jquery file upload restricting number of files

Question

I am using jquery file upload to upload the files to the server . I want to restrict the user to upload maximum 6 files . I search the wiki jquery file upload but didnt find the parameter for it . Is there any way that i can restrict the user on number of uplaods

Answer 1

Use maxNumberOfFiles here is documentation :

$('#fileuploadbasic').fileupload({

maxNumberOfFiles: 6

});

Answer 2

maxNumberOfFiles was not working for me so i did the following

$('#fileuploadbasic').fileupload({
    change : function (e, data) {
        if(data.files.length>=5){
            alert("Max 5 files are allowed")
            return false;
        }
    },
    maxFileSize: 20000000,
    acceptFileTypes: /(\.|\/)(jpe?g|png)$/i,
});

Answer 3

You can limit the uploading files by the "Uploadhandler.php" file .change the "max_number_of_files" option. works for me. But it only validates when you upload the file.
