This is the Gravity Forms uploader plugin for those who need a little more than the default multi file upload of Gravity Forms v1.8.
Note — if you are running an older version of Gravity Forms without the built in multi file upload you can use this (tested from v1.6 upwards).
The plugin options page provides you with granular control over many Plupload parameters from file extension filters to chunked uploading and runtimes.
All files are uploaded to the Wordpress media library on successful form submission making for easy access and management.
If you chose to activate the Video Uploader add-on the plugin will detect any video files being uploaded and automatically send them to your YouTube account as private videos awaiting review (Also includes Brightcove FTP, Vimeo API is on its way!).
For the security conscious among you the plugin takes many steps to protect the server from nasty files:
- filename encryption
- prevention of file execution in tmp folder via htaccess
- validation of both file extension and mime type
- crosscheck mime types against Wordpress mime white list
- filenames changed once added to media library
Large File Support – Enable chunked file uploads to allow for large files uploads and circumvent server uploads limits.
Advanced Customization – If you are a dev and need even more control there are a number of filters and actions to hook into. Also you can make a copy of the ini scripts used to generate each UI. Place them in your theme and just wp_dequeue_script then enqueue_script with your script path and it will have access to all the localized vars.
Please Note — When using the Video Uploader option, although actual file upload takes place asynchronously. If your server script timeouts are too short you will have problems with larger video files. That said the plugin does try to increase the timeout but it really depends on your hosting setup.
