Hi Naval, Cracked it!

Went to one of your previous threads and found the answer which was that I hadn't named the fields properly.

Cheers, happy now!

Re: How to upload a file using a form

Now right click your new created folder, and set the permissions to 777

Thank you for all the info! I really needed this for my site The only thing I cannot figure out how to do is set the permissions to 777. I am in the Permissions for Upload file properties, but do not know exactly what to do from there. Thanks for your help!
Have a great day!

Re: How to upload a file using a form

if you are a VH customer, you don't need to use this script (this is old fashioned!)

Simply use the Form Wizard and it's built in Form Processor, OR use ABVFP.

They can both take care automatically of everything!

If you are not a VH customer, use ABVFP which runs on any server that supports MySQL /php

Last. if you insist on using this script, connect to your site with FTP, select the folder you use for the uploads, select Permissions (or properties, for some FTP softwares) and set them to 777.

Re: How to upload a file using a form

Okay, now I am totally lost..LOL.....I am a VH customer and very very new at forms. I did build the form with the wizard but it won't submit. As far as the permissions, just leave it alone because I used the wizard? Sorry to be a pain, I did not realize this was old (oops)
Thanks for your help

Re: How to upload a file using a form

As you mention before... the above tutorial is outdated... is there a similar one where I can see step by step what I have to do to create an upload form?

The video tutorial doesn't give much detail about upload forms and I can't find the right path to do this...

Thx

Re: How to upload a file using a form

I can upload the files properly to the uploads folder but I can't upload the videos... it actually does the action of uploading the video but then I cannot find the file anywhere in the server... it's a video of 3MB so it shouldn't be a big deal...

Help... I need some help...

Thx

Re: How to upload a file using a form

The problem is that there is some kind of restriction to the file size limit around 2MB I'm not sure yet.

But I can upload any file video or anything it it is smaller then 2 MB, but then if it's bigger
I cannot upload it no matter what type of file it is.

I have changed all the forms that a created on the ABVFP but that doesn't do anything...

There must be some kind of restriction internally on the server .

You've heard of a problem like this?

Thx

This requires Ajax coding that is quite complicated. For VERY advanced users only.

Re: How to upload a file using a form

I want to have an "upload" feature on my site so that clients can upload photos for photo repair. Sometimes these files are large. . .up to 15 mgs. I have two questions:

1. Is there a limit for size upload (I didn't see any way to set it or adjust)
2. Where does the uploaded file go? I saw no feature to designate what file folder an uploaded file should be sent to.

Thanks

Re: How to upload a file using a form

The BV built in form processor can upload files. However, filesize is limited to (usually) 8 - 12 MBs. Support can increase this with a .htaccess file to 20 - 30 MBs.

Files end up in the predefined "uploads" folder . You can set the destination folder in the built in form processor properties.

Re: How to upload a file using a form

Thanks Nav. . .I'm at the properties box but I don't see how to designate the file folder. The properties box has a "general" 'styles" and "validate" tabs. . but I don't see where it asks for destination folder. thanks for your help.
