You don't have the Add file ?

 

Maybe update to  5.6.18 can fix the issue.

    Denis, I think he is talking about the admin notifications, not the invitation, your screenshot is for the invitations.

    I would like to clarify my question.

    I have a form with "Upload file " field.

    In "Notification and data management settings", "Send detailed notification email to:" field, I defined Email address.

    In "Edit email templates", "Detailed admin notification", I designed email template as: "File upload: {G00Q03}"

    When I receive an email, I can see the file name: "File upload: [{ "title":"","comment":"","size":"206.1318359375","name":"resume.pdf","filename":"fu_98yddzzciz93u9f","ext":"pdf" }]"

    I would like to attach the file to the email.

    Can I do it?

    Thanks
    Michael

    This is not possible.
    What you get by {G00Q03} is what is stored in the LimeSurvey database.
    But the file itself is not stored in the database but in your installation.
    If you investigate the folders of the survey "upoload/surveys/[SurveyID]" you finf in the folder "files" the uploaded files.
     
    Unfortunately without extension.

    What I'd do:
    Rename the file by an ajax call and add the link to the file to your notification.
    1. In two equations get the filename and the extension with function "substr"

    2. Do the ajax call
    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
     $.post('https://www.myServer/renameFile.php' , { sid: "{SID}", fname: "{eqFname}", ext: "{eqExt}" },function(data) {
     $('#question{QID} input[type="text"]').val(data)
  });
});
</script>

    with something like this php script
    Code:
    <?php
$ssid = $_POST["sid"];
$sfname = $_POST["fname"];
$sExt = $_POST["ext"];
 
$sfullname = '../limesurvey/upload/surveys/'.$ssid.'/files/'.$sfname;
$snewname=$sfullname.'.'.$sExt;
 
$x=rename($sfullname,$snewname);
 
echo $snewname;
?>

    Now the file looks like this "fu_178025275761.pdf".


    But as @Denis: feature request.

    I think you can update manually DB to add the system.

    I think PHP code is ready, maybe just need a GUI system.
