Magento : How to send contact form email with attachment in magento?

Is there any default functionality in Magento for a simple contact form that needs to send a file attachment? Or do I need to customise it with Zend's mail function? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Not Magento related, but I use PHP's SwiftMailer (http://swiftmailer.org/):

require_once('../lib/swiftMailer/lib/swift_required.php');

...


$body="Dear $fname,\n\nPlease find attached, an invoice for the period $startDate - $endDate\n\nBest regards,\n\nMr X";

$message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Subject goes here')
    ->setFrom(array($email => "[email protected]"))
    ->setTo(array($email => "$fname $lname"))
    ->setBody($body);
$message->attach(Swift_Attachment::fromPath("../../invoices_unpaid/$id.pdf"));

$result = $mailer->send($message);

add file button in the contact form

To avoid editing the phtml file, I like to use events:

  1. create observer in config.xml: 

    <events>
    <core_block_abstract_to_html_after>
        <observers>
            <add_file_boton>
                <type>singleton</type>
                <class>contactattachment/observer</class>
                <method>addFileBoton</method>
            </add_file_boton>
        </observers>
    </core_block_abstract_to_html_after>
</events>

  2. the observer: 

    class Osdave_ContactAttachment_Model_Observer
{
    public function addFileBoton($observer)
    {
        $block = $observer->getEvent()->getBlock();
        $nameInLayout = $block->getNameInLayout();

        if ($nameInLayout == 'contactForm') {
            $transport = $observer->getEvent()->getTransport();
            $block = Mage::app()->getLayout()->createBlock('contactattachment/field');
            $block->setPassingTransport($transport['html']);
            $block->setTemplate('contactattachment/field.phtml')
                    ->toHtml();
        }
        return $this;
    }
}

  3. the block class (that you've just instanciated in the observer): 

    class Osdave_ContactAttachment_Block_Field extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{
    private $_passedTransportHtml;

    /**
     * adding file select field to contact-form
     * @param type $transport
     */
    public function setPassingTransport($transport)
    {
        $this->_passedTransportHtml = $transport;
    }

    public function getPassedTransport()
    {
        return $this->_passedTransportHtml;
    }
}

  4. the .phtml file, where you add the enctype attribute to the form and add the file input: 

    <?php
$originalForm = $this->getPassedTransport();
$originalForm = str_replace('action', 'enctype="multipart/form-data" action', $originalForm);
$lastListItem = strrpos($originalForm, '</li>') + 5;
echo substr($originalForm, 0, $lastListItem);
?>
<li>
    <label for="attachment"><?php echo $this->__('Select an attachment:') ?></label>
    <div class="input-box">
        <input type="file" class="input-text" id="attachment" name="attachment" />
    </div>
</li>
<?php
echo substr($originalForm, $lastListItem);
?>

    procesing the attachment

you need to rewrite Magento's Contacts IndexController to upload the file where you want to and add the link in the email.

  • config.xml:

        <global>
        ...
        <rewrite>
            <osdave_contactattachment_contact_index>
                <from><![CDATA[#^/contacts/index/#]]></from>
                <to>/contactattachment/contacts_index/</to>
            </osdave_contactattachment_contact_index>
        </rewrite>
        ...
    </global>

    <frontend>
        ...
        <routers>
            <contactattachment>
                <use>standard</use>
                <args>
                    <module>Osdave_ContactAttachment</module>
                    <frontName>contactattachment</frontName>
                </args>
            </contactattachment>
        </routers>
        ...
    </frontend>

  • the controller: 

    <?php

/**
 * IndexController
 *
 * @author david
 */

require_once 'Mage/Contacts/controllers/IndexController.php';
class Osdave_ContactAttachment_Contacts_IndexController extends Mage_Contacts_IndexController
{
    public function postAction()
    {
        $post = $this->getRequest()->getPost();
        if ( $post ) {
            $translate = Mage::getSingleton('core/translate');
            /* @var $translate Mage_Core_Model_Translate */
            $translate->setTranslateInline(false);
            try {
                $postObject = new Varien_Object();
                $postObject->setData($post);

                $error = false;

                if (!Zend_Validate::is(trim($post['name']) , 'NotEmpty')) {
                    $error = true;
                }

                if (!Zend_Validate::is(trim($post['comment']) , 'NotEmpty')) {
                    $error = true;
                }

                if (!Zend_Validate::is(trim($post['email']), 'EmailAddress')) {
                    $error = true;
                }

                if (Zend_Validate::is(trim($post['hideit']), 'NotEmpty')) {
                    $error = true;
                }

                if ($error) {
                    throw new Exception();
                }

                //upload attachment
                try {
                    $uploader = new Mage_Core_Model_File_Uploader('attachment');
                    $uploader->setAllowedExtensions(array('jpg','jpeg','gif','png'));
                    $uploader->setAllowRenameFiles(true);
                    $uploader->setAllowCreateFolders(true);
                    $result = $uploader->save(
                        Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . 'contact_attachments' . DS
                    );
                    $fileUrl = str_replace(Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS, Mage::getBaseUrl('media'), $result['path']);
                } catch (Exception $e) {
                    Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError(Mage::helper('contactattachment')->__('There has been a problem with the file upload'));
                    $this->_redirect('*/*/');
                    return;
                }

                $mailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email_template');
                /* @var $mailTemplate Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template */
                $mailTemplate->setDesignConfig(array('area' => 'frontend'))
                    ->setReplyTo($post['email'])
                    ->sendTransactional(
                        Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_TEMPLATE),
                        Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_SENDER),
                        Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_RECIPIENT),
                        null,
                        array('data' => $postObject)
                    );

                if (!$mailTemplate->getSentSuccess()) {
                    throw new Exception();
                }

                $translate->setTranslateInline(true);

                Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addSuccess(Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Your inquiry was submitted and will be responded to as soon as possible. Thank you for contacting us.'));
                $this->_redirect('*/*/');

                return;
            } catch (Exception $e) {
                $translate->setTranslateInline(true);

                Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError(Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Unable to submit your request. Please, try again later'));
                $this->_redirect('*/*/');
                return;
            }

        } else {
            $this->_redirect('*/*/');
        }
    }
}

in the controller you need to add the $fileUrl into the email template, and on your email template file you need to echo it.
I think this is the whole thing, let me know if you're having troubles with that.
cheers

For adding an attachment to an email you will need to use the following Zend_Mail function:

public function createAttachment($body,
                                 $mimeType    = Zend_Mime::TYPE_OCTETSTREAM,
                                 $disposition = Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT,
                                 $encoding    = Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64,
                                 $filename    = null)
{

Here is an example to use it with Magento, for attaching a pdf file to the email:

$myEmail = new new Zend_Mail('utf-8'); //see app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Email/Template.php - getMail()
$myEmail->createAttachment($file,'application/pdf',Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT,Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64,$name.'.pdf');

You can use this extension for inspiration: Fooman Email Attachments
