It is my first time with Chrono Engine, my first time with Joomla and first time creating a website.

I am having trouble with getting an email result from the form on my web site.

Can u help?

Hi annmariegil,

I wish you will like joomla and Chronoforms, so, its hard to tell why the email are not getting sent because there are too many reasons which may cause this, lets start with those 2 simple steps :

#1- read the FAQ page here :
http://www.chronoengine.com/component/option,com_easyfaq/task,view/id,36/Itemid,38/

#2- if none of the FAQs above made it then can you take a screenshot of your general tab and post it here ? also, assure all your "special fields" tab fields are empty!

Cheers

Max

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?

Hi,

I'm having the same problem. My uploaded file gets created, but no email is being generated. I've followed the FAQ and email is working from Joomla. The form sends the email if I remove the code: enctype="multipart/form-data"
HELP!

Thanks for the response!

I'm using Joomla 1.5 and with the updated code, I'm able to receive the file as an attachment in an email. THANK YOU!

I would also like to include some info about the logged in user that submitted the file. I am unable to capture the info in a hidden field on the form when using enctype="multipart/form-data"

Could you please advise on how to include this additional information in the email that gets generated?

Thanks!

Hi tadosborn,

From the form you posted below it looks as though you are just getting the user object not the id. Try this code for your form
<?php 
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
?>
<h2>Upload MRI</h2>
<input type="file" name="MriFile" />
<input type="hidden" name="UserID" value="<?php echo $user->get('id'); ?>" />
<input type="submit" value="Upload MRI" />
