Frequently Asked Questions

How do I send emails to all the people in my database table?
To send emails dynamically to more than one person, you will need to have a recordset created on your page prior to opening Universal Email.  This Recordset will need to return the email addresses that are to be emailed on your page that selects all the records that you want to send an email to. Then in Universal Email in the To: tab, you will need to select 'recordset loop'.
Can I send attachments along with the email message?
Yes, there are multiple ways for sending attachments in Universal Email.

1.  You can choose to attach a file that already exists on your server somewhere by entering the path to that file.
2.  You can choose to read from a database Recordset the filename to be attached.  This also requires that the file be stored on your server.
3.  Allow the user to browse for a file from a file field on your page.  This automatically applies the file manipulation functionality which will upload and attach the file to the email when sending.

Are there any limitations on the number of emails I can send?

No, Universal Email does not impose any limits on the number or size of emails that you send.  There are numerous features provided to aid in sending to multiple email addresses.  Use the Email Limits feature found in the To interface for specifying email send delays that will help bypass any restrictions set by your hosting provider.

I am getting a "You must have at least one upload form." error.
This error, "You must have at least one upload form on the page to use File Upload" displays when applying the Upload File Server behavior.

This error occurs because the form tags encoding type is not set to multipart/form-data. On the tag selector, select the Form tag on your page, then in the Property Inspector, select multipart/form-data from the Enctype menu.

The File Manipulation server behaviors not accessible (grayed out)?
The File Manipulation features add server side code to your page. Before you can add this functionality, you will need to:

1. Define a dynamic site in Dreamweaver (To define a dynamic site, choose Site > Define site, and select a supported server model from the Testing Server category). For more information see Defining a Dynamic Site in Dreamweaver.
2. Create a new PHP page and save it to the site you have defined.

Why does File Upload fail with large files?
For PHP users, by default PHP is configured to allow a maximum file upload of 2MB, this can be increased by editing the php.ini file.

In the php.ini file, locate the following line: upload_max_filesize = 2M. Change this setting to accommodate for the file size you wish to be able to upload. There are a few other settings in the php.ini file that can affect the maximum file upload size (file_uploads, upload_max_filesize, max_input_time, memory_limit, max_execution_time, post_max_size) The following webpage has more information on each of these settings:

How can I tell if the file upload was successful?
When you apply the File Upload server behavior to your page, there is a new binding group added to the bindings panel called " Upload Files Global Status". This contains a Debug Info Binding that can be added to your page to provide information about the status of an upload.
