Contactivity has released a new datatype for eZ publish 3.5 datatype that allows users to upload multiple binary files to an object in a single transaction. The datatype has been released under GNU GPL and is available for download from the eZ publish website.

The datatype can be used to publish many files or directories under an object in a single transaction. It offers an alternative to users who do not have access to the webdav functionality of eZ publish.

To upload multiple files to the server, the Java applet Jupload is used (Jupload). Jupload has been written by William JinHua Kwong and has been released under the GPL license.
