How to receive the attached file in email

I can successfully attach a file and I see the file being stored. But I don't get notified that a file has been saved by the user in the registration process. I can't find anything about in the CB Primer.

This is what I want to do - when a user registers, I get an email to approve the user. Once I approve the user, I want to get all his details in an email including the attached file (if any). It is possible?

Moderators should be sent a new user registration email, which you can add more substitutions to if you want more information. You won't be able to attach the file to the email, but should be able to link to it by substituting in the file field. See the below tutorial regarding substitutions.

You can use language overrides below to override the new user registration email to add whatever you like to it.

You'll need to override likely UE_REG_ADMIN_PA_MSG and/or UE_REG_ADMIN_MSG language keys.

Ok, thanks I got it. I tried both and found out that the correct one is UE_REG_ADMIN_PA_MSG

So I was successfully able to change the Admin message content to add the values. However, I can't find any information how to add the URL to the file that you had mentioned. I have a field called CB_ABSTRACT (for users to submit their abstract). I can see the files in images/comprofiler/plug_cbfilefield/USER_ID/. I need to put a link to this location so that the admin can download it to a local drive and distribute via email.


The reference in CB Primer is as follows but it is not clear.

URL - display a CB constructed URL (pre-defined)
[cb:url location="DESTINATION" /]

Destinations include: login, logout, registers, lostpassword, manageconnections, profile_view, profile_edit, list, itemid

[cb:url location="login" /] will display the login raw URL that can be included with HTML for example. For list usage you must specify the parameter list="LIST_ID"; without it you'll be given the default userlist URL.

You should be able to just substitute in the raw field value using [FIELD_NAME] and it should be the internal URL to access the file. cb:url is only for the destinations listed in the tutorial.

Perfect! I was able to make it show the url as

mysite.com/images/comprofiler/plug_cbfilefield/[USER_ID] but I am getting at 403 error. It is because of the permission on the folder? Should it be 755?

That's not the URL to the file. Simply substitute in the file field using [FIELD_NAME] (e.g. [cb_my_file]) and it will be the URL to access the file. If the field is not publicly accessible you'll need to login to access it though. Direct access to files is blocked.
