Bulk Upload

A component for uploading images and/or files in bulk into DataObject managed by the GridField.

Usage 1

Simplest usage, add the component to your GridFieldConfig as below. The component will find the first Image or File has_one relation to use on the managed DataObject.

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

Usage 2

You can specify which Image or File field to use. $fileRelationName (string, optional): The name of the Image or File has_one field to use (If your relation is set has 'MyImage' => 'Image', the parameter should be 'MyImage')

	$config->addComponent(new GridFieldBulkUpload($fileRelationName));

Configuration

Component configuration

The component's option can be configurated through the setConfig functions like this:

$config->getComponentByType('GridFieldBulkUpload')->setConfig($reference, $value);

The available configuration options are:

• 'fileRelationName' : sets the name of the Image or File has_one field to use (i.e. 'MyImage')

UploadField configuration

The underlying UploadField can be configured via a set of APIs:

• setUfConfig($reference, $value) is used to set an UploadField::$ufConfig settings
• setUfSetup($function, $param) is used to pass function calls on to the UploadField itself
• setUfValidatorSetup($function, $param) is used to pass function calls on to the UploadField Validator itself

For example, to set the upload folder, which is set by calling setFolderName on the UploadField, and setting the upload method as sequential, you would use the following:

$config->getComponentByType('GridFieldBulkUpload')
    ->setUfSetup('setFolderName', 'myFolder')
    ->setUfConfig('sequentialUploads', true);

Please see the UploadField api and the Upload api for more info.

Bulk Editing

To get a quick edit shortcut to all the newly upload files, please also add the GridFieldBulkManager component to your GridFieldConfig.
