Hi,
When I save the configuration, I always get error.
var/www/path/www/nnt.domain.com
domain.com - my domain, but the path is correct.
I attempted to add path to /images/ folder where attachments can be stored like:
var/www/path/www/nnt.domain.com/images/attachments
But it takes the same effect.
Invalid field: COM_ATS_CONFIG_ATTACHMENTS_FOLDER_LABEL
This is a free version of the component.
Regards,
Your path is wrong. Read the field description. It reads:
Enter the folder where ATS will save its attachments. Enter a folder relative to your site's root. Default: media/com_ats/attachments.
You are trying to enter kinda-sorta an absolute (instead of relative) path.
The correct value for what you are trying to do would be images/attachments.
However, what you are doing is actually really bad from a security point of view since images/attachments is publicly accessible. You should use a folder which is not directly accessible from the web. The default folder we ask you to use, media/com_ats/attachments, has a .htaccess and web.config file to prevent direct access to its files. Remember that all attachments are downloaded through ATS, using server-side PHP code. They are not linked to directly. This is what prevents someone who should not view the attachment but has a link to it from accessing and downloading the attachment.

media/com_ats/attachments
It works.
By the way, this path: var/www/path/www/nnt.domain.com
was added by the system by default after the component installation, so it was not my experiment. And I just did not notice tooltip.
With your advice, all is fine now.
Now this problem with "sending anonymous data to Joomla" is resolved too after the correct configuration saving.
