Hi there,

I need help attaching files to a xslt transformed email.

I found an old post that referenced contour; however, this doesn't work for me.

https://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-pro/contour/64180-Umbraco-Forms-email-workflow-Full-path-of-uploaded-files-or-files-as-attachments

<!-- Template for a File upload field -->
<xsl:template match="*[datatype][contains(values/value, '/umbraco/plugins/umbracoContour/files/')]" mode="value">
    <a href="http://{umbraco.library:RequestServerVariables('SERVER_NAME')}{values/value}">
        <xsl:value-of select="values/value"/>
    </a>
</xsl:template>

I needed a custom email that I configured so using the "send email" workflow isn't an option.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Amanda

Hi Amanda,

Try to use the following code snippet.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"

exclude-result-prefixes="xsl msxsl user umbraco.library">

  indent="yes"
  encoding="utf-8"/>

  <xsl:param name="records" />

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <table style="border-collapse:collapse;border:1px solid black;">
          <xsl:for-each select="$records//fields/child::*">
            <xsl:sort select="@sortorder" data-type="number"/>
           <tr style="border:1px solid black;">

                <td valign="top" style="border:1px solid black;padding:5px;font-family:Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;">
                      <xsl:choose>
                         <xsl:when test="contains(.//value, '/umbraco/plugins/umbracoContour/files/')">
                             <a href="http://{umbraco.library:RequestServerVariables('SERVER_NAME')}{.//value}">
                                <xsl:value-of select="substring-after(substring-after(.//value, '/files/'), '/')"/>                      
                           </a>
                         </xsl:when>
                          <xsl:otherwise>
                              <xsl:for-each select="./values/value">
                                  <xsl:if test="position() &gt; 1">
                                   <br />
                                  </xsl:if>
                                <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:ReplaceLineBreaks(.)"/>
                           </xsl:for-each>
                          </xsl:otherwise>
                     </xsl:choose>
                  </td>
            </tr>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </table>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Thanks so much for your reply.

For whatever reason, though, the file is not attaching. I am simply getting the file path as an option (not hyperlinked).

See below email source code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;border:1px solid black;">

  <tr style="border:1px solid black;">

    <td valign="top" style="border:1px solid black;padding:5px;font-family:Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;"><strong>Name of your Agency</strong></td>

    <td valign="top" style="border:1px solid black;padding:5px;font-family:Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;">asdfasdf</td>

  </tr>

  <tr style="border:1px solid black;">

    <td valign="top" style="border:1px solid black;padding:5px;font-family:Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;"><strong>Attach Invoice</strong></td>

    <td valign="top" style="border:1px solid black;padding:5px;font-family:Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;">/media/forms/upload/Form_85c9858b-a951-4add-8fb0-faf467c0b477/aaf0a9ba-8d1c-41f8-8827-8c6e00a92778/TEST_PDF.pdf</td>

  </tr>

</table>

Is it because it's referencing Contour and not Umbraco forms?

Thanks,

Amanda
