Usage

This module provides the ajax_upload widget type that can be used in place of the file widget. E.g. If you have a field that you used to use for file uploads with configuration like:

[myfield]
        Type=container

You can change it to use the ajax_upload widget by adding:

widget:type=ajax_upload

to the fields.ini configuration. E.g.

[myfield]
        Type=container
        widget:type=ajax_upload
