Currently working on a project that requires some fairly complex integration between Magento and Mail Chimp. I’m really impressed with Mail Chimp so far - the API is really well documented and a pleasure to work on. A breath of fresh air compared to most API’s that I have worked on before. It’s amazing what a difference decent documentation does. Magento on the other hand - well I’m sure you know that Magento documentation is a bit like rocking horse ****.

If your Magento custom options with multiple file uploads isn’t working properly, its because of a bug in the core Magento code. You can either edit the core file Open magento\app\code\core\Mage\Catalog\Model\Product\Option\Type\File.php and change: at line 145 if (!$upload->receive()) { To: if (!$upload->receive($file)) { Or alternatively I have put together a small module to override this bit of code. If you want it drop me a comment and I will package it up.
