How to get forms to send attachments to email recipients?

Permalink
When someone submits a form with a file attached the actual file does not get emailed to the recipients. I have to go into the dashboard to retrieve the form.

How do I force the form to send the attachment to the email recipients?

Thank you.

Hi!

The Mail api of C5 doesn't send attachments afaik. I fear you've to use a different api, like phpmailer.

concrete5 actually uses the zend mailing library, which has really good support for attachments. i used it on the mailing list package:http://inneroptics.net/concrete5/mailing-list/...

try doing some google searching the zend framework mail attachments

hmm didn't know that Tony, I've searched through all files within the Mail folder + the MailHelper, then I crawled the C5 API but didn't found it documented.

It's not documented in the c5 api then.
http://www.concrete5.org/api/Helpers/MailHelper.html... andhttp://docs.concrete5addons.com/classMailHelper.html...

Seems that I've missed line 133 in :
/concrete/libraries/3rdparty/Zend/Mail/Transport/Abstract.php

But you've to admi that this is really hard to find, if you don't explicitely look at the ZF Docs.

if ($this->_mail->hasAttachments) {
                    $type = Zend_Mime::MULTIPART_MIXED;
...


I should have looked better at the ZF Docs.

So do we delete this statement in order for the attachment to be sent with the email data?
