I'm needing to set up a general email system that allows:
Front end usage (registered/ logged in users)
Send to 1 or many (groups)
Attachments
I am using BuddyPress which has a lovely messaging system but it doesn't have the above requirements - I've also asked around but it's kind of impossible to adapt cleanly.
So my only other, obvious, solution is possibly using GravityForms but I cannot find any information on the subject.
Any ideas or solutions would be gratefully received.
TIA
Item 1 and 2 can be accomplished
You can restrict the form to logged in users only. There are different ways of doing it in the production release of 1.5.2.8 and the upcoming 1.6.
To send to 1 or many, you'd have to pull the list of email addresses based on whatever criteria you want. That would be custom code to populate the TO or BCC fields of the message.
Gravity Forms does not email attachments. It can send a link to the attachment, but the attachment will not be sent with the notification.
Which one of those three is missing in BuddyPress? Just attachments I think?
Maybe you need a different approach to handling attachments in BuddyPress rather than replacing the messaging system there with Gravity Forms and custom code.
