I think this is a little independent thing, but the truth is that the MultipleUpload really shouldn't have the hard set list of upload selectors. It's quite possible to use JS to add more and flip through multiple ones.
If you don't know about it, here's something interesting: PHP accepts arrays in inputs. If you use a name like var[], and use that multiple times. Then you can use $wgRequest->getArray( 'var' ); and it will output a numerical array with the values of the individual var[] inputs. Quite simply you can setup a array based multiple upload. ~Daniel Friesen(Dantman) of: -The Gaiapedia (http://gaia.wikia.com) -Wikia ACG on Wikia.com (http://wikia.com/wiki/Wikia_ACG) -and Wiki-Tools.com (http://wiki-tools.com) JohnQ wrote: > DanTMan is correct.
