Squiz Matrix Multiple File Upload jQuery Plugin

Sick and tired of only being able to upload 1 file at a time using an Asset Builder in Squiz Matrix? With this plugin, you get Facebook style multiple file upload capabilities!

Upload Files

• jquery.matrixMultiFileUpload.js
• swfupload.swf
• upload.png (Or your own upload button image)

Create Assets

• Create a Standard Page asset
• Create an Asset Builder
• Configure asset builder to create your file type and set the create location to where ever you want the files uploaded. (This can also be dynamic)
• Make the Asset Builder Live and give it Public Read permissions. (You can use the logged in body copy to prevent the public from using the asset builder)
• Add <div id="created">%created_asset_url%</div> to the Created bodycopy of the Asset Builder.

Standard Page

Make sure to use script tags for jQuery and jquery.matrixMultiFileUpload.js and then insert the matrixMultiFileUpload function:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="path/to/jquery.matrixMultiFileUpload.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){

    // Add the uploader
    $('#upload').matrixMultiFileUpload({
        assetBuilderId:     '103593',// Asset ID of the Asset Builder that will create the file
        assetBuilderUrl:    '%globals_asset_url:103593%',// Asset Builder URL
        swfUrl:             '%globals_asset_url:103611%',// URL to SWFUpload file
        buttonImageUrl:     '%globals_asset_url:56731%'// URL to the upload button image
        assetType:          'pdf_file'// Optional parameter for file type, defaults to image
    });

});
</script>
<div id="upload"></div>

Preview

Preview the Standard Page and you should see the upload button. Click this and then you can select multiple files (holding down shift) and upload them!
