Problem in uploading files

Hello Max, or Bob or whoever can help....

I'm migrating the site from Chronoforms V4 to V7
I'm using the previous forms and adapting what is absolutely needed. Bear in mind that the forms are all custom and I've not used th normal WYSIWYG facility.
I've problem in uploading files.
In the form settings I've provided the absolute path to the directory I wish to save the files to.
in the actions I've added the Upload but I've problems in setting this properly.
whatever I set in the Upload Directory Path of the form I get always: Destination directory not available.
I've tried for instance: {path:front}/uploads/FullProfileNew which is a directory that I've created but does not work either.

Also, for the File name provider, I've set something {data:image} which is the ghost name of the uploaded file.

What am I doing wrong?

C7 seems to be powerful for people that wish to create forms but is less flexible that the previous version, where I could do a lot of twist ;-(
thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards
Raffaele

Enable the debug under the form settings and that should show you if the upload is processed or not or if there are any errors.

another solution is to try to use v8 which can be installed with v7 on the same website

Hello Max,

thanks for your reply.

I did some testing....
below the code:

</div>

I've 2 upload one after the other. The one called "file_7", created through the standard fields uploads correctly. The second called "image" does not work, and if I activate the Debug, image is not even shown as a variable.

To me the code seems the same, except of course the fact that my code is encapsulated in the in the custom HTML tag.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help
Kind regards

The "debug" info is where the info will be shown, but you posted the HTML

Below is what is shown in thr debug. As you can see the variable "image" is not shown despite I tried to upload the same file on both inputs.... while only the "file_7" is the one that actually uploaded ...

Hi Max,

yes I kno wthat - I've been using CF since the version 3! -
I've configured the action in the end-page.
May be I didn't provide the right data source? I'm using {data:image} and I've allowed the extension of the file normally used....

Hello Max,

I'm not sure You've seen my last update. Can you please look at the screenshot and let me know what is wrong? I'm stuck....
Thanks
Raffaele

please leave the "file name provider" empty
