TOPIC: Add uploads in submission edit page?

Add uploads in submission edit page? 7 years 4 weeks ago #38070

Good day

I was wondering if there's any way to upload files after a form has been submitted?

So let's say I have an upload field on the main form and the user forgets to attach their attachment.

How can I go and attach their file via the back-end administration using the field on the main form?

Currently when I select the submission and click "Edit", I get the option of choosing the file, but it does not upload the file even if I press "Save".

I'm having the exact same problem. Did you find a solution?

I have rs form installed on two servers, both the same version of joomla (3.9.1) but two different versions of RSForm (2.0.12 on the working site and 2.0.15 on the non working site).

The 2.0.12 is an old server, we have now moved to a new server so I don't think I can upgrade it without buying RSForm again.

I've compared installations and settings and all seems well. To redescribe the problem:

- from the front end one can upload files fine when submitting a form
- then if you edit a submission from the backend and you attempt to upload a file, no file is uploaded. I get a success message (Your changes have been saved) but the fileUpload didn't occur.

I've turned on debugging and checked logs, no errors are getting thrown.

I've verified that its not file type or file size.

I found what the problem is!

For the file upload widget attribute I was not using the full path for the upload location. I only had the directory name off of the joomla installation (i.e. it contained just fileuploads).

This works fine from the front end - but not in the backend. I changed it to be the full path and all is now well. (i.e. changed it to /home/xyz/joomlaInstall/fileuploads)

So the correct solution is to use the full file path on the attributes upload directory for the upload widget.

All is now well.
