How to use the media library, crop images, bulk upload images and how to check where media is used.

How to bulk upload images

In February 2025 we included the 'Simple Media Bulk Upload' module with LocalGov Drupal.

To switch it on:

  1. In your site, click on the 'Extend' tab and search for 'bulk'

2. Tick the box next to the module's name and click 'Install'

3. If you can't see the 'Extend' tab or the module, please share these installation instructions with your developer

This module needs the 'dropzonejs' Javascript library to work. See the installation instructions for more info.

How to use

Once installed, you'll see a change in the LocalGov Drupal interface. Every field which allows the upload of multiple media items will look like this.
