Need to upload multiple files
Hi,

Is there any built in CMS control to upload multiple files.
I see one in CMSDesk (Administration -> Users -> Mass Email).
Here I see file uploader control which uploads multiple files
I need to have same functionality in my page.

Thanks
Anshuman

Hello.

For uploading multiple attachments per document, you can use a field with following attributes:

Attribute type: Document attachments
Form control type: Uploader
Form control: Document attachments control

Hello.

Could you please refer to this article and read whole chapter about Document attachments? It deals with all supported types of attachments and describes available web parts and how to handle attachments in transformation.

RE:Need to upload multiple files
Maybe I'm wrong, but the article starts with You can display document's unsorted attachments by adding one of the following two controls directly into the transformations:....

Does it mean, we can use this sample transformation for Grouped attachments? How can we set e.g. Attachments group?

Thank you

Hi,

For grouped attachments you can use the web parts mentioned here at the bottom.

If you want to display the attachments in a transformation, you would need to make that web parts to be server controls and then use them in the transformation or, second option is to use the API and create e.g. a custom function for a transformation.
