It's installed now, but somewhat hidden - ie not directly linked. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Special:MultipleUpload I've set the file limit to 10 uploads at a time. This can be adjusted up or down. Added to the documented extensions here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Wiki_maintenance/Extensions The instructions for installing this extension detail putting the link for the MultiUpload into the main Navigation bar on the left. Personally, I'd like to avoid dropping it there. It should be linked elsewhere... like direct on the Upload special page, but this would require tweaking the raw PHP... something I'd rather not do if at all possible. Any ideas?

It's linked on Special page "Special Pages", but restricted to sysops. You might just change the permission requirement. -- /tj/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@documentation.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@documentation.openoffice.org

It's a potential for abuse by the few remaining rogue spammers we have. All of the various MultiUpload extensions I've looked at in the past have restricted this functionality to only those users with Sysop (aka Admin) permissions. initially, I don't see a way to set the permissions of this extension... might be a $wgSomething variable that can be set? Not sure yet.

Not > sure yet. My opinion: Link to Special:Multidownload should be only visible on the normal download page, not in the Sidebar. "Normal users" should be able to use it without Sysop rights.

Adding it anywhere else required editing PHP, or adjusting other files that may or may not be possible in the next engine upgrade. > "Normal users" should be able to use it without Sysop rights. As far as I can tell, normal users can use it. I logged in as my test user who has only the usual edit rights on the Wiki, and the user had access to the UploadFiles section... even though it was a bolded item in the Special Pages.
