field not showing on after validation

I’m working on this issue as well. Been traveling all day and this is the first chance I’ve had to sit down. Be patient. As they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

I hope our suggestion and discussion will make the add-on more reliable and user’s choice..
carry on

I’m hoping to have this next release finished today that will allow you to set a custom upload directory and filename.

I originally wrote this plugin over two years ago so I’m also cleaning things up as I go along.

pls add functionality for file rename with value from same form’s another field.
rename file as user input..

plz look after the multiple aviary field on same form…
as well as problem of lost javascript on page validation.

I’ve just committed a new version that will allow you to set a custom upload directory in Aviary Options.

The ability to set a custom file name based on another form field is significantly more involved. This may take time to implement. Plus, this will likely only occur when the whole form itself is submitted.

The issue with the Aviary stuff disappearing on form validation errors and multi-page forms, is due to the aviary field and preview image being rendered by javascript. The actual uploaded and edited image is still set in the hidden field Gravity Forms actually uses to reference the image on submission.

As mentioned before, I wrote this a couple years ago and was rushing through it. I’m going back through now and rewriting it to leverage JavaScript and PHP together more efficiently.

This will solve issues with field duplication and a host of others.

I’ll keep you posted as I get more updates rolled out that will help solve some of these other problems.

Great… carry on bro.
yes I found the uploaded file on directory as well as in database. but the problem is if I mistakenly do not select a file and try to go on validation by clicking next button,its also disappeared the Aviary field with no value and I cant select file untill I refreshed the form. At that case Aviary field gone hide with no data… what’s the solution?
if it is going hide with file, no proble, I will get the file after submit. but when without file, what can I do?

The plugin rewrite is going well. Currently, the value persists in a hidden field, even if it appears to have gone away during validation. You will still get the file location after form submission.

The new version I’m working uses php to render the aviary field elements instead of javascript so everything thing will remain regardless of multipage forms or validation.

Each aviary field will have unique id’s so we will also stop running into issues with multiple fields on one form.

These are the most important issues that need to be addressed, so they take priority over feature requests, but I’ll try to include the custom file naming in the new rewritten version.
