Uploads-Module: form doesn't react

clapczyn · **Joined:** Tue Oct 27, 2009 2:00 pm **Posts:** 42

Hello,

maybe someone can help me with this.
I use the Uploads-Module with 5 categories. These are static and displayed like folders with the categorysummary action:

Code:

{cms_module module="Uploads" action="categorysummary" template="summarytemplate" sortorder="name_asc" listingtemplate="listtemplate" listingsortorder="listsortorder"}

The summarytemplate creates links with namelink:

Code:

{foreach from=$items item='entry' name='uploads'}
{$entry->namelink}
{/foreach}

When you select one of those links the listtemplate returns all the files of that category and displays the upload form:

Code:

{foreach from=$items item='entry' name='uploads'}
{$entry->upload_name}, etc.
{/foreach}
{cms_module module="Uploads" category=$category_name mode="upload" nocaptcha="1" noauthor="1"}

But that form unforunately doesn't work - when you press "submit" nothing happens!
When I put the upload form directly on a page and write the categoryname (for instance category="mycategory") it works.

I'm getting really frustrated - can anybody help me with this?

Thx, Stefan

*edit*
Maybe this is a clue:
when I call the uploadform from a page the URL is standard:

Code:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=sitename

when I call it from within the Module the url is

Code:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?mact=Uploads,cntnt01,default,0&cntnt01category=Formulare&cntnt01mode=summary&cntnt01sortorder=listsortorder&cntnt01template=listtemplate&cntnt01returnid=121

could this be the problem, and if yes does anybody know how I can get it to work?

Thx again

try this:
in stead of

Code:

{cms_module module="Uploads" category=$category_name mode="upload" nocaptcha="1" noauthor="1"}

put this in your template:

Code:

{$category_name}

What is the output? If it doesn't give you the category name, you'll know where to look

Hello Jos,

Thx for your tip, I've checked but category_name works as it's supposed to and has the correct name in it.
I also thought the problem is with the form call itself since the form works when called from a page.
The submit-button doesn't react at all – no error or page refresh or anything else …

Button looks right – this do at least something

Code:

Any other ideas?

I know, it's not nice to bump but I need this and it's urgent ...
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction?

Thx again!

We use it for the theme site and use a different uploads form for each category...

Hi,

a different form for each works, but I'd prefere to have a form in each "folder"
A dropdown would also be okay, but I didn't get far with that approach aswell. It works to pass the selected item to a template that calls the form, but then again – submit button doesn't react …

If it doesn't work I'll have to make it with one form for each folder, but right now I'm not willing to give up …
So if anybody has another idea, I'll give it a try

Hi Stephan,
I know this thread is kind of old but did you ever solve this? I've run into the same thing embedding a call to the upload form when using the categorysummary mode.
Thanks!
