This folder has to have the correct file permissions set on it to allow uploads to go there.</p> <p>The URL is the http:// URL to that folder. This is used to link to the file that is uploaded from the entry detail, notification emails, etc. so you can access the file via HTTP.</p> <p>If the file isn't accessible via HTTP the only way to access them would be to manually FTP into your site and access the folder that way. So we have a URL parameter to set the URL for that folder so the files can be linked to.</p> <p>You don't have to provide the link that is created from the URL to people if you don't want to. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/large-file-upload#post-14950 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 14:21:37 +0000 Capstone 14950@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm pretty new to php. I see that two paths are specified in the example. What is each one for, and why are they different?</p> <p>$path_info["path"] = "/new/path/";<br /> $path_info["url"] = "http://new_url.com/images/"; </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/large-file-upload#post-14941 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 12:59:13 +0000 Carl Hancock 14941@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Currently there is no progress bar. We plan on introducing a progress indicator when we introduce multi-file uploads from a single field.</p> <p>Yes, there is a filter you can use to change the upload directory using PHP. You can set this change so it effects ALL forms, or implement it so it only effects SPECIFIC forms.</p> <p>The code looks like this, as with all customizations using hooks and filters it would go in your themes functions.php file:</p> <p>Change upload directory for all forms:</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_upload_path&quot;, &quot;change_upload_path&quot;, 20, 2); function change_upload_path($path_info, $form_id){ $path_info[&quot;path&quot;] = &quot;/new/path/&quot;; $path_info[&quot;url&quot;] = &quot;http://new_url.com/images/&quot;; return $path_info; }</code></pre> <p>Change upload directory for specific form, the "4" in the gform_upload_path_4 below is the form id and this is what you would change for the form you want to customize:</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_upload_path_4&quot;, &quot;change_upload_path&quot;); function change_upload_path($path_info){ $path_info[&quot;path&quot;] = &quot;/new/path/&quot;; $path_info[&quot;url&quot;] = &quot;http://new_url.com/images/&quot;; return $path_info; }</code></pre> <p>You have to get the path correct, I believe it's an absolute path from the root of the server but I can't remember 100% off the top of my head. You have to also set the URL to the upload location, because this is used to then link to the image in the admin, notifications, etc. It may differ from the path as it is absolute. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/large-file-upload#post-14927 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 10:20:37 +0000 trig 14927@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Carl, glad to hear the form can handle it. What I worry about is the user not knowing if it is working or not when the file may be huge. Say 100mb. Is there a way to add a progress bar? Also, is there a way for force those large files into a designated directory of our choice?</p> <p>Truf </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/large-file-upload#post-9847 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 11:59:50 +0000 3dp 9847@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/large-file-upload#post-9833 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 11:12:45 +0000 Carl Hancock 9833@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Gravity Forms can handle any file size as long as your PHP setup can handle it. PHP controls file upload size limits and script timeout. </p>
