Add file upload to contact form?
Hi,
I’m doing hiring form to my client site. I’m wondering how can I add file upload(resume) to standard contact form? I’ve been using zem contact earlier.
Thanks.

What do you mean by “standard contact form”?
Piwik Dashboard, Google Analytics Dashboard, Minibar, Article Image Colorpicker, Admin Datepicker, Admin Google Map, Admin Colorpicker

I don’t think it is possible but you could use afu instead.

Simpy, I want that my website visitor can send me a file (pdf/doc) + some additional info like name, phone and email.

You could use mem_form which has file upload support and works very similar to zem_contact_reborn. Another way would be to use jquery uploadify to upload a file while in your zem_contact_reborn form and then return a reference to the filename to your email submit form. You have to do manual js/php work for that as it is not a textpattern function.
You should note that having a publicly available file upload field is a security risk. At the very least you should direct file uploads to a safe directory outside of your site and make this directory non-executable and non-reachable from outside (mask the name of the upload directory and rename uploaded files to something else) so that people cannot upload malicious or inappropriate content files and then execute them or reach them from outside. If you are only accepting certain file types, reject other file types (testing just the filename extension is not sufficient) and so on. The article linked to describes the main problems.

Thanks Jakob. mem_form looks promising. I think it’s something I’ve been looking for.

Re: Add file upload to contact form?
Hi, I need to add option of sending image by mail to zem_ contact_reborn. I understand that ZCR doesn’t have this functionality. I couldn’t find mem_form plugin recommanded above, nor could I find any documentation of it. Is this plugin still living? Maybe there is a newer solution for sending images with web mail form? Thanks

There are newer mem_forms in Michael’s own Bitbucket.

Re: Add file upload to contact form?
Sorry guys, but I can’t figure it out.
I installed the plugin, acitvated it and added a simple code to test:
<txp:mem_form >
<txp:mem_form_text label="Fotka"/>
</txp:mem_form>It says <txp:mem_form > is nonexistent tag. What is wrong?

Did you activate the plugin?
Probably not relevant, but remove the space between mem_form and the >

Hi Ruud,
yes it is activated. I removed the space, too, but it doesn’t make any diference.
