Submit a form with an attachment

@Deight,

Maybe I’m mistaken, but I believe you wanted a file attachment added to an email. Isn’t the code you are showing only adding a url to the email?

By the way, it is not a good idea to edit files of plugins/themes. A better solution is to copy the template into your (inherited/custom) theme and edit that copied file.

Anyway, I’ve taken some time to have a look at the Email plugin and try to add an attachment to an email.

Using a fresh install of Grav 1.7.18, I did the following:

  • Created page 03.contact/form.md with the following form definition:
      ---
  title: Contact Form

  form:
      name: contact

      fields:
          name:
            label: Name
            type: text
            validate:
              required: true

          email:
            label: Email
            type: email
            validate:
              required: true

          myfile:
             label: 'Add a file'
             type: file
             multiple: false
             destination: user/data/files
             accept:
                - application/pdf
                - application/x-pdf
                - image/png
                - text/plain

      buttons:
          submit:
            type: submit
            value: Submit

      process:
         email:
            subject: "New file submitted by {{ form.value.name|e }}"
            body: |
               Document submitted by user {{ form.value.name }}: 
               {{ (form.value.myfile | first).name }}
            attachments:
               - myfile
         message: Thank you for getting in touch!
