Uploaded files not on server

arvendal 10 May, 2019

Hello,

I ran into a problem when I tried to create a file upload field in a form. The form sends the messages with the attached files to the recipient, but there are no files saved on the server.
I use these settings:

And I have created a folder named "uploads" at the root. But no files appear on the server after submitting the form. What do I do wrong?

I use this a lot in v5 without any problems, so there must be something I miss. Do I need to change something at the tab "Permissions"?

{path:front} is not the root. It's /.../srvrhomepath/site/components/com_chronoforms6/

You should go to my store and get my free shortcodes reference at skyspider.com.au/store

Thanks!
But I still can't store the files on the server.
I created this folder:

Even if the files are correctly attached to the message (and is delivered to the recipient) there are still no files in the server folder.
So I must miss something, perhaps something in the settings?

Best regards

Answer

Enable the form debug under the form settings, what does the debug show ? it should show the uploaded files path

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?

It works!

There was one more folder level than I thought. This is the right path:

public_html/components/com_chronoforms6/chronoforms/uploads/

instead of:

public_html/components/com_chronoforms6/uploads/

which I had expected.

I'll remember that the debugger is extremly valuable 🙂
