[Zope] how to upload a batch of files????

[Trevor Toenjes]

This is a whack at the solution.
I am still learning loops, but it seems that every file would have its own
name.
Then loop through each name POSTing to a python or dtml method
'processFiles'.

Below is a linear approach.

'enterBatchFiles'
<form action="processFiles" method="post">
<input type="file" name="file1" size="25" value="">
<input type="file" name="file2" size="25" value="">
<input type="file" name="file3" size="25" value="">
<input class="form-element" type="submit" name="submit" value=" Add Files ">
</form>

I am not sure of the next syntax.

'processFiles' would include
manage_addFile(id, file="file1", title="", precondition="", content_type="")
manage_addFile(id, file="file2", title="", precondition="", content_type="")
manage_addFile(id, file="file3", title="", precondition="", content_type="")
**There might be an issue with manage_addFile confirming each submit during
this process.

Are there any experienced Zopesters that can help with this?
If ID is null, does it inherit the filename?
I am sure there is a more eloquent way.
