Modules For Mass Uploading Images In Drupal 6

Submitted by kaharris on Thu, 09/16/2010 - 11:15

Few would argue that when it comes to uploads an internet application that provides the ability to upload in bulk is superior to one that doesn't. Drupal lacks this feature and must rely on contributed modules to accomplish the task.

The following have been evaluated for inclusion in recent projects.

Plupload integration - This is a promising module and one to keep an eye on. Currently it is only suitable for a few uses and is considered a mere proof of concept. To understand why this module is exciting take a look at the plupload home page.

Image FUpload - So far this is the best module I could find for bulk uploading images. Image FUpload is as functional as it is buggy and while it gets the job done an enormous amount of grease must be used to keep the wheel going.

SWFupload - Never mind the fact that this module practically begs you not to use it. A very scary disclaimer warns about unresolved security concerns. I was unable to get this module operational, possibly due to conflicts with other modules.

Recommendation: Image FUpload
