Hi, I have the requirement to create numerous ‘upload directories’ in addition to the ‘Main Upload Directory’.

I had begun by placing these new directories within the ‘Main Upload Directory’ - below is the server path and url for the main

/var/www/vhosts/ourdomain.co.uk/httpdocs/images/uploads/

http://www.ourdomain.co.uk/images/uploads/

I created a new directory named ‘Competition Uploader’ and placed it in the FTP folder and also created it within the file upload preferences in the EE control panel too - path and url below

/var/www/vhosts/ourdomain.co.uk/httpdocs/images/uploads/competition_uploader/

http://www.ourdomain.co.uk/images/uploads/competition_uploader/

I am also using Solspaces Freeform to enable people to upload images to this folder for a competition, however when trying to upload we are presented with an error. Below is the header for the Freeform where you’ll see I have specified the directory as ‘Competition Uploader’ as opposed to the standard ‘Main Upload Directory’

{exp:freeform:form form_name="competition_uploader" template="competition_uploader" file_upload ="Competition Uploader" notify="[email protected]" send_attachment="yes" return="thank-you/offer" }

Have also tried moving the folder outside the main folder and in the upper level and also top level too, but still doesnt work.

Am I missing something?

Any help would be most grateful.

Scott,

Have you made that new folder writeable with permissions of 777?

What was the error?

If you use your File Manager are you able to upload?

If you are then you will have to use Solspace’s support as it looks then like an issue with Freeform itself

always the simplest of things (”,) - I changed the permissions to 777 and it now works a treat.

Thanks

Hi Scott,

Glad that John Henry was able to help you with this. Please post back if you have further questions or problems.

Cheers

Greg
