Question

I’m trying to make an image heavy web app that allows you to upload multiple images. However, I don’t want to pollute my site with a bunch of file_fields because it looks ugly and is also inconvenient, since the user has to upload multiple pics one by one like that. Is there a way to make it so that when you click the file_field box that you can select/highlight multiple files at once and upload them all at once? If so, how would I target each uploaded image so that I can display each of them?

Answer 1

Short answer: you can’t. field_field just elaborates into input tags of type file which, by specification, can only load a single file at a time.

You can, though, have a look at other solutions which can be fit into a Rails application such as jQuery-File-Upload or Plupload
