Trouble with Downdown boxes - Form Failing

iceman007 26 Feb, 2011
Have 4 active forms, 2 have included Dropdowns. The forms with Dropdowns are failing to submit properly. For example: http://www.flashpointcrystals.com/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=67 will permit complete AOK but on submit shows only a read box at top with fields 1-6 showing with an asterisk by #3 - which is the drop down box. Have debug setting "on" but there is no useful info provided upon submission other than this new red box showing at top. Same problem with my second form - http://www.flashpointcrystals.com/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=43. At a complete loss as to why they are failing - have reviewed the tutorials at length - can you please help me? Appreciation given in advance. 😀

Hi iceman007,

Is this the latest ChronoForms version 3.2?

If so there's a bug in the File upload code. Please see this post.

The second form is showing an ImageVerification error message but there is no Image Verifiaction inptu showing. it looks as though you have Anti-Spam set to Yes but haven't included the {imageverification} placeholder in the Form HTML.

Awesome GreyHead - works perfectly!😀
Next question - regarding uploaded files. I had entered "jpg,giff,pdf" as the accepted upload file types - however files will not upload. Also based on your experience what do you recommend as a reasonable file size for uploads. And yes I do owe you a beer or two for all your help 8)

Hi iceman007,

The syntax for the "Field names/allowed Extensions/sizes(KB)" box is in the tooltip. It will be something like
file_1:jpg|gif|pdf{10000-0}
where 10000 is the maximul allowable file size in Kb and 0 is the minimum.

Hard to say what the maximum allowable file sizes should be. There will be a limit set on your server which you can see from the max_file_uploads setting in the php.ini file

For normal images and document 2000kb is probably enough.
