

        $form_item['#suffix'] .= ' ' . l($filedata->filename, $filedata->filepath, array('language' => ''));

Cant get this working with Drupal 6.19 and webform 6.x.3.2
Anyone know how?

Hi!

I downloaded the file you mention (multifile.zip) and extracted to /modules/webform/components directory but I cannot see the multifile option in the listbox type in a webform.
I don't know what it is wrong. I hope you could help me because I am getting crazy with this.
Thanks,

subscribe :)
limited results here. It appears i can add files, but they do not get saved on the server. in order to add the new multifile type i added:

    'multifile' => array(
      'label' => t('MultiFile'),
      'description' => t('Allow users to upload multiple files of configurable types.'),
      'features' => array(
        'conditional' => FALSE,
        'attachment' => TRUE,
      ),
      'file' => 'components/multifile.inc',
    ),

to the webform.module file.

any clue on how to make sure files are saved?

i added a files and paste codes to webform.module but it doesn't attach files... is there anybody who know how to save submitted files?

Really Excellant work Christian Bläul (Gogowitsch), never seen sofar for past 3weeks. looking for same kind of functionality.
i tried with the source provided,i m using 6.20. files are not getting uploaded.

i m trying to create a webform in which some fields like fieldset/textfield. I want to provide a provision with "+Add another" button to users to add rather than limited fields.

could anybody guide me in this.

Thanks in advance.

Let's keep the priority at what the priority is for Webform as a whole, not for what you need on an individual site. This is still a low priority overall and unlikely to be included any time soon.

I would say this is extremely important and needed. I added 4 file uploads to my form but only one shows up? WTH?

will it work in D7 with webform-7.x-3.x.

I needed this for a project, so I've implemented an initial module to handle the multifile uploads here: http://drupal.org/sandbox/hadsie/1143186. It's still very untested but I plan to promote it to a full project in the next little while.

I essentially copied the file component from the webform module and then made it work in a very similar fashion to the original multifile component from comment #1. It seems to be working relatively nicely for me so far.

I also had old webform submissions that used the multifile component from #1 so I've written some code to convert the data from the 2.x multifile to this multifile field. It can be run at the path /webform_multifile_convert_data but be careful as it could still destroy your data :).

hadsie, you are a life saver! I'm using your module now and it seems to be working great. Thank you very much! I think you should definitely put this on the main d.o module lists as it's extremely helpful (and most people don't know how to checkout git projects)!

Hadsie, you can probably save my life, i downloaded you module, but I can't get work. I have these errors:

Did you have the same errors ksweet ?
Please help :)
Thanks in advance

A bit of a late comer on this one, but might I suggest moving from a webform to creating a node with multiple file upload and giving permission to anonymous users?

... this it probably a suggestion for others looking at the thread later.

I found that the transliteration module make this module to works :). Thank you very much anyway

I have this working properly. well at least the option shows up and the selecting of files and everything is working. But it will not save the files to disk. Or display them in the emails that are received or when viewing the results of the form. Is there something that I am missing here?

is there a way to get a download of the module, I do not know how to get it out of a git project?
thanks
I really need this type of functionality for web form in ver 3, and drupal 6

Hey Guys,

I'm not using the webform module for the project anymore which is why I've not grown the multiupload plugin at all. If someone wants to take it on into a full project please do so.

Cheers,
Scott

FYI: I created a full project for this, if any one wants to help feel free: http://drupal.org/project/webform_multifile

For the moment there's no way to send the attachment by email, since the code used to attach the file assumes a a $fid as parameter, which we don't have (we have an serialized array)

        if ($email['attachments']) {
          webform_component_include('file');
          foreach ($node->webform['components'] as $component) {
            if (webform_component_feature($component['type'], 'attachment') && !empty($submission->data[$component['cid']]['value'][0])) {
              $file = webform_get_file($submission->data[$component['cid']]['value'][0]); // <== Doesn't work
              if ($file) {
                $attachments[] = $file;
              }
            }
          }
        }

I'll try to fix it

I added a new 'hook' _webform_get_files_component, is the hook doesn't exists the old method is used.

Could you open a new issue for this patch? It's not a bug as Webform doesn't advertise providing this ability, though it's clearly a limitation that it has special handling for the file component.

done #1363414: Add new webform callback to allow custom components to attach multiple files

see also #1363416: Send files as attachment

#37 is fixed, so should work with Webform Multiple File Upload , see #1363416: Send files as attachment
