Hi all,

We would like to see any files uploaded using the Upload File question to appear inside the notification email, preferably as an attachment or a link to the actual document. At the moment, we have entered the {value } for each question inside the notification email template, including the upload file question. However, it simply generates the following:

[{ "title":"Test Doc","comment":"","size":"28.16","name":"Lorem%20ipsum%20-%20test.doc","filename":"fu_3wkjcufh8wvy8s3","ext":"doc" }]

Is there any way that we can actually view the document from within the email and not through the LimeSurvey response page? Not all staff will have access to LimeSurvey itself and need to see the results and view/download the documents.

At the moment we have LimeSurvey set up with ConnectWise, I'm not sure if this makes a difference.

Thanks and looking forward to your support!

Thanks for this!

I saw the second post already but didn't realise it was relevant.

The other post suggests that I can only display a link which is fine. I'm guessing that inserting the code offered in the forum post will need to be pasted into the appropriate email and will then display a link?

Try something like this for a complete link in the notification email:

Hi thanks for this, although it hasnt worked. It looks like its also muddled up the HTML as I'm seeing code everywhere after the 'File uploaded' section.

I tested and it works for me when the mail is received in Outlook 2013.

Can you give a screenshot of your muddled HTML?

Bare in mind this is coming through to us via ConnectWise...

Sorry, I have no idea what's causing that.

OK I've made a little bit of progress. I've attached another image. I'm not that familiar with JS, so do I change the example.com link to something else as its appearing in the email?

There's also some unusual behaviour which is difficult to describe. I have 3 faux-groups of questions (all in one question group, but 1 of 3 different sets of questions appear depending on the answer to the first question), so I've repeated the link code you gave me three times, adjusting the curly bracket code on each one. However after saving the email template, it seems to completely remove the whole 2nd section, almost as if its caused by the link code.

There is no JavaScript here. You will need to replace example.com/limesurvey with the path to your LimeSurvey installation.

Can you post the complete source code from the email template?

Aha sorry misunderstood that! I've tried using our installation path, but getting an Object Not Found error page when I click the now appearing link.

I've attached two files, one containing the original source code that I'm entering, and another containing the source code after I've clicked save and/or logged back into admin after receiving the emails. As it appears to be changing quite a bit.

Thanks!

I don't know why your editor is doing that. Try disabling the editor (Edit personal preferences --> HTML editor mode --> Popup HTML editor) and saving the source code again.
