Uploading complete folders

Hi Nigel,

Am I missing something, or couldn't you set your upload field for unlimited uploads and upload size (or limit either to a particular number), specify the file types that can be uploaded, and use a foreach loop to display the files and links in a viewer?

Hi, Jerry.

Yes, that works to a certain extent, but what I was hoping for is an easy way to maintain the directory structure with all the files inside it. Even with a multiple upload field - as you suggested - the client would need to go into each individual project folder, select all (Ctrl + A). However, it wouldn't enable people to see which files belong with which project.

Does that make sense? http://www.commonsensedesign.net/newsDetail.php?Nith-Valley-Construction-25

If each project is a separate record, then the detail page could show only those files (and links) belonging to that record, no?

I can't think of a simple approach to eliminate the CTL+A, and I'm sure it gets dicier when there are sub directories involved.

Do they do this for a large number of projects?

I'm sure that the consulting team could streamline the process if you needed them to. (They seem to be able to perform all kinds of magic)

Hi Nigel,

Did you ever get this sorted out? If so, how...
