The SimpleBatchUpload extension allows for basic, no-frills uploading of multiple files to MediaWiki at "Special:BatchUpload", using the jQuery File Upload JavaScript library.
Download
The recommended way to download this extension is by using Composer.
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"
}
}
Just run php composer to update the extension.phar update mediawiki/simple-batch-upload again.
Alternatively, you can download a tarball or zip file from GitHub and extract it into the extensions directory of your MediaWiki installation.
Installation
Add the following line to your "LocalSettings.php" file:
wfLoadExtension( 'SimpleBatchUpload' );
To make sure that SimpleBatchUpload has been installed correctly, check that an entry for it exists at Special:Version and that Special:BatchUpload is working.
Usage
There are four ways to upload files using this extension:
- Go to
Special:BatchUploadto get a plain upload page - Go to
Special:BatchUpload/Footo get an upload page that sets{{Foo}}as the wikitext of the uploaded file's page - Add
{{#batchupload:}}to any wikipage to get a simple upload button - Add
{{#batchupload:Foo|Bar|Baz}}to any wikipage to get an upload button that sets{{Foo|Bar|Baz}}as the wikitext of the uploaded file's page
Customization
It is possible to specify dedicated upload pages for 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:
- Name of the template to be stored as text on initial upload
- Upload comment
- Title line of the
Special:BatchUpload/subpagepage.
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 [[Extension:SimpleBatchUpload{{!}}SimpleBatchUpload]] | Upload some pics!
- This can be selected by going to
Special:BatchUpload/Pics. - The title of this page will be "Upload some pics!".
- The comment for the upload will be "These pics were uploaded using SimpleBatchUpload".
- If a file with that name is uploaded for the first time, it will have
{{Pics}}as wikitext.
Configuration
$wgSimpleBatchUploadMaxFilesPerBatch
Array defining the maximum number of files that can be uploaded each time depending on the user group. When a user is trying to upload larger batches of files, an error message is displayed.
Default:
$wgSimpleBatchUploadMaxFilesPerBatch = [
'*' => 1000,
];
Users can still use the regular file upload or the MediaWiki API.
For selectively blocking uploads see Manual:Configuring file uploads. For throttling uploads see $wgRateLimits.
