Email Attachments (File Uploads)

jjwp 17 Oct, 2008
Hi,

Having trouble getting the file uploads funtion to work - in fact I haven't been able to get it to work at all. I just want to attach any uploaded files to the email. I don't need to upload the files to a folder or anything like that.

My upload settings:
file1:jpg|doc|pdf{9999999-1}

file1 is the name of my html file upload field.
I have uploads set to "yes"
I'm using chronoforms 3.0 and joomla version 1.5.7

What else do I need to do?

thanks,

jjwp

Hi jjwp,

this is CF v3.0 stable ? turn debug on and see what does it output after form submitted, you must get files uploaded or they can't be attached!

Hi jjwp,

Please see the FAQ "How do I upload files?" - probably you are missing the enctype entry on the General tab.

Hi the jackal,

To see the FAQs click the FAQtab at the top of the page. Here is the FAQ I mentioned. It was written for CF 2.5 but most is still correct:

File uploads are supported by later versions of ChronoForms, if you don't see a 'File Uploads' tab in the Forms Manager then please upgrade.

In the File Uploads tab:

* Set Enable uploads to Yes;
* Add the field names and allowable extensions in the format fieldname:ext1|ext2|ext3,fieldname2:exta|extb|extc . . . (note that '*=all' opens some security problems and has been disabled)
* Put values in both the Max and Min fields (do not leave blank)

In the General tab put enctype='multipart/form-data' in the Form Tag attachment field.

Make sure that your Form HTML has one or more 'file' inputs and that the name(s) are identical to the names you entered in the File Uploads tab.

Note: Your files will be uploaded to the {yoursite}components\com_chronocontact\upload folder which is created when ChronoForms is installed.

We thank you were friendly.
it works!



excuse if you trouble again
as seen from the figure that there is an attached string. How can we fail to make it more tick?
Thanks again for your availability.

But I see the image on the forum 🤨

this is an error indicating that with the arrow? It could be avoided?

Sorry if my English is not so correct, I am Italian and I do help from a translator.

Hi the jackal,

I can see it too now - yesterday I was just seeing a 404 message :-(

The line the arrow points to is part of the ChronoForms debug report.

Turn debug off in the General Tab and it will be hidden.

From translate.Google.com:

Vedo che anche oggi - ieri mi è stato appena vedere un messaggio di 404 :-(
La linea sulla freccia a punti è parte della relazione ChronoForms di debug.
Girare al largo di debug nella scheda Generale e sarà nascosto.
