Attachment: can it be done?

I am implementing a form with Formit in ModX Revolution. So far it is going well. Since it is a job application form, I would like users to be able to include a resume. Is it possible to send an attachment with Formit?

Should be. Have you tried it?

Hi there Shaun,

Well, here’s what I did. I made a form chunk which is very much like the example I found here:

I put this in it:


In my email chunk, I have put

The e-mail is sent, but it just shows the name of the attachment in the text. The attachment itself isn’t there. I am probably overlooking something embarrassingly obvious, but I’m a bit stuck.

What’s your FORM tag look like in your markup?

Is that ok?

Thank you very much for your help.

Aha! No Revo user here, but I do know that if you have file type input fields in a form you have to add enctype="multipart/form-data" in your form tags.

Susan, I feel like a complete fool but I’m still glad I asked It’s working now. In fact, after doing what you said, I don’t even have to include in the email chunk anymore. (Just in case anyone out there is trying to do the same.)

Thanks, to both of you!

Thanks for this, works great, but how do I make restrictions to the files that can be uploaded?
