Hi,

I have a form with an upload box called "Upload File". In the admin email I'd like to display either the name of the uploaded file (including the tracking id) or the url to it. If I use {Upload File} like the other fields, it doesn't work.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Alex.

I have found a workaround by using a hard-coded URL and then {ID}-{_field3}, e.g.

http://www.microsoft.com/uploads/{ID}-{_field3}

Replace "3" by whatever the field index is in your case.

This works for now but can be improved .. there is a setting in the fiel upload settings section for the relative url path which could be used.

THANK YOU SO MUUUCH! I have been looking for the solution to this problem for daaaays! Thank you thank you thank you! My only other question is then how would I change the name of the file so that the ID of the post is at the front? Not a big issue but just wanting to ensure that each post is unique so that files don't get overwritten.

Thank you again!
