Issue uploading file when editing a submitted form

Hey,

I think I saw something similar recently. It looks like something changed in the latest updates of Gravity Forms that broken the fields in the entry editor.

I’m about to push out a big update, version 1.3.0 – I’ll get you to try using that version first then if it’s still happening I’ll look further into it.

Version 1.3.0 should be out in the next 24 hours.

Hi there!

Thanks for the update (1.3.0) — Lots of great changes! These changes however do not seem to fix the edit mode upload issue described above. (It allows me to select the file from my computer but still does not write the url into the text field).

Thanks for any assistance with this!

Best,
Michael

OK, that’s curious.

I think we can rule out your Gravity Forms having the ‘no-conflict mode’ enabled — V 1.3.0 added warnings about this option, as it breaks third-party plugins.

I also think we can rule our client side (JavaScript) or server side (php) errors – as the default setting to do little alert windows of error messages would have appeared.

If there was a javascript error (early in the page loading) things wouldnt look right – you would see both the text input and the file input — which I’m assuming isn’t the case, but I’ll ask anyway ! Are you seeing both the text input and file upload field or is the text input hidden?. The text input should be hidden.

When you go to upload, is the upload starting? (you see the progress bar) – does it get past uploading 100% ?

Are you seeing this issue with both the ‘list field ajax upload’ and ‘single ajax upload’ fields?

What should happen is

1. File -> browse
2. Upload JavaScript kicks in – runs a Ajax call in the background
3. When finished, the script gets a message for where the file has been saved
4. This value is saved to the previous input (the text input that is before the file input, in order of the web page content).

It’s curious that it works on the front end but not the back end. If anything I would have thought if you have some special security measures on your WordPress install it would either not work at all or work only in the back end. So I’m not sure that’s the case.

Are you able to give me a list of the plugins you have installed? I’ll try to similuate the same setup and see what results I see.

Also, if this isn’t working in the back end correctly just be VERY careful updating entries as you might end up loosing the links to uploaded files !

Just another thought – are you seeing this issue in all internet browsers or only a particular one?
