Sending file attachments with Drupal

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Hello Folks:

We're trying to find a solution that would allow a user with the required permissions to send out messages with MIME-appropriate attachments (jpgs, docs, xls, ppt, mp3, lord knows what else) to a mailing list compiled from all active users of the site.

The client would like to be able to create a newsletter ala simplenews and then send them out to all active users. We've tried the fix here: http://drupal.org/node/28908#comment-64510 but to no avail.

Would anyone have a suggestion as to how we might best approach this problem?

Thanks very much,

Steve

Attachment or link to attachment?

Hi, we are doing development for this right now for the organic groups list manager. Right now we include a link in the body of the mail that points to the attachment.

We do have a design that would allow for attachments to be sent out, that could be implemented relatively quickly.

In this case you could use mandatory group to put all users in a group and then run OG list manager. I suspect that that's more complicated than yo u want, but feel free to contact me if you want to discuss further.

Cheers,
Kieran

MimeMail module

This is a super-old thread, but the mimemail module ( http://drupal.org/project/mimemail ) can easily handle this. Simply specify an $attachments array in your mimemail() function call.

The array should contain a list of file objects - e.g. the list that shows up in the node's attachments item or anything selected from the files table.

Thank you

Try Notifications Files

Again, sorry to post in a super-old thread, but the Notifications and Messaging framework supports file attachments via Notifications Files for a variety of sending methods (PHPMailer, MIME mail)
