Sorry if the subject line isn't more descriptive.

I have created a website for my boss <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.platinum-signs.com">www.platinum-signs.com</a><!-- w --> in joomla. It's a sign company so we need our customers/clients to be able to upload artwork. Which as some of you may now can be fairly large file sizes, when working with some Adobe software and such.

My host is dreamhost. Now I went in to my PHP config and changed the upload file size max to 300 MB. Now Dreamhost allowed me to change it, but they do not help you or give you any support. Now my boss is willing to lower the upload size to a Minimum of 100 MB.

I also did up max executation time and the post max size to match the upload file size.

Now the form works great. except when I try to upload 30MB or above file. then I get this message:

There is no form with this name or may be the form is unpublished, Please check the form and the url and the form management

So my question now is:
When uploading a file is it sending as a email attachment?

and if anyone has any other ideas of how to fix this problem, it would be most helpful. I am a graphic designer but have experience in web design and such, but I'm not expert in coding and especially PHP. I usually can follow along thou.

Hi Laura,

First off, no, the file isn't being uploaded as an email attachment. Sending it on afterwards by email is an option but not one that you'd want to enable with files of that size.

I don't know why you are seeing this problem :-( possibly the user session is timing out or being disabled, or the php execution time is being exceeded.

PS Are you webmaster87 too?

yes I am. how did you know?

Hi Laura,

I found a similar post of yours to another forum - from a while back I think.

Bob

oh, well if you think of something that might help. You can email me at [email]webmaster87@gmail.com[/email]

okay you said it's not sent as an attachement in the emails. But that's what it's doing. I'm so confused, my boss wants notification of a artwork being uploaded, but not the artwork it self attached but a link to download it. Like YouSendit, or something.

HELP!

Hi Laura,

Sorry, I misunderstood. By default ChronoForms emails uploaded files. You can disable this in the Email Setup Properties box, you will then need to add a download link to the email template.

Bob

this might sound stupid...but

how do I do that. I know how to edit the template. But how do I add a download link?

I don't mean to bug you. But I know where to edit the template and all, but how do I add a download link?
