## Beschreibung

Give any Contact Form 7 form a clean multiple-file field. Visitors drag files in
or click to browse. You control the button text, file types, size limits, and where
each form stores uploads.

**Upload that feels easy**

 * Drag and drop, or click the browse button
 * Several files in one field — no extra `[file]` tags
 * Custom button label (default: Choose files) and CSS class
 * Optional or required: `[hbwa_mfile]` / `[hbwa_mfile*]`
 * Limits you set: file types, size per file, and max number of files

**Save files your way — per form**

Each form has its own **Multi-file Upload** tab. Turn saving on only where you need
it.

 * **Media library** — add uploads to WordPress Media
 * **Folder under wp-content** — keep files in a path you choose, such as `uploads/
   invoices`

**Folders that stay organized**

When you save under wp-content, pick how subfolders are created:

 * By year
 * By year / month (same idea as the WordPress media library)
 * By year / month / day
 * By logged-in user
 * By user / year
 * By form name (slug, for example `contact-form-1`)
 * Custom pattern, such as `{year}/{form_slug}`

Name saved files with tokens like `{filename}`, `{date}`, `{time}`, and `{random}`.
The original extension is always kept.

**Email that is ready to open**

 * Attach files in the Mail tab with the matching mail-tag, for example `[attachments]`
 * Put the same tag in the message body
 * When saving is on, that tag becomes a **link to open each file** instead of a
   plain name

**Built for Contact Form 7**

 * **multi-file** button in the form-tag generator
 * Works with Mail and Mail (2)
 * Settings apply to that form only — other forms stay unchanged

**Requirements**

 * [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) must be installed
   and active

### How to use the shortcode

 1. Edit a Contact Form 7 form.
 2. Click the **multi-file** button in the form-tag generator.
 3. Set the field name, button label, CSS class, file types, size limit, and max files,
    then insert the tag.
 4. In the **Mail** tab, add the same field name under **File attachments** (for example`[
    attachments]`).
 5. Optionally add the same mail-tag in the message body.
 6. Open the **Multi-file Upload** tab if you want to keep copies: enable **Save uploaded
    files**, then choose Media library or a folder under wp-content.

**Basic shortcode examples**

Optional field:

    ```
    [hbwa_mfile attachments]
    ```

Required field:

    ```
    [hbwa_mfile* attachments]
    ```

Custom button label and class:

    ```
    [hbwa_mfile* attachments class:my-upload-btn "Select files"]
    ```

With options:

    ```
    [hbwa_mfile* attachments filetypes:jpg|jpeg|png|pdf|doc|docx limit:2mb maxfiles:5 "Choose file"]
    ```

**Shortcode options**

 * Quoted value — browse button label (default: Choose files)
 * `class:` — CSS class added to the file input and the browse button
 * `filetypes:` — pipe-separated extensions (example: `jpg|jpeg|png|pdf`)
 * `limit:` — max size per file (example: `2mb`, `500kb`, or bytes)
 * `maxfiles:` — maximum number of files allowed in one submission

**Save files (per form)**

On the form’s **Multi-file Upload** tab:

 1. Enable **Save uploaded files**.
 2. Choose **one** destination:
 3.  * **Media library**
     * **Folder under wp-content** — base path relative to `wp-content` (for example`
       uploads/invoices`), then organize subfolders by year, month, user, form name
       slug, or a custom pattern
 4. Optional **File name** pattern (default `{filename}`). The original extension is
    always kept.

When saving is enabled, the mail-tag in the message body outputs links to open each
file.

Uploaded files are sent as real email attachments when Contact Form 7 file uploading
is enabled for that mail template. Make sure your hosting PHP upload limits (`upload_max_filesize`,`
post_max_size`) allow the sizes you configure.

**Guidelines**

 * Always put the matching mail-tag in **File attachments** if you want files attached
   to the email.
 * Use `[hbwa_mfile*]` when at least one file is required.
 * Keep `maxfiles:` and `limit:` realistic for your server and mailbox size limits.
 * Restrict `filetypes:` to what you actually need (for example images and PDFs 
   only).
 * This field does not replace CF7’s native `[file]` tag — use `[hbwa_mfile]` when
   you need multiple files and drag-and-drop.

 3. Make sure Contact Form 7 is installed and active
 4. Edit a Contact Form 7 form
 5. Click the **multi-file** button in the form-tag generator
 6. Insert the tag into the Form tab
 7. Add the matching mail-tag to the Mail tab **File attachments** field (and optionally

## FAQ

### Are uploaded files attached to the email?

Yes. Add the field’s mail-tag (for example `[attachments]`) to the Mail tab **File
attachments** box. Contact Form 7 will attach the uploaded files to the notification
email. Place the same mail-tag in the message body to show file names, or openable
links when **Save uploaded files** is enabled on that form.

### How do I make the upload required?

Use the required form-tag: `[hbwa_mfile* your-field-name ...]`.

### How do I change the Choose files button text?

In the tag generator, set **Button label**. If you leave it empty, the button shows“
Choose files”. Example: `[hbwa_mfile attachments "Select files"]`.

### Where are files stored?

By default they stay in Contact Form 7’s temporary folder and are attached to the
email. On the form’s **Multi-file Upload** tab, enable **Save uploaded files** and
choose the media library or a folder under `wp-content`. You can organize that folder
by year, month, user, or the form name slug.

### Can each form save files differently?

Yes. Saving, destination, folder layout, and file name are set on that form’s **
Multi-file Upload** tab only.
