URL of uploaded file into mail

Hi

I'm trying to get the code for inserting the URL of the uploaded file into the mail to work.
I changed [file_1] ---> [file_5]

I inserted the code (the one from book) within the 'On Submit code - before...' box

<?php
// get the form uploads information
$MyUploads =& CFUploads::getInstance($MyForm->formrow->id);
// extract the file path
$file_path = $MyUploads->attachments[file_5];
// remove the 'root folder' from the beginning
$file_url = substr($file_path, strlen(JPATH_SITE)+1);
//correct any mis-directed separators
$file_url = str_replace(DS, '/', $file_url);
// add the domain name to the beginning
$file_url = JURI::base().$file_url;
// save the URL into the form results
JRequest::setVar('file_url', $file_url);
?>

In the mail template I have {file_5}. But the only thing I get in the mail (+debug) is the file name (with date) and the extension of the file (.jpg)

The deeper purpose of this is to get the URL inserted into SugarCRM

Can someone explain if I am missing something😟 ?

I use Chronoforms 3.1 RC5.5 and Joomla 1.5.23

Hi marcielo,

Please will you add quotes round file_5 in this line

$file_path = $MyUploads->attachments['file_5'];

and add {file_url} to the Email template.

There's been another thread around exactly this already this week - except that was for posting to SalesForce I think.

Thank you Bob!

I was missing {file_url} in the template😶

Please will you add quotes round file_5 in this line

It doesn't say so in the book and it works fine without the quotes.

I'll take a look at the thread.

Hi marcielo,

Thanks for confirming that the quotes aren't needed. To me the code looks a bit bare without them :-)

Bob

I checked the following thread that I think
you were referring to.
http://chronoengine.com/forums/index.php?option=com_chronoforums&cont=posts&f=2&t=21409

I did:

add a hidden input in the Form HTML with name='file_url' then you can use this to pass the updated value through cURL.

But I get the same issue as in the thread above. I can see that the value is entered in the table, but is not passed through the cURL. I did debug the cURL and I can see that it doesn't pass. I have to mention that I have other fields like 'name' and 'last name' and those values pass fine through the cURL.

You mention that:

There were a few small problems but mostly it was a bug in the cURL Plug-in that forced it to run Before Email

Does it have something to do with that ? I use Chronoforms 3.1 RC5.5

Hi marcielo,

I think the problem with the other thread was a bug in the plug-in that meant that you could only set the plug-in to 'Before Email. Is that what you see?

Bob

Yes, that's what I see, I can't save it as 'After email'

Great I got your fix from the other post and it works:

In components/com_chronocontact/plug-ins/cf_CURL.php look fro this line around line 200 and comment it out or delete it:

 $hidden_array['params[onsubmit]'] = 'before_email';
