image not appearing in upload folder?

hi I'm new to chronoengine

my client is running joomla1.5.4
and ChronoForms V2.5 J1.5 RC3.1 Licensed

my form is quite simple and all the other fields are working fine but i'm only getting the file name and no uploaded image??

i have:

this is my input code:

<input name="pic_1" type="file" id="pic_1" size="20" />

I have added the enctype="multipart/form-data" in the Form Tag Attachment box on the General Tab for your form.

i have Enable uploads with the following settings:
Field names & allowed Extensions for each: pic_1:jpg|gif|png
Max allowable size: 2000KB
Min allowable size:1KB

this is where i have been looking for the file /com_chronocontact/upload/

what am i doing wrong?

Hi LeeFish,

The form looks OK and you are checking the correct folder for uploads.

Please check that the upload folder is writeable. There are a couple of other things to check - they are mentioned in the File Upload tutorial in the Downloads area here (the tutorial is for CF v3,0 but the changes are fairly minor).

Bob

thanks for the quick response, i am very grateful for your assistance.

the upload folder /com_chronocontact/upload/ is writeable


php information

file_uploads and check this is ON
upload_max_filesize is 20M

it would appear everything else is as the #6 Adding file upload to a form.pdf suggests

any other ideas?

cheers
Lee

I could be barking up the wrong tree but i was reading this post it's from 2007 so i think what it's talking about has probably been fixed but i'm desperate.

http://www.chronoengine.com/forums.html?cont=posts&f=2&t=3295

which lead me to look at the auto generated code:

<?php 
	$database =& JFactory::getDBO();
	srand((double)microtime()*10000);
	$inum	=	"I" . substr(base64_encode(md5(rand())), 0, 16);
	
$database->setQuery( "INSERT INTO #__chronoforms_5 VALUES  (
'' , '".$inum."','". date('Y-m-d')." - ".date("H:i:s")."', '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."' , '".JRequest::getVar('contact_first_name','', 'post', 'string', '' )."' , '".JRequest::getVar('contact_last_name','', 'post', 'string', '' )."' , '".JRequest::getVar('mobile_number','', 'post', 'string', '' )."' , '".JRequest::getVar('email','', 'post', 'string', '' )."' , '".JRequest::getVar('contact_address','', 'post', 'string', '' )."' , '".JRequest::getVar('suburb','', 'post', 'string', '' )."' , '".JRequest::getVar('state','', 'post', 'string', '' )."' , '".JRequest::getVar('postcode','', 'post', 'string', '' )."' , '".JRequest::getVar('text','', 'post', 'string', '' )."' , '".JRequest::getVar('pic_1','', 'post', 'string', '' )."');" );
if (!$database->query()) {
echo "<script> alert('".$database->getErrorMsg()."'); window.history.go(-1); </script>
";
}
?>

is this how it should be?

Hi LeeFish,

The AutoGenerated code looks Ok to me - it's executed after the file uploads so shouldn't have any effect on that step in the process. Have you checked your server logs?

Please add this snippet to the OnSubmit After box and let us know what the result is - it should show the uploaded file details.

<?php
echo $_FILES;
?>

Hi Bob,

i added the

<?php
echo $_FILES;
?>

and it came back with - Array

Hi LeeFish,

Sorry - sloppy posting on my part, please make that:

<?php
print_r($_FILES);
?>

to get the array contents.

Bob

thanks Bob

it came back with no image just, Array ( )

HI LeeFish,

In that case nothing has uploaded from the form itself - so we have the problem pinned down a bit more.

Hi Bob thank you for all your assistance

please find Form Backup attatched

Hi LeeFish,

I'm baffled for the moment - your form looks fine - except that the Max and Min file size limits need to be just numbers with no 'KB'.

But I can't get it to upload a file for me, I made a simple version with just the file upload field and an input button and that won't work in FireFox or IE7 - but works fine in Google Chrome . . . that reminds me about a IE problem with spaces in file paths - I wonder if that's it.

Bob

Hi, where do you have this form online ?

Max

Max,

I am having the same problem trying to upload a doc I see the filename in the debug but no files gets uploaded.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

Joe

Hi jbourque,

It's probably a permissions problem. Have you checked to see if the files ahve been uploaded to the Joomla temporary folder? If so then probably the ChronoForms upload folder isn't writeable.

Bob
