PDF attachment for user notification not working

I have successfully set up a PDF attachment to a form user notification in the past on another server, but using the same code (and changing only the form ID and PDF file name), I cannot get the PDF to be attached. I am using this function added to my theme:

// Allows Gravity Forms to send a PDF attachment in email
add_filter("gform_user_notification_attachments_2", "add_attachment", 10, 3);
function add_attachment($attachments, $lead, $form){

    //getting wordpress upload folder
    $upload = wp_upload_dir();
    $upload_path = $upload["basedir"];

    $attachments = array();
    //add a file from the uploads folder
    $attachments[] = $upload_path . "/choosing-a-motorcycle-tour.pdf";

    return $attachments;
}

Am I doing something wrong, or have things change in 1.7?

Thanks David. So in the example on the page you cited, do you still use the _2 after attachments in the first line to denote form ID, or do you replace the "id" phrase with the actual form ID number (shown in line 16 of the example at the end of the cited page)?

Here's what I used, and it did not work:

// Allows Gravity Forms to send a PDF attachment in email
add_filter('gform_notification', 'change_user_notification_attachments_2', 10, 3);
function change_user_notification_attachments( $notification, $form, $entry ) {

 //There is no concept of user notifications anymore, so we will need to target notifications based on other criteria, such as name or subject
    if($notification["name"] == "User Notification"){

        $fileupload_fields = GFCommon::get_fields_by_type($form, array("fileupload"));

        if(!is_array($fileupload_fields))
            return $attachments;

        $attachments = array();
        $upload_root = RGFormsModel::get_upload_root();
        foreach($fileupload_fields as $field){
            $url = $entry[$field["id"]];
            $attachment = preg_replace('|^(.*?)/|', $upload_root, $url);
            if($attachment){
                $attachments[] = $attachment;
            }
        }

        $notification["choosing-a-motorcycle-tour.pdf"] = $attachments;

    }

    return $notification;
}

Thanks for your helpl

Still not working. Here's what I have. What could be hanging this up?

//Adds PDF attachment to User Notification
add_filter('gform_notification_2', 'change_user_notification_attachments', 10, 3);
function change_user_notification_attachments( $notification, $form, $entry ) {

    //There is no concept of user notifications anymore, so we will need to target notifications based on other criteria, such as name or subject
    if($notification["name"] == "User Notification"){

        $fileupload_fields = GFCommon::get_fields_by_type($form, array("fileupload"));

        if(!is_array($fileupload_fields))
            return $attachments;

        $attachments = array();
        $upload_root = RGFormsModel::get_upload_root();
        foreach($fileupload_fields as $field){
            $url = $entry[$field["id"]];
            $attachment = preg_replace('|^(.*?)/|', $upload_root, $url);
            if($attachment){
                $attachments[] = $attachment;
            }
        }

        $notification["choosing-a-motorcycle-tour.pdf"] = $attachments;

    }

    return $notification;
}

Yes, the name of the notification is "User Notification." The problem I'm having is knowing where to place the name of the file. Do I have that correct in the above example? Everything else is the same as the example you provided except I made the base directory the root of the uploads directory.

Hi Dana

Like Lee, I want to attach a PDF to the notification email but, unlike Lee (I think), I've never done any PHP coding and it scares me to death!

From your previous answer...

i) which PHP file do you make these edits to? I saw another post mentioning "common.php" but wanted to confirm this

ii) can I add my customised version of this code in one block at the bottom of the existing file, or does some of it need to go at the top of the file and some at the bottom?

Sorry to ask basic PHP questions but I was kind of hoping GF would provide this kind of facility with a nice button!!

I'm trying to add images uploaded to a form as attachments to the notification email. I tried using the code on the Gform_Notification documentation page and I tried the code below from when 1.7 was in beta. Any help would be appreciated. The form is on this page:

http://www.scannellproductions.com/employee-tools/promo-sheet/

add_filter('gform_notification', 'change_admin_notification_attachments', 10, 3);
function change_admin_notification_attachments( $notification, $form, $entry ) {
if($notification["name"] == "Admin Notification"){

$fileupload_fields = GFCommon::get_fields_by_type($form, array("fileupload"));

if(!is_array($fileupload_fields))
return $attachments;

$attachments = array();
$upload_root = RGFormsModel::get_upload_root();
foreach($fileupload_fields as $field){
$url = $lead[$field["id"]];
$attachment = preg_replace('|^(.*?)/gravity_forms/|', $upload_root, $url);
if($attachment){
$attachments[] = $attachment;
}
}
$notification["attachments"] = $attachments;
}
return $notification;
}
