User Attachements

webzight 02 Jan, 2014
I seen to be unfamiliar with the way ChronoForms handles attachments and my survey of the forums has not really put all the dots together as to how this works.

I use another forms app in WordPress that performs this function without a hitch, but ChronoForms seems to have something else going on that I don't quite understand.

Is there a tutorial that shows explicit instructions on how get user attachments sent to the recipient as an email attachment?

Here is the output of the debugger btw ;-)

As addendum I tried to add the files upload feature in the Actions menu and the everything came back as success, except when I went to look for the uploaded file in the server location, the folder it said it loaded the file to, said folder was empty ;-(

OK I say's, where did the file go?

Very strange!

Still NOT getting the file as an attachment in the notification email from the server ;-(

Hi webzight,

Please see this FAQ for attaching files to emails.

Not sure what the upload problem is. Do you see the uploaded file info in the Debugger output? If not then my guess would be that there is a problem with write permissions on one of the folders.

Yes I see the uploaded file in the debugger output, but when I go to the server location, the file is absent :-(
Here's that portion of the Debugger output:

3. Upload routine started for file upload by : BidFile
4. uploads/20140102150746_Test Bid Invoice.xls has been uploaded successfully.

Forgot this part of the Debugger at the very end:
"Attachment file uploaded succefully" (direct copy) ;-)

Okay I checked the permissions on the folder "uploads", it is 755 and file size is 270K with file limit size set to 1MB ;-)

I also looked over the FAQ and I think I am doing exactly what it says to do, but still NO attachment showing up :-(.
webzight 02 Jan, 2014
Okay Bob,
Update to last post, I now have the uploaded files in the locations I specified, i.e. the folder "uploads" or where ever I specify 🙂 .
Don't know why they did not show up at first as I refreshed the server twice ;-)
Weirdness Persists ;-)
Still NO email attachments though ;-(

Hi webzight,

Is the Upload Files action *before* the Email action? If not, please move it.

Bob

NO! The upload files action is the very last thing it does which I am thinking about removing remove BTW.

I just need the files to be attached to the email I receive from the server, don't understand why this should be so hard to do 😟
