1: The file upload field seems fine in the front end, but when you upload files, the files go to a black hole and there’s no evidence of such files (from users uploading a letter of recommendation) anywhere. I am not sure where these files go. The file upload field doesn’t work for me. Is there a Fix?
Files are uploaded to the directory that is configured for the File Upload Preference that you select. Because EE doesn’t provide a way to insert items into it’s internal database for files, they won’t show up in the control panel, but they should be in the physical directory and the generated filename should be set as a value on the field in the entry. It should show up in the entries listing as a filename, and should be available to link to through notification templates and public templates based on this filename.
If the files aren’t being uploaded correctly (check the actual directory, not just the File Manager listing since they don’t show up there), make sure that write permissions are correct for your server environment so that files can be written to the directory.
If this isn’t the issue there may be other configuration items causing a problem, and we can work through each of those. If you see any error messages or anything, please let me know.
2: The excel sheet (export of entries) displays horizontally, is there anyway to display results vertically in an excel sheet? Is there anyway to manipulate the export of the entries? Like…maybe a TXT file, or another export option over than the horizontal excel sheet with the data? For Big forms, it’s kinda hard to print this long sheet of excel data. I would like to see if there’s a way to display them vertically instead of horizontally on an csv sheet.
The exported file is actually just a text file. CSV files are themselves simply text files. You system may be configured to automatically open these files within Excel, but you should still be able to open them in any text editor.
I’m not really sure what you menu by “displays horizontally”. To clarify, you do not want the entries to be listed with columns across the top, and with one row down the side for each entry? That’s what it currently does, with comma separated values for each row’s fields.
You might be looking for something in more of a report format? Such as…
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Entry #10
First Name: Joe
Last Name: Test
Phone: 555-123-4567
Address: 100 Test Street
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Entry #11
First Name: Joe
Last Name: Test
Phone: 555-123-4567
Address: 100 Test Street
If so, I could easily add something like this.
If you have something else in mind, can you post an example of what a couple entries would look like?
