Adding upload field in contact form and send as attachment

Below are the Steps please follow one by one

1. Modify the contact form template

You need to modify the contact form template file: app/design/frontend/

[yourinterface]/[yourtheme]/template/contacts/form.phtml:

a> Add enctype=”multipart/form-data” in <form> element as:

<form action="<?php echo $this->getFormAction(); ?>" id="contactForm" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

b> Add file upload field below ‘Comment’ field (or anywhere you want) as:

<li>

    <label for="attachment"><?php echo Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Attachment') ?></label>

    <div class="input-box">

        <input name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" type="hidden" value="2000000" />

        <input name="attachment" id="attachment" class="input-text" type="file" />

    </div>

</li>

2. Create controller class for processing file upload

Next step is to override the Mage_Contacts_IndexController class.

For this you need to create a custom module. For tutorial purpose

I am assuming Namespace to be 'Advance' and Module to be ‘Customcontact’.

a> Add xml override code in your module’s config.xml as:

<frontend>

<routers>

<contacts>

    <args>

    <modules>

    <advance_customcontact before="Mage_Contacts">advance_Customcontact</advance_customcontact>

    </modules>

    </args>

</contacts>

</routers>

</frontend>

b> Create your custom controller

Create controller file in your module dir as: app/code/local/advance/Customcontact/controllers/IndexController.php

and copy the following code:

<?php

require_once Mage::getModuleDir('controllers', 'Mage_Contacts') . DS . 'IndexController.php';

class advance_Contactspro_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;

                }

                /**************************************************************/

                $fileName = '';

                if (isset($_FILES['attachment']['name']) && $_FILES['attachment']['name'] != '') {

                    try {

                        $fileName        = $_FILES['attachment']['name'];

                        $fileExt        = strtolower(substr(strrchr($fileName, ".") ,1));

                        $fileNamewoe    = rtrim($fileName, $fileExt);

                        $fileName        = preg_replace('/\s+', '', $fileNamewoe) . time() . '.' . $fileExt;

                        $uploader        = new Varien_File_Uploader('attachment');

                        $uploader->setAllowedExtensions(array('doc', 'docx','pdf'));

                        $uploader->setAllowRenameFiles(false);

                        $uploader->setFilesDispersion(false);

                        $path = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . 'contacts';

                        if(!is_dir($path)){

                            mkdir($path, 0777, true);

                        }

                        $uploader->save($path . DS, $fileName );

                    } catch (Exception $e) {

                        $error = true;

                    }

                }

                /**************************************************************/

                if ($error) {

                    throw new Exception();

                }

                $mailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email_template');

                /* @var $mailTemplate Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template */

                /**************************************************************/

                //sending file as attachment

                $attachmentFilePath = Mage::getBaseDir('media'). DS . 'contacts' . DS . $fileName;

                if(file_exists($attachmentFilePath)){

                    $fileContents = file_get_contents($attachmentFilePath);

                    $attachment   = $mailTemplate->getMail()->createAttachment($fileContents);

                    $attachment->filename = $fileName;

                }

                /**************************************************************/

                $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('*/*/');

        }

    }

}

3> There you go.
