Here [ www.hikashop.com/forum/2-general-talk-ab...fication.html#141160](http://www.hikashop.com/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/865314-adding-attachment-to-email-notification.html#141160) somebody wants to add a attachment depending on the product. mj just wants to have the file from the custom field added, when the user uploaded something. I also have this problem and the hints in the post you adressed are a bit unspecific. Can you please provide a bit more information? How is it possible to add the custom field attachment to an e-mail? Thanks!

I suppose that you would want to write something like this in your emails that you can edit via the menu System>Emails: <?php $this->mailer->AddAttachment($path_to_the_file); ?> Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI3LWNoZWNrb3V0Lzg3Njc4MS1hZGQtYXR0YWNobWVudC10by1hZG1pbi1lLW1haWwtZnJvbS1jdXN0b20tZmllbGQ/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[seoleo](/forum/user/36301-seoleo "View seoleo's Profile")** - [![seoleo's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/36301-seoleo "View seoleo's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/36301-seoleo) Less More - Posts: 8 - Thank you received: 0 - - 11 years 5 months ago [\#203533](#203533) by [seoleo](/forum/user/36301-seoleo "View seoleo's Profile") Replied by *[seoleo](/forum/user/36301-seoleo "View seoleo's Profile")* on topic *[Add attachment to admin e-mail from custom field](/forum/27-checkout/876781-add-attachment-to-admin-e-mail-from-custom-field#203533 "-- HikaShop version -- : 2.4.0 -- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6 -- PHP version -- : 5.3.29 I have a custom field which allows customers to upload a file during the checkout process.

I have a custom field with type "attachment". But it makes no sense, if I won't get the file in the confirmation mail. Thanks in advance!

It will require some PHP development, but it's something possible. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
