File Upload Path

Joomla 8.1 Chronoform8 Windows 11 Chronoform8 converts the entry in the file configuration {path:root}/images/chronoforms_uploads/ to L:\XAMPP\htdocs\duetto/images/chronoforms_uploads/ which results in an error. The entry works width: xampp/htdocs/duetto/images/chronoforms_uploads/ Can this be fixed?

It's mysterious, but in Chronoforms8 it works as shown in the picture. Everything else doesn't.

Do you have the Linux on Windows system ? if yes then you need to use Linux path as you have shown

Thank you for your feedback.

For better understanding, I'm rewriting my original question in a clearer format:

 - Joomla 8.1

 - Chronoform8

- Windows 11

Chronoform8 converts the entry

`{path:root}/images/chronoforms_uploads/`

in the file (upload) configuration to

`L:\XAMPP\htdocs\duetto/images/chronoforms_uploads/`

which results in an error.

It works with: 

`xampp/htdocs/duetto/images/chronoforms_uploads/`.

Everything else doesn't.

Can this be fixed?

ChronoForms gets the {path:root} value from the Joomla JPATH_ROOT constant, try this, add a PHP action to your form page and use this code:

echo JPATH_ROOT;

What do you get printed?

The print out ist  L:\XAMPP\htdocs\duetto 

This is the Joomla path as set by Joomla itself then, ChronoForms just uses it

What error do you get when you use the default path ? try to enable the form Debug and send me the error message reported under the Debug of the upload section

{path:front}/uploadsResult: Upload dir not available: /L:\xampp\htdocs\duetto\components\com_chronoforms8/uploads

{path:root}\images\chronoforms\Result:: Error, upload directory does not exist:  /L:\xampp\htdocs\duetto\images\chronoforms
