Done

A great extension, but unfortunately unmainted and now, with MediaWiki 1.34, it isn't working any longer. :-(

For applications where you want a quick upload to a private Wiki this extension might be a '''much''' better alternative. It has less complexity (and thus less bugs), it does not require editor integration, the workflow is much faster and the UI is lean. It might be worth checking it out.

https://github.com/j-yun/mediawiki-extension-QuickUploadZone

I see an extension which is far more likely to have security issues than this one: it's only had three commits, there's a single fork which appears to have been created by accident, there are no reported issues, and there's virtually no documentation. The presence of a minified JS file (modules/clipboad.min.js) without an unminified version available for inspection is suspicious as well.

Hi. I'm not getting multi upload working. When I load the SpecialPage I get some text telling me about the type of files I can upload and under that is a spinner which must be running on Duracel because it just keeps on going.

The same is happening to me - the page is http://coasterpedia.net/wiki/Special:MultiUpload and I'm running 1.23.0 - does anyone have a fix?

I managed to get it working using the GIT master rather than the extension distributor. No idea why this worked but it did.

I too am getting the spinning wheel in IE8. Seems to be a javascript error. Browser Mode IE8, Document Mode: IE8 Standards

LOG: Exception thrown by special.upload.patched TypeError: Object doesn't support this property or method

Tried IE8 Compatibility mode - no change.

If I set Document Mode to IE7 Standards or Quirks mode, no spinners, and it works but this error:

Expected identifier, string or number load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=ext.multiupload.top%7Cjquery.client%2Ccookie%2CmwExtension%2Cthrottle-debounce%7Cmediawiki.legacy.ajax%2Cwikibits%7Cmediawiki.notify%2Ctoc%2Cutil%7Cmediawiki.page.startup%7Cskins.vector.js&skin=vector&version=20140825T193003Z&*, line 1 character 515

Works great in Chrome of course.

MediaWiki 1.23.2

I have this on 1.27 also after migrating from 1.24. If you refresh the page you can see the form loading, especially in Firefox but also in Chrome. The spinner then takes over.

I found a replacement for MultiUpload, discussion here: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:T7yx4mwklvybsklp&topic_showPostId=tap1hr0ekmr5ozz0#flow-post-tap1hr0ekmr5ozz0.

The replacement is called SimpleBatchUpload, and can be found here: https://github.com/s7eph4n/SimpleBatchUpload.

Upon accessing Special:SpecialPages, it thows: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class SpecialMultiUpload in /home/www/lib/mediawiki-1.25.1/extensions/MultiUpload/SpecialMultiUpload.php on line 120

Hi.

I've fixed this errors with this patch, preventing the class to be loaded again:

This seems to fix the form display, but sadly still do not works.

When trying to upload files, I always get the error:

The file you uploaded seems to be empty. This might be due to a typo in the filename. Please check whether you really want to upload this file.

I'm not able to find the problem. The debug information:

Same error I have here,

MediaWiki version 1.25,

MultiUpload version 1.25 MultiUpload: REL1_25 2015-06-16T21:13:04

db0c9d4

The solution seems more simple:

Comment out this line in MultiUpload.php by adding a # character in front of it:

$wgAutoloadClasses['FauxWebRequestUpload'] = __DIR__ . '/SpecialMultiUpload.php';

Once done, it works for me.

That got me past the error also. Now have to fix forever spinning gif.

For me, the error was, when accessing http://<mymediawikiinstallation>:Especial:PáginasEspeciales

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class SpecialMultiUpload in /var/www/mediawiki-1.25.2/extensions/MultiUpload/SpecialMultiUpload.php on line 0

The solution I found from @Ciencia Al Poder's:

sudo sed -i "s/\(\$wgSpecialPages\['MultiUpload'\] = 'SpecialMultiUpload';\)/# \1/" /var/www/mediawiki-1.25.2/extensions/MultiUpload/MultiUpload.php

I think it's easy, just need to add more URL upload bar.

May be you need to find whether the system use URL upload.

This post was posted by Peachey88, but signed as 晒太阳的冰.

I want bulkupload image by URL too.

The problem occurs when a user tries to upload multiple files and mistakenly adds one file twice. Then you get a warning that the file already exist, but after uploading other files. Then weird thing happen and notices/warning are thrown at you (if you happen to have notices on in PHP config). Looks like a bug.

Just add the below to multiupload.js and you are ready to go.

// should probably be in i18n
wgAddMoreName = 'Add next file'; // en
//wgAddMoreName = 'Dodaj następny plik'; // pl
/**
 * Enable showing one file at first and add more
 *
 * This will hide all files input but the first one
 * and will add an add more button.
 *
 * @note $wgMaxUploadFiles param sets maximum number of files uploaded at once

Regards,

This post was posted by Peachey88, but signed as Nux.

Just edited (added the hide-setup function behind the normal setup) multiupload.js but did not affected anything. I still have my maxupload fields (I use default which is 5- therfore not explicit value in wgMaxUpload in LocalSettings). I wanted to try that to see if i can get rid of the warnings in case you only upload one and not the max number allowed.

Is adding the function to multiupload.js the really the only thing to do?

I must be missing something here. I appended the above code to the end of the .js but I didn't see what apparently is working... am I supposed to search and replace? Or is there a specific line it should be inserted at?

Fixed above. As seems HTML changed. And yes - you just paste the code at the end of "multiupload.js" (this is AFTER `addOnloadHook( wgUploadSetup );`).

Excellent, it works! Thx.

Reiteration!!!

This extension DOES HAVE SEVERE MEDIA RELATED VULNERABILITIES and is advise against installing unto your hard drive.

Problems: This extension has a HIGH LEVEL VULNERABILITY(HLV) to parser based attacks and a high propensity to become susceptible to HTTP/Directory events and server-related incidents. Probable causes that may contribute to these errors would be heavy media loads or other upload content already on the server. Various MW 1.19 directory files, especially maintenance files such as HipHop have been known to cause extensive server related incompatibility issues.

Another possible approach in recognizing the problems may be in the GIT repository, whereby older extensions (possibly over 90%) of the GIT populated files may have compatibility issues due to maintenance updates. The repository hosts multiple types of files for download (zip, 7z, tar, etc.) from which possible vulnerability attacks may be instigated. Accordingly, a growing number of inclusion files are being targeted for removal from the repository; due to the High Level Vulnerability ratings and lack of supported extension content such as variable/parser functions.

Solution:

As of Habatchii (talk) 17:33, 30 July 2012 (UTC); the most effective solution for the vulnerability issue is to contact the [desk] and

1. Notify of attacks against one or more of your sites
2. Request for Review of the GIT process
3. Apply to one or more volunteer programs to police known HLV extensions
4. Use existing templates to document as many broken or vandalized extensions possible
5. Maintain and adopt extensions that you can modify to re-submit to the repository.
6. Arrange for discussion page conferences such as this to be included in a final petition for review.

Additional Solutions:

• for maintainers and authors
• commit request
• pre-commit checklist

If I upload a zipfile with a bunch of images, the filesize of all but one file (the first) is set to 0 bytes, although the image is present and has a larger than 0 filesize on the server.
