Hi

I have a \"file upload\" field and is expecting jpeg format files. File can be successfully uploaded in the \"upload\" folder. However the file name is changed when residing in the server folder. I tested uploading the file filename.jpeg but the file name that i see in the \"upload\" folder is something like 9999811564646e16eee1f35.32835748.jpg. How do i decode this file name?

Also i added {Image} where Image is my fild ID of the file upload field. However i am unsuccessful to see what file is uploaded in my automated email...Is there anything i am missing? How do track what file is uploaded through the form in the automated email?

Please help

Try adding this line to your e-mail text:

The image i uploaded is:
www.mywebsite.com/components/com_forme/uploads/{Image}

This will create a link to the image that was just uploaded. The reason a file is being renamed is because if 2 persons upload \"picture.jpg\" it gets overwritten.

Let me know if it works for you.

Hello,

I have tried that method and thus have used the code given, replacing of course the domain name by mine and {Image} by {resume} (the name of my file upload field) BUT when I receive the mail the link still finishes with {resume} :
www.mywebsite.com/components/com_forme/upload/{resume}

Every other field is rendered fine, and the file *is* uploaded, so I really don't know what to do ??
(Having to log-in to the back-office is a real problem in my case as it will be my client, who has pretty much no rights in the BO, who will receive the mails, not me (super admin)...)

Also, if I make the {resume} file upload field \"mandatory\", I get a JS alert saying the field is mandatory and then I get back to the (empty, *sigh*) form... ?
The file upload works fine when the field isn't mandatory...

Could this be related to the first issue ?

WHAT am I missing here ??

Thanks in advance for your help, this component is great, it's exactly what I was looking for !!

I just discovered this is a bug. You are right. I will take care of it and will be ready on 1.0.3(release:this weekend).

Thanks Alex for the quick reply !

Do you have any idea on my \"link to uploaded document not working\" issue ?

Thanks again, \"bon courage\" !

Could you post a link to the thread here? i cannot find it myself :|

Well, actually it's this thread

The original topic was \"how to get a link to the uploaded file in the thank you email\", right?, and you gave a solution, but it doesn't seem to work for me, although I have a no idea as to why (see my original post higher up on this page)?!

I then raised the \"mandatory file upload\" bug issue but my first problem was with the \"link to the uploaded file\" thing...

Thanks again, keep up the great work !!
