I chose to do this rather than upgrade Machform to 4.5 because that would have meant me having to redo all my customizations (see previous posts). Having only upgraded to 4.4 a few days ago and re-customizing I'm sure you can see why I did not want to do this. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/ver44-inserting-back-slashes-in-my-html-e-mail-notifications-area#post-23778 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 10:44:53 +0000 yuniar 23778@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>This has been fixed on v4.5<br /> The bug on v4.4 only affected to those website server having PHP 5.3 and magic_quotes_gpc set to "On" (the default is "Off").</p> <p>If you're running v4.5 and still getting the issue, try to create a new form first and test it with your new form.<br /> If the problem persist, please contact us directly. We'll help you through the support ticket. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/ver44-inserting-back-slashes-in-my-html-e-mail-notifications-area#post-23760 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 02:33:20 +0000 Robolovsky 23760@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I have exactly the same problem. Has this been rectified in version 4.5.? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/ver44-inserting-back-slashes-in-my-html-e-mail-notifications-area#post-23735 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 12:59:53 +0000 yuniar 23735@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thank you for reporting this. This is a bug and we'll release an update to fix this very soon </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/ver44-inserting-back-slashes-in-my-html-e-mail-notifications-area#post-23732 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 04:48:34 +0000 toddbuchanan 23732@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I just downloaded and installed Version 4.4 today (7/29) and updated with out any problems. I was excitied to enable the attach .pdf function for my e-mails (Thnk you for adding this feature!). In the Notification Settings I checked the box to send an e-mail attachement and saved the changes. Then I went back and tested the form with sample information, submitted the form and it sent me an e-mail but there was no .pdf attachement. </p> <p>And stranger still is that when I went back to edit/check the Notification Settings, the HTML text in the E-mail Content block had multiple back slahes added to the e-mail area in the HTML links in the text area. (I did not insert any of these back slashes...they just appeared there after sending the first one)...</p> <p>I have tried to paste code here but it is not rendering correctly even when I put code in between "backticks"....</p> <p>basically on any html link, it adds several back ticks like this: "\\\\\" at the begning and end of the link.</p> <p>Any thoughts on how to fix this? </p>
