Email attachments: Can I conditionally included them?

[russellfeeed]

Hi
I'm trying to include attachments depending on the value of a form field, like so

Code:

{if $ANSWER_onf_network=='O2'}
{$attachment file="../../es/xyz/emailattachments/AIRTIMEPAYMONTHLY_OCT10.pdf"}
{$attachment file="../../es/xyz/emailattachments/O2 Standard Business terms.pdf"}
{/if}

But my {if} smarty statement seems to be being ignored and the attachment is included anyway.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Russell

Not too sure on Smarty, but try removing the curly brackets between lines 2 and 3 and terminate each line with a semi-colon instead:

PHP Code:

{if $ANSWER_onf_network=='O2'}
$attachment file="../../es/xyz/emailattachments/AIRTIMEPAYMONTHLY_OCT10.pdf";
$attachment file="../../es/xyz/emailattachments/O2 Standard Business terms.pdf";
{/if}

Hey Russell,

Actually, I don't believe so... excellent question, though.

The email attachment option for the Swift Mailer module was kind of grafted on. It doesn't get parsed properly within Smarty: the code just parses the email template content for that particular string, then appends the appropriate file. So the Smarty if statement won't be acknowledged.

I forget the reason why I did it this way: there was a good reason at the time, since it's clearly crumby. I'll definitely have to revisit this.

Thanks @crunchers - I've not tried it yet but will reply when I do.

Thanks @Ben - In other projects I've managed this using a View and Filter. I can't do this for this project unfortunately. Let me know if you need help with looking at this.

Hi,

I have a problem with attaching ANY file whatsoever with my autoresponders: SwiftMailer (1.1.2) is enabled, smtp works like a charm, Core is 2.2.5, I copy then modify the code for the enabled email templates, test it - the email arrives with all the needed data fields, but no attachment comes along. What is wrong - can anyone help me out on this?

(Sorry if this thread is not appropriate for such a question - I did not want to start a new one, but will, if that is more acceptable)

I used double quotes for comparison, and smarty {if} statement works well:

Code:

{if $ANSWER_onf_network=="O2"}
