I'm using the current latest version(downloaded a couple of hours ago), 3.2.0
I'm trying to create a form with multiple file upload fields with only 1 of them being mandatory and the rest optional, what is happening is that ChronoForms shows empty error message when the optional file upload field(s) aren't used.

Is there anyway to accomplish this?

Here is my form(if necessary):

Hello,

How do you make your file fields mandatory ? because Chronoforms itself will not show an error if the file is not present.

Regards,
Max

Hi user18,

I just restored your form here and I don't see any error mssages if I leave the optional fields blank. Can you post a screenshot of the error messages you see?

Bob

PS You've use * as a file type wild-card, ChronoForms doesn't support a wild-card here as it's a major security risk. If it's working then you may have an old version.

Thanks for the help.

How do you make your file fields mandatory ? because Chronoforms itself will not show an error if the file is not present.

I use the required field in the form wizard

Can you post a screenshot of the error messages you see?

Here's an image of the error



and here is the form in this image, the updated one:

You've use * as a file type wild-card, ChronoForms doesn't support a wild-card here as it's a major security risk. If it's working then you may have an old version.

Sorry, I've submitted a wrong form, the proper one is above.

Hi user18,

It's fine on my test site but I haven't upgraded to the latest CF release yet. I'll test with that and post again if I find anything useful.

Bob

Hi user18,

After a lot of digging I think I've found some buggy code in the new version of the file that handles uploads.

Please will you test the attached version of components/com_chronocontact/libraries/chronoformuploads.php

I suggest that you rename the old one to chronoformuploads.php.old and the FTP the new version into the folder.

Bob

Seems to be working! I will update with problems during final testing.

Thanks

Thanks for fixing the buggy code.

May I suggest to collect the various fixes in a post so that they can easily be found?

Hello,

I have this same problem. I used your new file. Now, Message gets delivered. Still, I have a setting that ones email sends, the page should redirect to same page /same_page.html and then execute :

<?php
JFactory::getApplication()->enqueueMessage( '<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td>Thanks for your Proposal. We will get back to you shortly</td>
  </tr>
</table>
' );
?>

to display a thanks message. It works in 3 forms in the website. But this one has the upload box and it does not work. So can you relook in to the code to fix this?

http://www.yashwant.ens.org.in/partner-with-me - This is the page where the form is. Please help me out.

Hi eyashwant,

It seems to work OK from here.

Bob

Sorry if I make a stupid question but are inexperienced.
I download the component. Then I have to unzip?
Then I have to install the component in joomla?

Yes, You are right.

I tried to do it.
if I install the zipped file tells me:
ERROR: Could not find an XML setup file in this package.
if I install the film tells me unzip
* Error Unknown File Type

In my opinion the solution could not be so simple!
😟

Hi isma22,

Unzip the download and then use FTP to replace the single file in the package at the location in my earlier post.

Bob

Ok! Sorry! 😶

.... after much thought 🙄 I finally managed to find a solution.
I uploaded the component with Filezilla! 🤣

All fixed! Thanks a lot!

Hi isma22,

Well done.

Sorry for the short reply, I'm in a bit of a rush today. Too much on and going away in a few days.

Bob

Patch works but only after I trun ftp off in Joomla, otherwise I get this error.


* JFTP::write: Bad response
* Couldn't create upload directory 2
* JFTP::store: Bad response
* Warning! - Failed to move file.

Hi bluefish001 ,

Yes, that seems to be a Joomla! bug. I think it happens when the FTP user permissions are different from the Joomla! user permissions.

Bob

Hi isma22,

Unzip the download and then use FTP to replace the single file in the package at the location in my earlier post.

Bob

Are you suggesting the issue is a file ownership issue, or a file permissions issue? Any bone you can throw my way on this would be appreciated. Not having ftp turned on is causing some other issues I had not anticipated.

I have googled this issue and for the most part the solutions have not be fruitful. AKA:
[list]the ftp account needs to be listed with full path.... joomla does not support this[/list]
[list]the ftp account does not have rights... I tried the primary user account and got the same[/list]

Stumped... suspect there is a basic solution but it is eluding me.

Hi bluefish001 ,

I think that it is a folder permissions issue. It seems to crop up from time to time. From the system point of view the FTP user and the Joomla! user can have different permissions. In this case the Joomla! user is able to write to the folder but the FTP user can't.

It may be a chmod problem but is more likely to be because of the security setup on the site.

Hi Bob and Max,

I just downloaded version 3.2 of CF (on June 10 2011) and I have experienced exactly the problem outlined in previous posts in this thread.

The patch that Bob has placed in this thread worked well but doesn't appear to have made it into the distribution version of 3.2 that we can download.

Can we get this distribution download updated?

Thanks

-Anthony

thanks bob! worked for me too!

Aaron

Same here, patch worked but it's still not included in the latest ChronoForms version 3.2!

Ok now work very good!

many thanks! 🙂

Hi user18,

After a lot of digging I think I've found some buggy code in the new version of the file that handles uploads.

Please will you test the attached version of components/com_chronocontact/libraries/chronoformuploads.php

I suggest that you rename the old one to chronoformuploads.php.old and the FTP the new version into the folder.

Bob

Is this an issue with latest version?
My issue is the second file upload (left untouched or no files uploaded) it sends it through although it is a required field. How do I make this required?

I have 2 upload fields (both required)the submitter can skip the uploads like it's not required.
Thanks

Hi abseve,

That was a problem in ChronoForms v3, I haven't seen it reported in CFv4.
