ChronoForms v8 is now WordPress ready, ChronoMails is out

Chronoforms v5 static file attachment

van Ginneken 16 Jan, 2014

I need to send an attachment to an email. The attachment is always the same file. It has been uploaded to the server. But somehow, it doesn't work. Is this possible or is it only possible to attach files that have been uploaded?
Thanks!

Hi van Ginneken,

Please see this FAQ which has a solution for CFv4, it may be possible to adapt this for CFv5, so far I haven't had time to test it.

Hi GreyHead.
I have the same question about add a static file attachment to CFv5.
Your solution for CFv4 is including the CFv4 Email [GH] action.
How to install it ?
If I try to install like an extension, I have an error : "JInstaller: :Install: no XML file"

Thanks !

Thanks Max Payne !
Email [GH] action not needed ?

I will try to change this code to send an attachment depending on a select input in my form.

No, this code should work with the default Email action!

This is my code.
It works.

<?php

$files = array (
1 => 'pdf1',
2 => 'pdf2',
3 => 'pdf3'
);

$formation=$form->data['formation'];
$attachment = $files[$formation];
$form->files["candidature"]["path"] = JPATH_SITE."/pdf/".$attachment.'.pdf';

This works perfectly.

Hi ChDUP,

For future reference, you install actions using the Install Action icon in the ChronoForms Forms Manager toolbar but the Email [GH] action is only available for CFv4 at present.
