[#5358] Adding uploaded file registration field into email

I am confused. So I don't use quotes. Then wouldn't my code be:

[cb:userdata field=\cb_fileupload_1\ /]

You have to use quotes. That's how the substitution is formatted.

Valid:
'KEY' => 'This is my language string'

Invalid:
'KEY' => 'This's my language string'

The above is invalid because the string is surrounded by single quote, but there's an unescaped single quote in it which causes it to break out early. It would be escaped as follows.

'KEY' => 'This\'s my language string'

This is just basics of PHP though and not specific to our usage. I highly recommend using an IDE and becoming more familiar with PHP. See the below for some PHP tutorials.

There's nothing more I can suggest without seeing your full language string. In your case I'm guessing you're hitting something like the following.

Invalid:
"KEY" => "My string [cb:userdata field="cb_fileupload_1" /]"

Valid:
"KEY" => "My string [cb:userdata field=\"cb_fileupload_1\" /]"

Sorry I should have given you the full string:

'UE_REG_ADMIN_PA_MSG' => 'A new Membership Application has been received by the CAG and requires approval. Please log in to [SITEURL] to approve or reject.\n\nMember Details\n\nName - [NAME]\nE-mail - [EMAILADDRESS]\nProfession - [cb_profession]\nInstitution - [cb_institution]\nFile Upload - [cb_fileupload_1]\nFile Upload - [cb:userdata field="cb_fileupload_1"]',

With the string above, this is how is appears in an email (see attached screenshot).

I would like a link that the moderator can click on.

The first raw substitution is working fine, but its HTML looks escaped. The second one isn't working because the substitution isn't closed. It needs to be as follows.

[cb:userdata field="cb_fileupload_1" /]

You have the following.

[cb:userdata field="cb_fileupload_1"]

The below may work too.

[cb:userfield field="cb_fileupload_1" output="csv" /]

Ok the second one worked but it looks a little messy (see attached).
