Hi,

I am using Toolset front end forms and the form works fine except for one thing - when the user is uploading a file (video) to the media library there is no progress bar.

I noticed that the forms don't seem to use AJAX and doesn't start uploading until the submit button is pressed. This is fine, however there is no feedback for the user as to the fact that the form is currently uploading a file. It just looks like nothing is happening.

Is there a way to show the user that the form is uploading and the progress of that upload?

Kind regards,
Joel

Hi Joel,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

I'm afraid, it is not possible to enable a progress bar or a spinner for an individual upload field, but, you can enable the option "Submit this form without reloading the page (use AJAX)" in the form's settings. This will show the spinner for the entire form and will complete the submission using AJAX (i.e. without reloading the page).

regards,
Waqar

Hi Waqar,

Thanks so much for your help. While it would be nice to have a progress bar for the file upload, the AJAX spinner for the form submission will do the job and show the user some feedback with the form upload.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Joel
