Hi, I have created a Contour application form. The applications should fill in the form and upload their curriculum vitae. This form is then send to an email address.
However currently the field for the uploaded file is shown like this in the email:
Am having the same exact issue, where the upload file is only shown as plain text when you look in your entries. There are 2 possibilites you either copy > paste the url after your domain name or in your entries click Edit Values then it shows a link to download the file.
@Kall @Fuji, thanks for your replies. I conclude from this there is no real solution to have uploaded files as clickable links in a mail sent from Contour. I hope this feature will be available in one of the next versions.
I agree that it's currently not very convenient for users to grab the file uploaded without a link. I also hope this feature will be available in a near future on Contour.
contour file upload as a link in email
Hi, I have created a Contour application form. The applications should fill in the form and upload their curriculum vitae. This form is then send to an email address.
However currently the field for the uploaded file is shown like this in the email:
/umbraco/plugins/umbracoContour/files/6739a2fd-5a43-48fr-8976-c2e1020fml3b/9a56a998-6408-4a07-890d-9589a51da584/uploaded-document.docx
isn't there a way to show the upload file as a clickable link, so the administrator can just click the link to view the uploaded cv?
thanks for your advice,

Hi Anthony,
Am having the same exact issue, where the upload file is only shown as plain text when you look in your entries. There are 2 possibilites you either copy > paste the url after your domain name or in your entries click Edit Values then it shows a link to download the file.
Have a look at this.

I have the same problem. The best way would be if Contour made a correct link to url in the mail.
As for now, this is not a great way for the customer to handle...

Well if you use the transformed xslt email workflow you should be able to add a little logic that will output it link if it detects a file
Or you can also use the email workflow in the contour contrib project, that will add the files as an attachement
