The upload field is just a normal HTML upload field and can't be managed or changed in any way beyond what a normal HTML upload field can be changed/manipulated. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/after-file-upload-display-message-confirming-upload-and-filename#post-142516 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:24:41 +0000 UT RadOnc 142516@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm not using an add-on - just plain ol' Gravity Forms. :-) However, thanks for getting back to me, David. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/after-file-upload-display-message-confirming-upload-and-filename#post-141714 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 17:09:06 +0000 David Peralty 141714@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Gravity Forms doesn't process file uploads until the user clicks submit. If you are using a different add-on for file uploads, then you'll have to talk to those developers about a way to check if the field is empty or not. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/after-file-upload-display-message-confirming-upload-and-filename#post-141687 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:22:39 +0000 UT RadOnc 141687@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I want to display a confirmation message when the person uploads a file (using the Advanced File Upload field) that shows the filename. If there's an error submitting the form (e.g. a required field wasn't filled in), it does show the filename, but I can't see a way to display the filename after they've browsed and selected the file for upload. </p> <p>The browse field shows the whole address (including the drive and folder names), so the filename isn't visible unless the person knows to click in the field and go to the end of the address. There doesn't even seem to be a way to change the length of the field (whereas many other fields offer small/medium/large sizes).</p> <p>If there was a way to use conditional logic to test if the person had browsed and selected a file, I could create my own message (using HTML with conditional logic), but there doesn't seem to be any way to check if a field is empty and there's no way to know what the filename will be.</p> <p>Many thanks for the help. </p>
