I want my visitor to upload multiple files / images and intent so save the same in the database.
I have added an ‘Upload’ button from ‘User Input’. But it allows user to only upload 1 file or image. My users are not able to upload multiple images / files.

Please help!

Hi,
Visitors can upload files to your Dropbox account using Get Files to Dropbox app. We also have a few third-party apps, available in the Wix App Market , which have a file uploading feature. Check out the 123 Form Builder app, or search for other apps using the search term “file”.

Good luck,
Tal.

See the article Wix Code: About Working with Media Gallery Fields . This might be suitable for your needs.

Another approach would be to maintain a collection of images that has a visitor ID field. Then you can display the visitor’s images in a repeater, table, or gallery.

Hello Yisrael,
We also are working to add a customer upload area for images. We have everything working except for the issue that it looks like many others are having which is that our customers do not want to only upload a single image but multiples. That being said, how do we overcome the single image file upload limitation for site visitors?

I have tried changing the data type to “media gallery” inside the database but the upload buttons do not support it and I believe “media gallery” is meant for site admins only so back to where we had started. I have also read through the looping code but feel like that is a bit of a crutch to just allowing our visitors to simply select more photos than 1 for the upload.

We are really needing this functionality as it impacts our ability to develop our marketing efforts.

Thanks!

This is currently under development.

Meanwhile, you can add multiple UploadButton components to your page and then when you click your “Save files” button, have it do startUpload() for all buttons that have a selected file.
