[More screenshots here.](screenshots)

## Requirements
* SilverStripe 3.1 (version master / 1.+)
* Silverstripe 3.0 (version [0.5](https://github.com/colymba/GridFieldBulkEditingTools/tree/0.5))

## Development notes
The master branch will try to be compatible with the latest SilverStripe release/pre-release. Please submit pull request against the master branch. Older branches are kept for compatibility but may not be maintained.

## Installation
* Download and copy module in SilverStripe root directory and name it whatever you want
* run ?flush to regenerate the manifest

## Bulk Image Upload
Upload multiple images at once into DataObjects. Perfect for galleries and the like.

    $config->addComponent(new GridFieldBulkImageUpload());

See [BULK_IMAGE_UPLOAD.md](BULK_IMAGE_UPLOAD.md) for detailed configuration.

## Bulk Manager
Perform actions on multiple records straight from the GridField

    $config->addComponent(new GridFieldBulkManager());

See [BULK_MANAGER.md](BULK_MANAGER.md) for detailed configuration.

## Notes
* The Record edit form uses the Model's getCMSFields()

#### @TODO
* Add individual actions for each upload (update + cancel)
* Handle and display errors better for: creation, update, cancel
* Make it work not only for images but Files too
