In the "Files Upload" form action, the upload file path (absolute server path) contains no slash in the end, regardless whether I enter it or not. Thus the file gets uploaded into the parent directory, and its name starts with the target directory name.
Example:
This is my upload file path: /html/dev/data/upload/
This is my file name: test.csv
This is what I expect after uploading: /html/dev/data/upload/20140202215256_test.csv
This is what I really get: /html/dev/data/upload20140202215256_test.csv
Since the slash after "upload" is missing, the file resides in the /html/dev/data/ directory. The $_FILES["myform"]["name"] variable still contains test.csv

And one more bug: obviously it is not possible to set an upload file type with 1 valid extension only. You have to explicitely set the extensions separator and define at least 2 valid extensions, otherwise you get the File type error.

By the way, where is the option for changing the upload file name pattern?

Hi Moni,

Thank you, this is a bug, I didn't test with a custom path, it should work fine with the default path, the fix for the first issue, in the file_upload action, find this line:

$upload_path = substr_replace($upload_path, '', -1);

and comment or delete it!

2nd issue should not happen, what's your file config string ?

Hi Max, I have the same error and tried your fix. It did not help.

Best regards,

Erik

By the way, there's a small typo in the error message:

Couldn't create upload directroy

Best regards,

Erik

Hi Erik,

Please try to add a slash to the end of your path ? or leave the path field completely empty and that should use the default path.

this problem has been fixed in the new release, hopefully to be published this weekend!

Hi Max,

removing the path from the path field completely solves the issue. I look forward to the new release, thank you very much.

Hi, I read this interesting discussion.

I'm using V5 and I look to this article to change the "static_path"

http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/53-cfv4/cfv4-file-uploads/2630-how-can-i-upload-files-under-some-users-folder.html

Now in my case it doesn't work..so I leave empty the Upload Path field in Upload_Field Action and I create the custom code as In the article( I only change the N°77 with my Form ID)

The image is uploaded but in the chronoform's default field?

Could some one help me?

Thanks

Hi Castagno,

You should use the action id, the number in the blue box of the uploads action!

Hi MAx, thanks for your quickly reply.

I modified my code like this

<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$form->actions_config[3]["upload_path"] = "upload/test".DS.$user->get('username').DS;
?>

WHERE 3 is the id of Field Upload Action that I put in "on submit"

and upload/test is the folder in Chronoforms where I'd Like the images go

But nothing works....;-(

The code should be inside a "custom code" action ABOVE the "File uploads".

Also, your path is not complete, you must use a full absolute path, you can find this path under the "System information" in Joomla or in the manual extensions installer!
