Attach file from URL

Attach a file from a URL in ChronoForms.

Overview

The issue occurs when trying to use a full HTTP URL in the attachment property, which the CF mailer does not support for remote files.
To attach files, ensure they are on the same server and use the local file path instead of a URL in the attachment settings.

Answer

You can't just using the CF mailer. You'd probably have to do it yourself using the PHPMailer.

Also though: Why?

Because I have some PDF files on my HTTP server and I would like to attach them when I send an email to a my customer.
Could I ask to evaluate to add this functionality to a next release?

Use the contact button up top and ask the developer.

Hi hwsassisi ,

You can include a download link to the files in the email - or if they are on the same server as the form you can attach the files themselves.

Yes, they are on the same server, but it seems to me that setting the full url into the attachment property of the email, no file is attached

Needs to be a file path not a url if you want to attach them to the email.
