hello, I have used the godaddy version of emailex.php (in download emailex_godaddy.zip) from http://www.couchcms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6959&start=0 and have got the form working OK with an attachment. Problem is that now if I try to send the form without an attachment I get an error "Attach CV: Input of file type named 'my_file_ex' not found". Sorry to say I'm not able to amend the code myself to allow the form to send without an attachment. Can somebody else help? Thanks!

Code: Select all

<cms:input 
   type="hidden" 
   name="my_file" 
   required='1' 
   validator='EmailEx::validate=max_size:512&allowed_ext:jpeg,jpg,gif,png' 
   value='1' 
/>

Hi Could you please try to test for the error without required='1' in the editable above?

hi trendoman, the input was already set up like this:

<cms:input
type="hidden"
label='Attach CV'
name="my_file"
required='0'
validator='EmailEx::validate=max_size:512&allowed_ext:doc,txt,zip,pdf'
value='1'
/>

I have also tried it without the 'required' parameter at all - and get the same result.

Thanks for update!

Code: Select all

EmailEx::send_mail( 'sender@mail.com', 'receiver@mail.com', 'Subject', 'Message' );

Do you use code above to send mail without attachment? In the addon it is strictly put to raise errors if file is not set.
I suggest to use some simple conditional statement to check if the file is present. If so, then use code above. If not - move to standard send_mail. EmailEx falls back to send_mail, as it seems from the code, but requires a file no matter what. Can you try this suggestion too?

@potato,
as @trendoman mentioned, the validate routine expects a file to be uploaded, so in a sense it is always 'required'.

I think you can simply edit the emailex.php file, find the following statement -

Code: Select all

return KFuncs::raise_error( "Input of file type named '".$input_name."' not found" );

- and comment it out i.e. prepend it with double-slashes to make it as follows -

Code: Select all

//return KFuncs::raise_error( "Input of file type named '".$input_name."' not found" );

Nothing else needs to be changed and the mails should go through even without the attachments.

Does this help?

@kk - yes it does help! Working with/without attachments delighted to report! Thanks both for your help.

what if you have 5 file uploads. how can you make the other 4 to be optional??

i have 5 file uploads and working properly..

one thing i can't figure out is how i can make the other 4 file upload "optional" , or all of them...

i have these..

Code: Select all

<div class="send">
      <input type="file" name="my_file_ex">
      <input type="file" name="my_file2_ex">
      <input type="file" name="my_file3_ex">
      <input type="file" name="my_file4_ex">
      <input type="file" name="my_file5_ex">
     </div>     
     <br />
     
      <cms:input 
         type="hidden" 
         name="my_file" 
         required='1' 
         validator='EmailEx::validate=max_size:10000&allowed_ext:jpeg,jpg,gif,png,txt' 
         value='1' 
      />
     
     <cms:input 
         type="hidden" 
         name="my_file2" 
         required='0' 
         validator='EmailEx::validate=max_size:10000&allowed_ext:jpeg,jpg,gif,png,txt' 
         value='1' 
      />
     
     <cms:input 
         type="hidden" 
         name="my_file3" 
         required='0' 
         validator='EmailEx::validate=max_size:10000&allowed_ext:jpeg,jpg,gif,png,txt' 
         value='1' 
      />
     
     <cms:input 
         type="hidden" 
         name="my_file4" 
         required='0' 
         validator='EmailEx::validate=max_size:10000&allowed_ext:jpeg,jpg,gif,png,txt' 
         value='1' 
      />
     
     <cms:input 
         type="hidden" 
         name="my_file5" 
         required='0' 
         validator='EmailEx::validate=max_size:10000&allowed_ext:jpeg,jpg,gif,png,txt' 
         value='1' 
      />

i tried to put required='0' but they are still required on submit.


any solution? thanks in advance..

Hello and welcome @kenkaen

Assuming you are using the godaddy specific script -
instead of commenting out the line, as I suggested to @potato above, please find the line

Code: Select all

return KFuncs::raise_error( "Input of file type named '".$input_name."' not found" );

and make it as follows -

Code: Select all

if( $field->required ){
    return KFuncs::raise_error( "Input of file type named '".$input_name."' not found" );
}

Does this help?

Yes it Works!

Thank you for the welcome and quick response! @KK

Hi

I successfully implemented a form and could send an attachment on my local server. Unfortunately it does not work online. The files are exactly the same. Any idea why this does not work?
