Hi, [file=https://goebelmedia.de/downloads/Unfallbericht_11_Feb_2022_09_58_03.cf6bak]Form - File config is empty[/file]
I'm currently creating a multi-page-form. Unfortunately the file upload does not work.
The fields for the upload are on the back of the 8 form pages.
​
As soon as I switch from page 1 to page 2, the error message appears. "file config is empty". Otherwise nothing else is displayed.
"Upload files" is activated in settings-tab. If I disable this the form works but the file upload doesn't.
​
If I set the two upload fields on page 1 of the form, the upload works, Both, the upload and the entire form including mailing with attachment.
Unfortunately, putting the fields on the first page can not be permanent solution.

I've attached the completed form.
Maybe someone will find my mistake.

Hi Chris,
​
Is sounds as though the auto file upload may not work with a multi page form. I suggest that you turn that off and add an Upload Files action to the final 'submit' page of the form instead.

Hey bob,

I tried your tip. Unfortunately that doesn't work either.
At the end of the form, after submitting, the same error message comes up.
The email will be sent with all form content but without the attachments.
​
Any ideas?[file=https://goebelmedia.de/downloads/form-file-config-empty.zip]Multi-Page-Form[/file]

Hi Chris,
​
I tested that form as far as the first file upload and that seemed to be OK - didn't give me any error messages. After that the form made my eyes cross so I didn't go any further.
​
I suggest that you try turning form Debugging on and see if that gives you any clues.

Hi Chris,
​
The debug shows that both file names were submitted, and a path was created but the results didn't get into the final form data.
​
Do you have Auto Upload File Fields enabled? It doesn't appear to be in the version I downloaded.
​
Are there any files in the Uploads folder?
​
Also the CF Manual has a file name with . in it - I guess that might cause a problem with the file type validation.
​
Bob

Hey bob,
​
Auto Upload File Fields are enabled.
​

​
When Auto Upload File Fields is enabled, thats the result switching to page 2...

​
There are no files in the Uploads folder.
​

Also the CF Manual has a file name with . in it - I guess that might cause a problem with the file type validation.

I also tried other files with simple filenames like "upload.jpg" -> same result.
​
Any more ideas?
​
Chris

Anyone else who might have an idea ?
​
Regards,
Chris

Hi
​
Don't use "Auto upload". Desactive it.
​
Keep File Field, then use Action Upload Element in you last submit page.
​

Hey Colnem, thanks for your reply

Don't use "Auto upload". Desactive it.  Keep File Field, then use Action Upload Element in you last submit page.

Unfortunately the same result. After submitting the form the error-message appears: "file config is empty. See pdf preview

Hi
​
If you don't want that file is uploaded in page 6, you have to disable "Upload Files" in general settings of the form.
​
So I've loaded your form, tried.... and it doesn't work if View File Field is not in the last page.
You can see that data:file1 is know, but upload 12 is unknow.
​
It works only in Autoload mode, but the file is loaded after submit page6.
You're right, this is a bug.

So I haven't found a solution to the issue yet.
But I have now found a way around how the form works for me:
The uploads are now all on the last page, so the data upload works. Auto Upload File Fields are deactivated.
​
It's not what I really wanted, but at least that's how it works.
​
Regards Chris

Hi
​
May be contact the developer...
It was very interisting.
​
Good luck
