I've gotta start out by saying that this is one of the best plugins out there.  I know you here that often, but it is.

I'm currently trying to use a form with Cforms v. 10.5 and I've gotten just about everything to work.  However, when I use the 'placeholder' option to change the AdminTO email address, I have found that the uploaded files are renamed to "25-" "26-" or "Phzx134ma" and such—and no extension.  These are PDF and txt files I am currently trying.

However, once I place a correct email address back in the Admin email spot (such as info@example.com) and comment, or disable the my-functions.php, it works again, sending the files with the original name and either .pdf or .txt on the end.

Any ideas?

I've gotten everything else to work and have this same problem with the original code (of course changing the email address):

if ( $setting == "adminTO" ){

        if ( $oldvalue=='placeholder' )
            return 'test123 <my@different-email.com>';

    }

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the response.  Everything else there is uncommented, so that shouldn't be the problem.

The my-functions.php works fine to send the email to a specified address.  But somehow in the process, the attachments get messed up.

Do you know if there is some code that gets out of whack when both AdminTO and File Attachments/Uploads are enabled?

Great!!  Got it working thanks to Oliver.  For anyone else experiencing the same or similar problems, it was my-functions.php.

I used this code to grab a custom field from a Wordpress post and return it as the email for this form to be submitted to.  I also have an attachment that goes along with it.

In short, here is the final working code, minus the uncommented code:

<?php

function my_cforms_logic($cformsdata,$oldvalue,$setting) {

 if ( $setting == "adminTO" && $oldvalue=='placeholder'){
       
        global $wp_query;
        $post = $wp_query->post;
        $employer_emails = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'email', true);
        return $employer_emails;
 
    }

    return $oldvalue;

}

?>
