Upload multiple files within custom block

Permalink
Hi

I have created custom blocks for our website but I am looking at creating a block that has (upto) 6 files appended to it.

I have set up the db.xml to manage 6 separate files, but I cannot get the code correct to add them. Currently if I add a more than one file it overwrites the previous file (i.e. only one file).

I have searched the forums to no avail so any support would be greatly appreciated.

add.php
<?php 
        $includeAssetLibrary = true;
        $al1 = Loader::helper('concrete/asset_library');
        $al2 = Loader::helper('concrete/asset_library');
        $al3 = Loader::helper('concrete/asset_library');
        $al4 = Loader::helper('concrete/asset_library');
        $al5 = Loader::helper('concrete/asset_library');
        $al6 = Loader::helper('concrete/asset_library');
        ?>
        <h2><?php echo t('Files to upload')?></h2>
        <!-- Consent Forms -->
        <p>Consent Form</p>
        <?php echo $al1->file('ccm-b-file', 'fID1', t('Choose File'), $bf);?>
        <!-- Risk Assessment -->

You have 'ccm-b-file' everywhere, try appending numbers here as well!

If that does not work (yet), add the 'fID1', 'fID2' etc to the $btExportFileColumns array in your controller.php file.

I also see you always pass $bf as an instance to the function. This should be all different instances of each file. So you probably have the same image everywhere I assume?

Thanks - that has resolved the issue of single loading for me by amending the $bf and ccm-b-id.

Thanks for your response
