uploaded image not attached to email

I know this is a common question - but sorting through the many threads is tough - sorry😟

Here's my setup:
Joomla 1.5.6
Chronoforms 3.0 stable

Form Tag Attachment: enctype='multipart/form-data'
File Uploads Allowed: Yes
Field Names/Ext: file_2:jpg|png|gif{1000-1}
Email Template: File: {file_2}
Field Html: <div class="form_item"><div class="form_element cf_fileupload"><label class="cf_label">Upload your pic</label><input class="cf_inputbox" size="20" id="file_2" name="file_2" type="file"></div>

Right now I'm getting the name of the file in the email - I would like that actual file as an attachment...

Is that possible? Thanks Max🙂

Hi Rod,

lets first check that file got uploaded to component/com_chronocontact/uploads/form name/ ?

then please overwrite your file with the attached one, seems that I missed something which will be necessary for some users...

let me know soon.

Max

Rod

No problems, Thanks! Thanks also for the confirmation.🙂

We're trying to upload PDF and word doc files. The confirmation page is displayed and the email is sent successfully. The email template contains the upload field's tag name (namely {resume}), but it doesn't contain the attachment.

I reviewed my form, which is in /components/com_chronocontact/uploads/submit-resume (name of form is submit-resume) and nothing is in there but the default index.html file. I also set the submit-resume folder to 777 just in case.

So there are no errors, yet no attachment nor saved file in the folder. Please advise.

I figured out my problem. 😀

First, /components/com_chronocontact/uploads/[name-of-form] should be a writeable folder, as I mentioned before. (Permissions set to 777)

But also, there's a File Upload tab that is crucial to the operation of this. I changed the name of the upload field using the Form Wizard. Because I changed the name, the File Upload tab had to be manually updated because it had the old field name. So I changed the following option:
Field names & allowed Extensions & sizes(KB) for each

The first part of the coding is the name of the field, which I renamed to "resume". So I had to manually type in the field name; I changed it from:
[size=150][color=#FF0000]file_2[/color]:doc|docx|pdf|rtf|txt{300-5}, .docx, .doc, .rtf, .txt{300-}[/size]
to
[size=150][color=#008000]resume[/color]:doc|docx|pdf|rtf|txt{300-5}, .docx, .doc, .rtf, .txt{300-}[/size]

Obviously, file uploads have to be enabled as well.

Hope this helps someone out there.🙂

Hi toneee,

Glad you got it sorted - there's a File Uploads tutorial that covers most of this but I should update it to cover the field renaming more explicitly.

PS Looks like some junk in the end of the file upload entries shoudl just be resume:doc|docx|pdf|rtf|txt{300-5}

Thanks Bob. Do you have a link to this tutorial?

Hi toneee,

It's a pdf file here

Thanks, we'll check it out. You have a fantastic product and worth paying for. You should also consider making it for WordPress, Drupal, and as a standalone product if you haven't already.
