plone.formwidget.multifile 2.0

Usage

Using the widget is quite easy:

>>> from plone.directives import form as directivesform
>>> from plone.formwidget.multifile import MultiFileFieldWidget
>>> from plone.namedfile.field import NamedFile
>>> from zope import schema
>>> from zope.interface import Interface
>>>
>>> class IMySchema(Interface):
...     """My schema interface"""
...
...     directivesform.widget(files=MultiFileFieldWidget)
...     files = schema.List(title=u'Files',
...                         value_type=NamedFile())

Limitations

We do not yet support ordering. There is no fallback for non-html5, non-javascript browsers. They will only be able to upload 1 file at a time.

2.0 (2016-08-31)

Incompatibilities:

• Instead of zope.app.file.interfaces.IFile use plone.namedfile.interfaces.IFile. [thet]

• Fix missing Javascript call that breaks the widget [laulaz]

• Add French and Dutch translations [laulaz]

• Add travis & coveralls hook [tomgross]

• Plone 5.0 support [tomgross]

1.1 (2014-03-24)

• Added Spanish (es) and Basque (eu) translation [erral]

• Added PO file generation script [erral]

• Use similar pattern to plone.formwidget.namedfile for the data converter. [gaudenz]

• Add @@download BrowserView for file downloads [gaudenz]

• Base widget on z3c.form.widget.Widget instead of MultiWidget. The MultiWidget is for combining different widgets into one. [gaudenz]

• Don’t call update from render. This is not necessary and can lead to unwanted side-effects. [gaudenz]

• Extract FileUpload objects instead of relying on Widget.extract to do the mostly right thing. [gaudenz]

• Base files shown by the widget on the actual fields content instead of a mixture of request data and converter magic. [gaudenz]

• Improve input template and JavaScript

  • Append file inputs below the file list to not overwrite existing files

  • Remove Hacks for IE7. They no longer work with recent jQuery versions and IE7 is mostly irrelevant by now.

  • Use standard file input widget instead of custom add link. This is what people expect and as a bonus is already translated. If people want custom links they can still override the template.

  • Integrate not yet uploaded files into the same file list. [gaudenz]

• Add german translation [gaudenz]

1.0a6 (2013-01-22)

• Fixed bug: “add files” link was opening multiple file dialogs. [rafaelbco]

• Fixed bug: bugfix of the previous release didn’t work on IE 7. [rafaelbco]

1.0a5 (2013-01-21)

• Fixed bug on IE: When an file-input is opened via a scripted, forced click() event, IE won’t let you submit the form. [rafaelbco]

• Updated pt_BR translation. [rafaelbco]

1.0a4 (2012-12-20)

• Updated URL on setup.py [rafaelbco]

1.0a3 (2012-12-20)

• Changed the UI so now there’s a link to “add files” instead of an standard input[type=file] HTML element (which still exists, but is hidden). Users were complaining that the old UI was confusing since the textbox of the input[type=file] element was always empty. [rafaelbco]

1.0a2 (2012-12-20)

• Removed integration with jQuery plugin. Instead we use HTML and javascript, and when applicable, the “multiple” extension from HTML5 which lets a user upload multiple files at once. [tmog]

• Fix minor bugs on the new non-flash implementation. [rafaelbco]

• Removed dependency on plone.app.drafts. [rafaelbco]

1.0a1 (2011-09-13)

• Initial release
