Hello all! My first post here!

I tried to find somthing about this issue in the board but I've found nothing. If this has been told before, I apologize.
I'm trying to backup and restore my forms with CF 3.0 on Joomla 1.5.9, because contact-forms are pretty the same on every site and I want to have a bag of three or four "models" to place rapidly on every site a make.
The problem is that once the form is backed-up the restore functionality doesn't work! :? It ask me for backup file, it seems that it is uploaded, but the result is a blank page. Nothing shows, neither an error message. No form in forms list, too... I tried from a site on the same site, after deleting the backed-up form but with no luck...

Am I missing something?!😑
Thanks a lot for your kind help. And most of all, for your wonderful component!!! 8)

Hi StickGrinder,

I restore files every day and don't ever recall a problem - two so far this morning. Please describe exactly what you are doing.

Hi StickGrinder,

I think this is a permissions issue with cache folder, make sure its writable by Joomla, it has been posted here before!

Hi and thanks for your wonderful support!
It was a permission problem indeed... my administrator/cache folder was 755.

Just to ask: it was already writable by mean of the Joomla FTP Layer, so it is a matter of direct FS access: that's not so fair in terms of security. Are you planning to switch to FTP layer usage in the future? :-)
Anycase, thumbs up for this wonderful component!!! THANK YOU!!!

Thanks, I will try to do some enhancements so it uses the FTP layer of Joomla, right now its using the Joomla file system utilities/functions, I'm not sure if Joomla tries to do it through the FTP layer if it failed ? here is the code:

$path = JPATH_BASE.DS.'cache';
$uploadedfile = JFile::upload($file['tmp_name'], $path.DS.$filename);

Cheers
Max
