Hello

Can anyone tell me where I configure the file upload details. i.e. where do i put the details of the field that allows the file upload.

Silly thing is, i've already done it once and it works fine, but now i'm trying to add a second upload option on the form and for the life of me I can not find the configuration form.

I'm using 4.0 RC2.0

Many thanks

Badger

Hey Bob

Many thanks. So I "remembered" how to configure the form! but only one of the attachments is being emailed.

The debug data is below,there are 2 forms, letter and upload

Are you able to see what i have done wrong from this?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Badger,

What do you have in the Attachments box in the Email Configuration?

Bob

Doh, I knew it was going ot be something silly I had missed.

Thank you very much, problem resolved.

i am a newbie,

i have this same issue

but i dont understand:

What do you have in the Attachments box in the Email Configuration?

where do i find the Email Configuration/ Attachments box?

I am not sure if this is the same issue though, in my database results there is also no file, what is most likely the case then?

Hi bathulshof,

Which version of ChronoForms are you using? You can find the version from Site Admin | Extensions | Install/Uninstall | Components in Joomla! 1.5 or Site Admin | Extensions | Extension Manager | Manage in Joomla! 1.6.

in my database results there is also no file, what is most likely the case then?

The problem is probably that the file isn't being uploaded at all. Can you see it on you server?

Bob

Hi,

i am using 4.0 RC3.0 , just downloaded and purchased an hour ago, on joomla 1.7.3

i dont see the files in the uploads map on my server, the chmod is 755, is that a problem? i do have the FTP layer on at this moment since it is a website still in development

Hi barthulshof,

Please try turning the FTP layer off temporarily. Sometimes the FTP user has different permissions and Joomla! will try to use FTP if it is enabled.

If that doesn't fix it, please drag a DeBugger action into the On Submit event and post the results here.

Bob

Hi,I am in the same boat as you.
This is the Debugger output

I can find the uploaded file in the chromoforms folder ok but when i receive the email nothing is atached.I must have missed something basic-I've watched your video but nothing I've tried helps

I don't understand the above comments about FTP layers--is it relevant?

i also forgot to put the upload files action at the top of the submit actions

my issue is solved.

Solution:

i didnt determine the upload file field id & allowed extensions in the Upload Files settings on submit action

input_file_0:doc-docx-pdf,input_file_1:doc-docx-pdf

@ spyderwebs

when you go to the OnSubmit area and press on the Send e-mail action settings button, do you have your attachment fields filled out? "Attachments fields name"

and if you press Template in the same config area do you have your file fields in your e-mail template?

Solved thanks-- it was finger trouble ie file-upload is not the same as file_upload!!!

Well almost solved. Images refuse to upload to the server. Debugger says file extension not allowed yet I have put JPEG in the same place as doc-docx etc. Is there another tweak I have to do??

Hi spyderwebs,

The extensions are case-sensitive (a little but I think ) so you may need -JPG-jpg-JPEG-jpeg

Bob

The video tutorial is great, but because it left out the step of putting the allowed upload fields in the email action, I had a bit of frustration in the process. Oh well, works now!

Hi Greg,

Yes I know, my mistake. I did add a comment in the description - easier than remaking the video :-(

Bob

And I would have seen it too, if Youtube had not started hiding most of the video description in that 'Read More' panel🙂

Maybe if you made a comment on your own video, it would be obvious enough for the bleary-eyed?

Hi Greg,

Good idea, I hadn't thought of that. I've added an annotation near the end of the video.

Bob

Wow, I just saw my registration date, have I been messing about with your plugins for 5 years?? I really need a better hobby! :mrgreen:
