The SimpleBatchUpload extension provides basic, no-frills uploading of multiple files to MediaWiki.
- PHP 5.4 or later
- MediaWiki 1.26 or later
The recommended way to install this extension is by using Composer.
Just 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": "~1.0"
}
}
(Alternatively you can download a tar ball or zip file from
GitHub
and extract it into the extensions
directory of your MediaWiki installation.)
Then add the following line to your LocalSettings.php
:
wfLoadExtension('SimpleBatchUpload');
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 template to be stored as text on initial upload
- Upload comment
- Title line of the Special:BatchUpload page
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 [[mw: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 [[mw:Extension:SimpleBatchUpload{{!}}SimpleBatchUpload]].
- If a file with that name is uploaded for the first time it will have
{{Pics}}
as wikitext.
