Local file attachment – get filename from form field?

  • I’m trying to set up a contact form where the user enters his/her e-mail address and chooses a file they would like to receive via e-mail.

    Here’s what I have in my form for the file selection:

    [select* requestedfile include_blank
 "Coding Standards|blogs.dir/5/files/2008/11/coding-standards.ppt"
 "CCS3 Cheat Sheet|blogs.dir/5/files/2012/09/css3-cheat-sheet.pdf"
 "WP Theme customization|blogs.dir/5/files/2010/07/wp-customization.pdf"
]

    In the Mail(2) section I tried using the [requestedfile] tag in the file attachments field, but it doesn’t seem to work. If I use one of the filenames directly (instead of the tag) it works, so I suppose CF7 doesn’t detect it’s a local file when expanding from the form tag.

    Is it possible somehow? Better yet, if I could have part of the path fixed, like using: blogs.dir/5/files/[requestedfile] so only part of the path would be visible in the HTML code.

    Thanks in advance!
