As a simple and functional work around I embedded a link to the file/s requested in the body of the notification email (it accepts HTML). There is an added upside to this method, if you update the info pack/file/files (T & C's), replace the existing files keeping the same name, any contact that has the original email with the link will ALWAYS get the most up to date version of the file Hope that helps HoughtonCR on "Add attachment to auto responder email *VERSION 3*" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/add-attachment-to-notification-email-version-3#post-21039 Wed, 14 May 2014 23:41:33 +0000 HoughtonCR 21039@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I agree that function would be excellent to be able to provide. This is for two scenarios: 1) We get a great many requests for brochure request forms for websites. The web browser fills in a brochure request, it is stored in the database and we would love to be able to send a file(s) with the auto confirmation email. 2) Whenever you sell something it is a good idea to send the terms and conditions of sale. Again from this form the ability to add a T's&C's file to the email would be excellent. Please please please?

Could use the IF function and/or just add a field that defines location of form to include it in email. Better yet, let them download it with by clicking a link in the email confirmation. Just add a clickable hyperlink in email. For now, I just redirect them to a page on website with forms so they download them. Person filling form would opt /select 1-2-3 different forms to be included in auto response. Have talent agency. Once they fill out section with needed items, and if they can work in a movie, then the get: 1- Details for wardrobe 2- map to Base Camp 3- Agency notes on what to do/not do. stephenheath on "Add attachment to auto responder email *VERSION 3*" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/add-attachment-to-notification-email-version-3#post-18688 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 22:36:39 +0000 stephenheath 18688@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Possible feature for a future release? yuniar on "Add attachment to auto responder email *VERSION 3*" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/add-attachment-to-notification-email-version-3#post-18680 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 22:28:30 +0000 yuniar 18680@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Yes, the above code would add it to all of your forms. To apply the code to certain form, you'll need to enclose the code with "IF" statement block. stephenheath on "Add attachment to auto responder email *VERSION 3*" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/add-attachment-to-notification-email-version-3#post-18665 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 20:19:51 +0000 stephenheath 18665@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I would like to add an attachment to the outoresponder email, but just on one form - I assume the code above would include the attachment for all forms? yuniar on "Add attachment to auto responder email *VERSION 3*" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/add-attachment-to-notification-email-version-3#post-15443 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 17:07:31 +0000 yuniar 15443@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Glen -- that one is the code to send the uploaded files as attachment. This one already part of the core MachForm. The one posted by steve above is the code to attach any file (located anywhere on your server) to the autoresponder email. gbuecker on "Add attachment to auto responder email *VERSION 3*" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/add-attachment-to-notification-email-version-3#post-15435 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 04:53:05 +0000 gbuecker 15435@https://www.machform.com/forums/ What about the code that follows your addition? //attach files, if any if(!empty($files_to_attach)){ foreach ($files_to_attach as $file_data){ $s_message->attach(Swift_Attachment::fromPath($file_data['filename_path'])->setFilename($file_data['filename_value'])); } } Is this a holder from a previous version or a possible future addition?

File location: /includes/helper-functions.php Line #748 Change this: <pre><code>$s_message = Swift_Message::newInstance() ->setCharset('utf-8') ->setMaxLineLength(1000) ->setSubject($subject) ->setFrom(array($from_email => $from_name)) ->setSender($from_email) ->setReturnPath($from_email) ->setTo($email_address) ->setBody($email_content, $email_content_type);</code></pre> To this: <pre><code>$s_message = Swift_Message::newInstance() ->setCharset('utf-8') ->setMaxLineLength(1000) ->setSubject($subject) ->setFrom(array($from_email => $from_name)) ->setSender($from_email) ->setReturnPath($from_email) ->setTo($email_address) ->setBody($email_content, $email_content_type) ->attach(Swift_Attachment::fromPath('http://www.domainname.com/filename.ext'));</code></pre> That will attach the file to the auto responder email. I just used an absolute url to the file, in my case I wanted to attach a vCard (.vcf) to the auto responder email. Hope this helps someone.
