email body gets replaced with url to uploaded file

[hannesdorn]

What Version Of Caldera Forms, WordPress and PHP Are You Using?

WordPress Version: 5.4.1 PHP Version: 7.4.6 MySQL Version: 8.0.20 Caldera Forms Version: 1.8.11 WP_DEBUG: 1

Does Your Issue Persist When You Disable All Other Plugins and Switch To The Default Theme?

yes

What Is The Unexpected Behaviour?

The email body is replaced with the url to the file.

The problem is in classes\magic\doer.php line 85:

if( Caldera_Forms_Field_Util::is_file_field( $field, $form ) ){
    $_value = self::magic_image( $field, $entry, $form );
    if( false !== $_value ){
        $value = $_value;
    }

    continue;

}

$value = $_value overwrites the email body.

Possible solution:

if( Caldera_Forms_Field_Util::is_file_field( $field, $form ) ){
    $_value = self::magic_image( $field, $entry, $form );
    if( false !== $_value ){
        // $value = $_value;
        $value = str_replace( $matches[ 0 ][ $key ], $_value, $value );
    }
    continue;
}

Hello @hannesdorn , thank you for reporting this issue. Could you detail how to reproduce it?

[hannesdorn]

It is a very simple form: 1 HTML field 5 FILE fields 1 SUBMIT button

vollmachten-hochladen-export.json.txt

Thank you @hannesdorn , I could reproduce an issue with the email content as it is set in the form shared.

What work as a workaround for your email content example is :

Vollmachten von {user:last_name} {user:first_name} ({user:user_login})

{summary}

Now, I'm marking this to be researched, the wrong email content gets set in classes/save.php l233 where the Caldera_Forms::do_magic_tags() function returns one file name.

Thanks again for reporting this @hannesdorn

Please note my suggested solution:

// $value = $_value;
$value = str_replace( $matches[ 0 ][ $key ], $_value, $value );
