Firstly, thank you for saving my life. But then again, I need another lifesaver(!) Attached the html codes that I have prepared in the Form Code Tab>Form HTML field.
Code: Select all
<h3>You can submit your artwork online!</h3>
Personal Details<br />

  </p>
  <p>Email add<br /><input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="50" />
  </p>
  <p>Contact Number<br /><input name="contact_no" type="text" id="contact_no" size="50" />
  </p>
  <p>college or university name<br />
    <input name="college_uni" type="text" id="college_university" size="50" />
  </p>

  <p><b>Upload file </b></p>
  <p>
    Upload file
    <input name="file" type="file" size="50" />
  </p>
  <hr />
  <p>Submission</p>
  <p>1)   All image files must be in CMYK, 300dpi, tiff format, 16.5cm in width, 16cm in height.<br />
  2)   File name: name.tiff (e.g.: johndoe.tiff).<br />

  Send in your entries by September 10, 2007. </p>
  <p>
    <label>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
     </label>
     <input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Reset" />
    <br />
  </p>
The rest of the fields are empty and i have included the Element titles. While the Auto generated fields are as below:

Code: Select all
<?php
   global $database;
$database->setQuery( "INSERT INTO #__chronoforms_1 VALUES  (
'' , '". date('Y-m-d')." - ".date("H:i:«»s"«»)."' , '".$_POST['form1']."' , '".$_POST['name']."' , '".$_POST['ID_no']."' , '".$_POST['email']."' , '".$_POST['contact_no']."' , '".$_POST['college_uni']."' , '".$_POST['course_name']."' , '".$_POST['address1']."' , '".$_POST['address2']."' , '".$_POST['postcode']."' , '".$_POST['town_city']."' , '".$_POST['city']."' , '".$_POST['country']."' , '".$_POST['file']."' , '".$_POST['Submit']."' , '".$_POST['Submit2']."');" );
if (!$database->query()) {
echo "<script> alert('".$database->getErrorMsg()."'); window.history.go(-1); </script>
";
}
?>


I got the email with the results displayed in the tables from the form management tab. But I'm not sure where did the file uploads go. I have checked the upload directory via ftp for the chronocontact component but it is seen nowhere.

I'm quite new to this component. Can somebody please help me on this. I the checked the FAQs and throught this forum but it's nowhere to be seen. It's actually quite urgent this one. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks a bunch to whoever!

Hi,

#1 - in the form attachement tag, u must put this : enctype="multipart/form-data"

#2- enable file uploads and configure it well then ur files should be at components/com_chronocontact/uploads/

Hi,

Thank you for the fast respond! I have inserted #1 and have did #2 before this. However, it still isn't working. The uploaded files are still not included in the email and are not on the uploads folder... Is there anything else that I might have missed?

Thanks!

Hi,

At screen 2, you must have minimum filesize

At screen 1, you must have " enctype=...etc", so you omitted the "enctype="

Hi,

Have inserted the minimum file size and enctype="multipart/form-data" at the tag attachment.. But it still doesnt work.. :(

By the way, are there any element titles involved for the upload file field?

Thanks..

aha, of course, I though you are putting this to hide your real field name, you must replace field_name_1 with your file field name, which is "file" i think ?

Hi chloe71,

I don't know where the hidden input for MAX_FILE_SIZE came from, that isn't needed for ChronoForms.

To have file uploads work you *must*:
  • Enable uploads on the File Uploads tab
  • Put valid entries in *all three* input fields: allowable extensions, max size & min size
  • On the General tab put enctype="multipart/form-data" in the 'Form tag attachment' box


No, a database isn't needed for this to work.

Hi Bob,

I think I did that, but still failed.

I deleted this hidden input for MAX_FILE_SIZE, same too.<br><br>Post edited by: chloe71, at: 2007/07/04 02:59
