Field files allowed number and setMaxFiles()

[Manaus]

Hello,

I have the setMaxFiles(1) function in a script for file uploading, but the field is set to 3 for Maximum Files Allowed. Is there any conflict between the two? I guess the field definition wins, but why using the function then?

Thanks!

Hi, I think you need to save the field after calling setMaxFiles.

Thanks Horst, 

what I mean is what is setMaxFiles for? I can't get it from the docs (indeed I think the Wireupload is missing from the API docs)

Oh, if it isn't in the docs or when I cannot find it, I look into the code: https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/blob/master/wire/core/WireUpload.php#L85

using the browsers "find function" searching for "maxFiles" point me quickly to the interesting parts. So, best would be to have it in the docs, but to look at the code is better than nothing

On an inputfield on front end form you use $f->maxFiles = n
