Bulk Downloads

Post by kraykray »

Phoca seems to have almost everything my client needs... except bulk downloads of files.

Am I missing something here? Is this an option?

What about Bulk Uploads on the front end?

Re: Bulk Downloads

Post by Jan »

Hi, bulk downloads (bulk uploads) are still not supported, this feature is set in feature request list but it is controversial. Because this feature can easily slow down or crash the server (when for example user enables this feature for a lot of files or in low cost server, etc. - compress a lot of files and manage it (compress, move or copy, give it for download, possible working with ftp layer, etc.) can be very time and memory consuming).

So really still don't know if I should it implement or leave this open, so it can be customized for specific needs (depends on hosting parameters and files count) :idea:
