Hi, cformsII is simply the best Wordpress plugin out there. Keep up the good work!

I'd like to implement this to one of my upcoming projects, and the file upload functionality is the most important feature to me. Users are gonna upload large files to the server using this form, so the upload progress bar is a must.

If you're not implementing this feature to the current cforms plugin, then please guide me how I can add this feature to the form plugin. It would be great if there are any upload progress bar code available that can be used with cformsII out of the box.

I might be able to donate a portion of my project budget if you can add this feature for me.

Thank you so much!

make sure you set PHP Mem to large enough amount, otherwise large uploads may stop prematurely.

upload bars can only be realised with flash upload gadgets, the normal browser based upload feature doesn't know about file size, before the file has been uploaded (kinda silly but that's the way it is).

Beside the upload progress bar, I'm having an issue uploading large files.

I have made appropriate changes to the php.ini file. After some extensive research, I found out that the problem lies with the way cformsII is copying file to the server.

It looks like the form sends the file to the server memory. So the file size has be to smaller than the allowed server memory. Unfortunately, this doesn't work for me since I'm making a site for a print shop where users normally upload files larger than 100MB and sometimes exceeding 1GB.

I know from my research that making an upload form whose allowed maximum file size is not limited by the size of the physical memory on the server. Check out the below forum post.

Is there any way you can change the cformsII script so it can upload large files regardless of how much memory the server has? At least point me to the right part of the code where this action is happening.

I really need to resolve this issue one way or the other. Thank you for your help.

of course, cforms if using the <form> POST method to upload files, not an FTP connection.

no unfortunately, not. cforms is a form mailer not an FTP client.
