Allows for basic, no-frills uploading of multiple files
OTHER License
The SimpleBatchUpload extension provides basic, no-frills uploading of multiple files to MediaWiki.
It is maintained by Professional.Wiki. Contact us for commercial support or development work.
You need use Composer to install this extension. Just add the
following to the MediaWiki "composer.local.json" file and run
php composer.phar update mediawiki/simple-batch-upload
from the MediaWiki
installation directory.
{
"require": {
"mediawiki/simple-batch-upload": "^2.0"
}
}
Then add the following line to your "LocalSettings.php" file:
wfLoadExtension( 'SimpleBatchUpload' );
Note: To use the extension the user needs the writeapi
right. This is the
default MediaWiki setting for registered users, but it may have been changed
during the configuration of the wiki.
There are four ways to upload files using this extension:
{{Foo}}
as{{#batchupload:}}
to any wikipage to get a simple upload button{{#batchupload:Foo|Bar|Baz}}
to any wikipage to get an upload button{{Foo|Bar|Baz}}
as the wikitext of the uploaded file's pageIt is possible to specify dedicated parameter sets for the upload of specific file types by editing the MediaWiki:Simplebatchupload-parameters page. Each line of that page is considered as one set of parameters.
Available parameters are:
Parameters should be separated by pipes (|).
The line to be used is selected by appending the name of the template as the subpage to the URL of the Special:BatchUpload page.
Example:
Consider the parameter line
Pics | These pics were uploaded using [[mw:Extension:SimpleBatchUpload{{!}}SimpleBatchUpload]] | Upload some pics!
{{Pics}}
as wikitext.Available configuration options:
$wgSimpleBatchUploadMaxFilesPerBatch
- Array defining the maximum number of$wgSimpleBatchUploadMaxFilesPerBatch = [
'*' => 1000,
];
Note: Be aware that this is not the right setting to completely block file uploads! Users can still use the normal file upload or the MediaWiki API. See the paragraph on user permissions on Configuring file uploads on mediawiki.org.
