Hi there,

I'm having some trouble with uploading multiple files.

I can't seem to upload more than 5 files at once, it will upload like 3 or so and redirect before even ending the rest.
I've tested locally and online and it's not due to upload size limit or max file uploads but I can't get why it's behaving like this.

Any help would be sure welcome.

Please provide minimum info of your install and review server and browser error logs.

The server it's using PHP 5.2.17.

Here's the setup log:

It will be magic_quotes. Please disable that.

Disabled it but unfortunately that didn't resolved my problem.

EDIT:
Tried the flash uploader and it worked great. Is there any way to set it as default?

DOUBLE EDIT:
Nevermind, it sets automatically.

Which file upload methods have you tried? The redirection is an indication that the upload method said it was finished. If it is not flagging an error then we are pretty much at a loss to know why it is not uploading.

The only possible thing from your configuration would be the filesystem character set. (magic_quotes will not be involved!). The character set will matter only if you have diacritical marks in your filenames.

My bad, my collegue is of course right, magic quotes has nothing to do with this at all....not my day...

I've tried through FTP and the flash uploader both work correctly.
It's only the jquery method that doesn't work correctly, it's a pity though, as this is for a client and the jquery method it's the most intuitive.

I've tried files with and without special characters (âãáç) and the behaviour is the same.

Could it be anything related with post_max_size or upload_max_filesize?

Yes, it can be related to those but that normally would affect the flash uploader as well. Btw, how is that not intuitive? It works actually as on the normal desktop system by selecting several images. As a "workaround" it should not be that hard to guide your client to use that (you will have to tell him a little about using Zenphoto anyway, right?).

I'm not saying it's not intuitive but having the ability to drag images right into the upload spot increases usability. Also having a preview of the images selected it's a bonus if you decide to remove a certain image from the list.

The workaround will have to do meanwhile.

Ok, was just curious as I admit almost never having used the jquery upload which my collegue added to replace an older upload alternative. I personally use most always FTP directly.

When uploading multiple files with the jquery uploader, every time an upload completes the onComplete method is called. This function is resetting the file count so that the form is submitted the next time a file completes.

File:
zp-core/admin-httpupload/upload_form.php

Line 147:
filecount = 0;
beforesendcount = 0;
uploadcount = 0;
uploaderror = false;

Remove those lines and the feature acts as it should.
