Aha this helped! This also allowed me to make some formatting changes. Now its a case of formatting the email to our taste. It's a shame I can't set it to only show the questions that were answered.

I still can't get the attached file to work though, the link is there but I think I may have the installation path wrong.

Also, I have the same file link script (the one you gave) within the HTML 3 times as there are 3 questions (each one only appearing once at a time), and for some reason, the third script fails to work and just displays:

File uploaded: {stristr(str_replace('name":"', '', stristr(Upload1, 'name":"')), '"', 'true')}

I'm not having much luck!

EDIT: And another issue! The multiple choice check box answers are failing to show and end up displaying the curly bracket code inside a yellow box with red border.

For complex report in last email, i always use a hidden question (show text question) and for email content:

{QUESTION.question}

It work good and more easily (and with full index you can test without sending email).

Hi Denis,

Thanks for your reply. Sounds good although I'm not quite sure what you mean and how this works?

I think what Denis means is that he creates the "report" content for the email in a hidden (by CSS or JS) text-display question and then simply pipes that question into the email template. This may give some more flexibility with Expression Manager when creating the "report".

Thanks for replying! I think I'd probably need a walkthrough with this one if I was to pursue this as it's confused me a little.

I'm finding it difficult trying to imagine how I'd collect the report data into the question?

Hi,

It's not for fexilibility, it's for quick control . And i directly use manual.limesurvey.org/QS:Hidden when it's OK.

Still struggling with this idea, I think I'm having a blank moment here!

Also, just figured out I had the root folder wrong so we have corrected that and made sure the permissions are all A-OK. However we've noticed that all uploaded files are being stored as random file names without any file extension, and simply stored as format 'File'.

So at the moment, I have an email working alright, it could be better, but it works, except for the upload file issue where the files are automatically renamed.

Is there a way to stop it renaming the files or similar?


Thanks!

Hi,

We need to rename the file :
- 1st : security issue (and actual solution is not good enough)
- 2nd : else another user can replace any file using same filename.

But the directlink with the fu_XXXX giv file access if user are connected to admin.

Hi Denis,

Thanks for your reply! However I don't quite understand what you mean...

1st : if we don't rename file, it's easy to find the URL, for example : ./surveys/files/curriculum_vitae.pdf can be found easily by any web user.
2nd: Iif we don't rename file : first user send CV.pdf, second user send CV.pdf, third user send CV.pdf .... we have only one file.
