Sending an attached file via email (i'm trying but..)

alvaryts 09 Jan, 2015
Hello, I'm trying to attach some images uploaded to an email, but it didn't works.

I'm following this tutorial: http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/53-cfv4/cfv4-file-uploads/2676-how-can-i-attach-uploaded-files-to-an-email.html

Apparently i am doing everything like tutorial says, but as i said, it didn't works.

You can see the attached images with comments in this post.

Hi alvaryts,

Have you added an Upload Files action to upload the files? That is needed before the Email action.

No i didn't, but i'm doing it now and it's working partially.

My file uploader, allow to upload multiple files (i tried with 2 files), but i'm only receiving the first one, i don't know why.

I attach some captures.

btw bob, thanks a lot.

Hi alvaryts,

That is a question for Max I'm afraid, I don't know quite how that is supposed to work. I think that Max may now have a patch for the Multi-File Upload.

If he doesn't reply here you can use the Contact Us menu above to send and email to him.

Hi,

First, in order to upload all files, you must add "fotos" in the "array fields" in the files upload action.

2nd, the email action is not ready to attach files in multiple mode, so you need a patch for this, please send me a message using the "contact us" page to get it.

Hi Max.

I have installed the patch that you sent me and I have included "fotos" into "Array Fields" and then no files was sent to the email. Before include "fotos" into "Array Fields" only one of the multiple files was sent to the email, but after that, the email was sent without files.

Thanks a lot.

I'm having a similar problem - the multiple file upload sends the images through as text (showing the array):

Photo Upload (Please include any photos of damage to the vehicle) array ( 0 => '20150112131527_2.2L-Land-Rover-Fire-tender-back.jpg', 1 => '20150112131527_2.2L-Land-Rover-Fire-tender-front.jpg', )

But we need either the images attaching to the email, or a link to the images.

Thanks
