Chronoforms 6 - Embeeding Signature Widget results as Attachment

Hello guys!

I have a question.

How do you exactly make the Chronoform v6 "attach" the obtained signatures both as "result page" (for printing) and as email?

I have been having issues since the last update. The images no longer appear when invoking them using the {data:field} code.
They now appear in the bottom in a huge string of text of base64 PNG format.

Emails are exactly the same, no real content and no attachments.

I tried to follow these suggestions: https://www.chronoengine.com/forums/posts/t99435/p358404.html
But the images appear broken.

I'm having almost the same issue. The post that cesar links to is for v5. The png file saves to the server, although with a size of zero. Also, in v6, based on the signature FAQ, I'm not sure where to place the {sig_img} "in the email template".

Thanks!

Hello,

Apologies for the late reply!

I understand from the first post that this used to work before the latest update ?

Here is an example of a working image tag with base64 format:

<img src="data:image/png;base64, iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUA
AAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO
    9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==" alt="Red dot" />

So the end HTML code of your email/page should have a similar syntax to the example above, is this the case ?

According to the debug you would need to use this code in the email:

<img src="{data:Signature1}" />

Best regards

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?
