Multiple Files at once?

  According to google, with the latest browsers this should be possible with having
  
  input type="file[]" multiple
  
  However looking at what fuelCMS generates for multiple files, (an input for each) I'm thinking this might not work.
  
  So I'll add a second question:
  
  How can I have a custom input within function form_fields() in a simple module?
  
  <?php
  function form_fields($values = array(), $related_fields = array())
  {
  $fields = parent::form_fields($values, $related_fields);
  $CI =& get_instance();
  
  $user_id = NULL;
  if (!empty($values['id']))
  {
  $id = $values['id'];
  }
  $this->form_builder->load_custom_fields(APPPATH.'config/custom_fields.php');
  $fields['content'] = array('type' => 'wysiwyg', 'editor' => 'wysiwyg');
  $fields['images'] = array('type' => 'file', 'overwrite' => FALSE, 'display_overwrite' => FALSE, 'multiple' => TRUE);
  //Custom HTML here somehow?
  return $fields;
  }
  ?>
  
  Will i need to change to an advanced module?

  You can create a custom field type that can be recognized by Form_builder to serve up what you need. The Fuel_custom_fields.php class contains a bunch that FUEL uses as an example. This coupled with the fuel/modules/fuel/config/custom_fields.php configuration file to make the proper associations with the custom field type.
  
  So in general, you can create your own class or function, that returns an HTML string and store it in your fuel/application/libraries/ folder. Any additional javascript or CSS can be added to your assets directory and then mapped accordingly in your fuel/application/config/custom_fields.php file which is used for you application specific custom fields.
  
  A little more can be read in the documentation here:
