Support adding multiple media files to a post without JavaScript

[paulrobertlloyd]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

It is not possible to add multiple media file paths/URLs to a post unless JavaScript is enabled:

With JavaScript:

Without JavaScript:

Describe the solution you’d like

Always show the ‘Add another [media type]’ button, and have it make a server request that reloads the page with +1 media input fields shown, while keeping any previous values entered.

This request should not make any requests to the Micropub server.

Hi @paulrobertlloyd, does the open status of this issue mean multiple images in one photo post is not supported yet?

[paulrobertlloyd]

No, you can add multiple images to a post. This issue relates to it not being possible to add multiple posts in the interface if JavaScript is disabled, whereas ideally there’d be a server-side fallback that works without JavaScript.

When I go to new post > photo, I don't see the "add another photo" button. Do I need to upload the photos as "Files" first? Thanks.

Which of the following are you seeing:

With JavaScript

Without JavaScript

If it’s the version without JavaScript, might need to dig into why that is either not working or erroring. Are there any errors in the web developer console?

I am seeing the "without Javascript" version, but mine is not saying "Photos" but "Featured image" instead? Do I need to add to my config for @indiekit/post-type-photo to have a field called photos: {}?

"@indiekit/post-type-photo": {
  fields: {
    featured: { required: true },
    name: {},
    content: {},
    category: {},
    geo: {},
    location: {},
  },
},

I added the above fields after reading the "Create Post Fields" docs section (which didn't have a "photos" option). Is "photos" an automatically supported field I can use?

And no, nothing error or warning is showing in Firefox > Inspect > Console. Thanks!

PS: I use uBlock origin in a Firefox-based browser (Floorp), but I have the whole plugin disabled on the Indiekit site, as well as Firefox's "Enhanced Tracking Protection".

Edit: Forgot to add screenshot.
