little issue with attachments

Hi

I managed to create an entry form that besides other fields has also 3 "upload file" boxes. I am testing it and made it work, however there's a small issue:
- after filling in all the fields and emailing it I receive the following error followed by the "thank you!" message:

Warning: array_values() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/achifro/public_html/joomla/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/email/email.php on line 205

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/achifro/public_html/joomla/administrator/components/com_chronoforms/form_actions/email/email.php on line 206

Multumim pentru inscriere! Thank you for your entry!

In the mentioned file, I have the following code on the mentioned lines

if($form->files[$attachment] === array_values($form->files[$attachment])){
						foreach($form->files[$attachment] as $m_file){

- the email arrives well, but only contains 2 out of 3 attached files
- in the uploads folder I have all 3 files
However I must do something so that the error message won't show and also to make sure all 3 files arrive by email, as after the form will be online and running there will be another person that will receive the email with the form and I won't be around for each email she will get

Thank you in advance for any help!

Hi irbis,

You can usually hide PHP Warnings (which are just warnings, not errors) by setting Error Reporting to System Default or None in the site Global Configuration.

I'm not sure why you are only getting two files attached though: please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and post the debug - including the 'dummy emails' results here.

Hi

Thanks for the help.
I'm not sure what I should post, therefore I am posting all I got after the submission.

Hi irbis,

The .jpg file is missing. What do you have in the Email attachments box? It should be something like: pedigree,certificate,plata

Bob

PS
a) You probably should use radio buttons for gender, not a checkbox group. If you use a checkbox group then please drag a Handle Arrays action into the OnSubmit event and move it up before the Email action.

b) The date of birth entry in the Email template looks as though it should be updated to {input_datetime_23} and the input_file entries also need to be updated to {certificate}, {plata} and {pedigree}

Hi,

Thanks for your help.
I am a bit messy when it comes about these settings.
I tried to use a radio button, but I after testing I didn't receive the value in the email (male or female), I only have something like that {input_checkbox_group_9}
Anyway, then I made a drop down instead for the Gender, but still doesn't work. The other drop down with the class works fine.
With the date of birth I also have a problem. I tried to have a simple text box where the date of birth could be entered but in the email I receive {input_datetime_4}.

This is the debugging after the latest version

Hi irbis,

To repeat: what do you have in the Attachments box of the Email action?

For your other questions - when you change an input you must make sure that you update the email template to match. (Or change the name of the input to match the name in the template.)

Hi,

If I understood correctly your question and checked in the right place, i have the following: pedigree,certificate,plata

I think I made it work! I have 3 attachments, all fields are ok now.
Now I realize what I was my fault and you enlightened me to discover it. 🙂
I was not generating the auto template and there where some things that didn't match.

In the morning I will retest it again when my brain will be rested and I hope it will stay as it is or maybe I can bring some improvements to the current form.

Thanks for the support!

2 months passed since our discussion. Now the website must be up and running with the Form that you helped me to make work.
Now, I removed the Handle Arrays and Debugger. I hope that shouldn't affect the form.
But I just don't remember how I should generate the auto code. 2 months of absence and I am completely lost.

Thanks!

Hi irbis,

You should remove the Debugger action.

Leave the Handle Arrays if you have any multi-choice elements in your form (i.e. check box groups or multi-select drop-downs).

You can regenerate the Email Template in the Email action.

Hi,

I removed the Debugger and the Handle Arrays.
I don't have multi choice elements - at least this is what I think🙂 I have some check boxes, but there is only 1 box/element. The Drop-down list also have single selections.
Thanks for the help.
