Using the submitcontent and upload 2 files?

Hi,

this is my first try on this forum since i'm using chronoforms for 3 days now😉 I was looking for a easy and simple way to let user submit content and i found thru some other forums this form made in Chronoforms.
So far so good and this was 100% wat i was looking for🙂 i purchased the license also today for chronoforms🙂 I really looks great!

Only one thing i don't get.

how do i let this form also upload 2 pics (flyers) to go with this form?

I have found the tab "File uploads" and here i'm able to set upload to enable and enter the Field names & allowed Extensions & sizes for each file. i have entered the following:

file_1:jpg|gif|png{222222-1},file_3:jpg|gif|png{222222-1},file_2:jpg|gif|png{222222-1},file_3:jpg|gif|png{222222-1}

But still no upload allowed (no fields are shown for this).

Could you explain what i am doing wrong?

Best Regards
Rick

Sorry for bumping this topic, but is there a special category for licensed chronoform user?

I'm in need for some urgent help on this issue.

Thnx
Rick

Hi Rikoos,

Max has talked about it but at the moment there is no special forum for licensed users.

I'll take a look when I can but I'm not that familiar with the Profile PlugIn so can't answer 'off the top of my head'.

Hi Bob,

thank you for the reply🙂 but i don't understand what you mean with the Profile PlugIn?
I was talking about the downloaded sample form submitcontent which allows you to add content to the website, the tab supplied for uploading isn't working but i think i'm (like always) on the wrong track.😉

Thank you

Cheers
Rick

Hi Rick,

Apoloies, I used the wrong term - same answer applies to the Content Form though.

Bob

okay🙂

i will wait for your answer.

Thnx
Rick

Hi Rick,

actually your config should work but you have a duplicate data for the file_3 so remove the last one please ?

after this if it doesn't work then did you add the enctype to the form tag attachment field of the form ?

did you enable the uploads in the "file uploads" tab ?

Regards
Max

Hi Max,

thnx for the help, i removed the file_3 from the field and it looks like this now:

file_1:jpg|gif|png{222222-1},file_2:jpg|gif|png{222222-1},file_3:jpg|gif|png{222222-1}

Also upload is enabled in the form (set to yes) but i don't get the add the enctype to the form tag attachment field? What do i have to do?

Cheers
Rick

PS
The other 2 things changed didn't help making it work😉

Hi Rick,

please add this code to the Form tag Attachment field in the General tab:

enctype="multipart/form-data"

Max
