Hi there,
I'm using Joomla 3.9 + CF5.
I'm trying to send an email post form to submit, but using a file already existing on the server (no upload file needed).
​
Any ideas?
I cannot able to understand how to set the setup...
​
I created a hidden type called "filepdf" and i need to put it in a file attachment on email settings...

Thanks in advance.

Just put the filepath directly in the email attachment settings, right?

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
​
I've tried to to this but unfortunately didn't work.
​
CF5 EMAIL SETTINGS: Attachment File > {filepdf} or without {}
​
The code in Custom:

<div class="gcore-input gcore-display-table" id="fin-filepdf"><input type="hidden" id="filepdf_ghost" data-ghost="1" value="<?php echo $filepdf; ?>" class="form-control A" name="filepdf" />
<input name="filepdf" id="filepdf" class="form-control gcore-height-auto A" title="" style="" multiple="0" data-load-state="" data-tooltip="" type="file" /></div></div>

$filepdf is the address where the file is stored.
​
​
Any ideas?

Just put the filepath directly in the attachment file setting, don't put it in a hidden input. That's a terribly stupid way of doing it, because I could press F12, replace it with a different filepath, and download any file on your server I want.

Where exactly? I cannot see this kind of settings.
Could you kindl give me an example?

Where you put {filepdf} put a full path to your file instead

I tried to put this > variazioni_mensili/420/20170308163609-DI GIUSTO MIRKO-MODULI SINDACATI-2017Febbraio.pdf but it'doesnt work.....
​
Obiuvsly, the address is correct (i mean, if i put the code in the bar address i'm able to see the document)

No it's not obvious. Needs to be a FILE PATH not a URL

Sorry, i'm not an expert..
How can i discover the file path from the address?
If i take a look to the folder, the PATH is exactly the same.
​

Hi, solved the issue in this way:
​
<?php

$path = JPATH_SITE.'/'.$_POST['filepdf'];
$form->files['allegato']['path'] = $path;




?>

Follow the istructions from https://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/70-chronoforms/cfv5/5224-how-can-i-attach-files-from-my-server-to-an-email-in-cfv5
Thanks

Again if you do that, you will let a person download any file they want from your server.
​
Just echo JPATH_SITE.'/'.$_POST['filepdf']; and that should give you thge file path you're after

OK I see my confusion. You should follow the very first piece of code on that FAQ.

Don't worry. Thanks for your help anyway
