Large File Upload

Currently there is no progress bar. We plan on introducing a progress indicator when we introduce multi-file uploads from a single field.

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.

The code looks like this, as with all customizations using hooks and filters it would go in your themes functions.php file:

Change upload directory for all forms:

add_filter("gform_upload_path", "change_upload_path", 20, 2);
        function change_upload_path($path_info, $form_id){
            $path_info["path"] = "/new/path/";
            $path_info["url"] = "http://new_url.com/images/";
            return $path_info;
        }

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:

add_filter("gform_upload_path_4", "change_upload_path");
        function change_upload_path($path_info){
            $path_info["path"] = "/new/path/";
            $path_info["url"] = "http://new_url.com/images/";
            return $path_info;
        }

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.

The PATH is used to actually store the file, the full physical path on the server to the folder you want to store the file. This folder has to have the correct file permissions set on it to allow uploads to go there.

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.

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.

You don't have to provide the link that is created from the URL to people if you don't want to.

You wouldn't modify the path in Gravity Forms by editing a Gravity Forms file.

You would modify the upload path by adding custom PHP to your themes functions.php that uses a filter to set the file upload path.

The hook for this is documented here:
