file doesn't upload

lcasterman 04 Jun, 2008
hello

I know I'm not the first having this problem but even after reading nearly all the threads on the site + others... I still don't get my file uploaded and sent with my form.
I'm quite sure it's something stupid but I can't find it. thanks to anyone who could save me some hours of sleep😗

I've followed the instructions of the FAQ and everything is ok, except the CHMOD that I didn't find but so far as I understood this is for linux config and not Windows Vista (sorry about that). Maybe is the problem coming from this config ?
I also change my config to use the 'My templates' as described in a post but no change.

The record is writting in the DB but no reference about the attached file of course.

thanks a lot to anyone who could help me!

Hi lcasterman,

First things first. Is your file being uploaded at all? If you look in the components/com_chronocontact/uploads folder is it there?

If not, please take a BackUp copy of your form and send it to me at the email address in my sig.

You say you are on Vista - are you running on a local webserver like Xammp??

thanks to Bob, the problem is solved.

I'm posting the solution, hoping it could save time to other🙂

Pay attention that the field name are case sensitive...
so if in your HTML form, the input name="Upload", pay attention that under the file upload tab, you write exactly in the same way Upload:doc etc. I was writing upload... and the system is case sensitive.

Once again, thank you Bob for having helping me in less than 12 hours... what a service, RESPECT🙂


Cheers
Luc
