Hello everybody.

I'm new on this forum and I have a question which I can't be resolved with the Dutch forums.

I'm using chronoforms V3.0 with Joomla 1.5.8.

The 'upload file' is working perfectly if you upload a file from Firefox, but if you upload a file from Internet Explorer the file never arrives in the mailbox.
It's very frustrating, because most people work witg Internet Explorer. ( too bad :? )

I've tested this with the same filesize, it's works in FI but not in IE...

What can I do??

Regards Sandra

Hi Sandra,

I remember someone else posting that there was a similar problem with IE uploads when there where spaces in the file name/path (I think that was the problem, maybe special characters too?).

Bob

Hi Sandra,

check Bob's suggestion and also check you have the "enctype" in the "form tag attachment" field, one of them will fix it for sure!

Max

Hi Bob,

I've tested this with a simple .doc document ( test.doc ).

The same story here: it works perfectly in FI, but nothing in IE 😟

Hi Max,

I will now check the enctype. I saw that the 'form tag attachment' was empty.
Do I just put here 'enctype'?

Thanks for helping me. 😀

Regards,

Sandra

Hi Sandra,

You need enctype='multipart/form-data' in the form tag attachment box.

Bob

Heeij 😀

It works!!
I've put enctype='multipart/form-data' in the form tag attachment box.

Thanks!

Can anyone tell me how to do this using Dreamweaver CS3 as my editor. I typically copy the code and paste it in the chronoform html box and it all works. Something is not working when I try to use the upload file attachment. Maybe I am doing it wrong in Dreamweaver.

Any ideas?

Hi denwood,

Please check the File Uploads tutorial from the downloads area here, there are a couple of other steps that you may need to take.

Bob

Thanks GreyHead!

This was a very worthwhile purchase. The forms work flawlessly! The above solutions work just like your tutorial. I just couldn't get my head around where the form tag attachment box was located... I kept trying to find it in Dreamweaver.

Thanks again!

Hello,

Hi cloclo,

The uploads should work OK. Please wil you post a screenshot of the File Uploads tab so that I can take a look?

Bob

Hello Bob,

Is that what you want?
I must say that the fields are well created in the database but the fild for the cv file is empty in the db and the file itself not attached to the mail and not in the folder.😢
Thanks for your help.

Hi cloclo,

Is this the latest ChronoForms version 3.2?

If so there's a bug in the File upload code. Please see this post.

Bob

No it's 3.1

Shall I try to replace chronoformsuploads.php with file posted for 3.2?

Thanks

Hi cloclo,

No - the file in 3.1 is OK, the bug is only in the 3.2 version.

Please will you open the Form Editor by clicking the Form Title link in the Forms Manager. Then click the File Uploads tab and take a Screen shot of the settings. See the example below.

Bob
