FileField Drupal module description

FileField provides a universal file upload field for CCK.
It is a reliable alternative to the core upload module and an essential tool for users uploading large numbers of files. It is particularly well-suited for managing video and audio files, such as podcast content on your site.

Features:

• Customizable upload paths, allowing files to be saved in user-specific or field-specific directories.
• Ability to limit file size per field or node.
• Extensive API for extending field widgets and file management.
• File management options including editing/moving files.
• Views support.
• AJAX uploading (with progress bar support via the uploadprogress PECL extension).
• Attractive icons for uploaded files.
• All the benefits of CCK (multiple display formats, shared fields, multiple values, and more).

Technical Requirements:

• PHP 5
• MimeDetect (required for Drupal 5, strongly recommended for Drupal 6)
