Multiple Non-required files

TheWholeNote 04 Nov, 2014

So, I've made a form that has 4 places to upload files, and none of them are "required". The problem I have is that if someone only uploads one file, no files get saved or attached to email. If I upload files in all the fields, it works, but not if I don't upload to all the fields.

That makes my brain hurt just reading it, but hopefully this makes sense and someone can help. PLEASE!?

Hi TheWholeNote,

I don't know of any reason for this. The only bug I know of with the file upload is that if there are several then if the first one isn't used the remainder are ignored - and this may have been fixed in the latest release?

Please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and post the debug results here.

OK... Here's the debug info for one that failed:

Answer

There is a small bug, if the first field defined in the "Files config" box is empty then no other fields will be uploaded, and if another 1 is empty or has errors then the next ones will not be uploaded.

You can send me a message using the "contact us" page to get a patch for this, but please verify that's the issue you have now.

Hello Max,
I have the same problem. Is it fixed now?
Thanks

luzi 07 Nov, 2014

By the way, here is the errorcode I get, if I upload only 1 file (3 are possible):

Yes, this does seem to be the case... Files only upload so long as I have something in all the boxes before it... Wow, that was a bad sentence, but I think you get what I mean. I'll contact you via the Contact Us page and ask for the fix.

Peace and Thanks,
TheWholeNote

Max_admin 07 Nov, 2014

Thanks, I will send you the file!

@Luzi, the error you get is from the email action, I have fixed this now, but it should not affect the uploads which you can check using a "Debugger" action.

Max
