Email Notification When File is Uploaded

[Tessa]

Hello. After spending an hour reading through every possible forum post and fabrik wiki/documentation, I've seen many postings with the same question, but with no solution.

I understand in order to achieve these results, I need to:

• Go to Form Plugin
• -do "Email"
• On Both new and edit
• Add a condition

$origData = $formModel->getOrigData();
return $origData[0]->xxxx_tablename___fileuploadelement != {xxxx_tablename___fileuploadelement};

Something like this but this breaks the form after submission. What else is missing? I haven't worked with PHP or Fabrik in a long time, but helping my other half on this task

Thanks in advance! Also this should help with people searching for the same solution.

1. In general:
You should always quote placeholders in PHP code. Otherwise the code will break if the placeholder is empty.
So
return $origData[0]->xxxx_tablename___fileuploadelement != '{xxxx_tablename___fileuploadelement}';

2.
Debug the original data and the placeholder; I don't know by heart how these variables are looking in case of the fileupload element. Is it a simple upload or an ajax?

I can't believe I forgot the quotes. It works now!

(It's been awhile)


Thank you!
