Forms - File attachment

I created a form with 3 file attachment fields but they are not showing up in my email. What am I missing?

Thanks.

in the waue_becomeamodel_1.php page, you have not added any attachments


go to the attachments section of the Universal Email behavior and add the files fields as attachments.

The "photo" fields are file attachments.

They are file file fields in the form, but you have not configured the attachments section of universal email to uyse them to attach the files to the email.

in the in the waue_becomeamodel_1.php page you sent the Attachment Entries section is empty.

you need to edit the universal email server behavior.

click the paper clip icon to manage email attachments.

I did this but it still doesn't work. I attached the new files.

1) You have only 1 file upload behavior, if you are going to save the files to the server, you need an upload behavior for each file field.

2) In the attachments section, you have bound to the file field form elements, instead, you need to use the server file name and server file directory bindings created by the upload behavior.

on the bindings panel, there will be a binding group for each upload behavior named:
"WA Uploaded Files (<file field name>)"

for each attachment, select the Server file directory binding from that binding group, then copy the binding code and select the Server file name binding. Paste the server file directory code in front of the server file name code.

NOTE: if you don't need to save the files to the server, you can use the submitted file option instead, but this only works if you don't have the file upload behaviors

Current Files

I don't need to save the files to the server. It's for people to be able to email a file. I'm not sure what to do.

So don't include the upload file server behaviors in the page, you will need to delete the one that is already applied.

in the attachments section, select the submitted file option and select the file field.
