How do I download multiple attachments from multiple records in a zip file?

[Ryan Norton]

I was wondering if there was any way to download multiple files from multiple records in a single zip file.

[Jace Benson]

Not that I'm aware of.  You can download all the files for a single record using `download_all_attachments.do?sys_id={SYSID OF TASK}`

I was hoping to get something for multiple records at the same time, and not necessarily on any task tables.

Hi,

Hope below code will help you:

You can use the ZipArchive class to create a ZIP file and stream it to the client. Something like:

$files = array('readme.txt', 'test.html', 'image.gif');
$zipname = 'file.zip';
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach ($files as $file) {
  $zip->addFile($file);
}
$zip->close();

and to stream it:

header('Content-Type: application/zip');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$zipname);
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zipname));
readfile($zipname);

Hello,

Please use below link to get an idea of how to setup. It uses JAVA packages and Processor. Use can customize that in processor script based on relationship between the records to find correct attachments to ZIP
