I know how to add registration fields into those automated emails so our moderator can see user name, email etc. but how do I get a link in there that links to the uploaded file registration field where the user has uploaded a .pdf?

I want the moderator to be able to link to the file right from their email.

You should be able to substitute in the file field URL using [FIELD_NAME] substitution. If that's not working try the following usages.

[cb:userdata field="FIELD_NAME" /]

or

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

I am probably doing it wrong (see screenshot for my file upload field names).

Would I just put [cb_fileupload_1]? Because that doesn't work.

Or do I have to put [cb:userdata field="cb_fileupload_1" /]?

You need to put the field name. So yes cb_fileupload_1 is correct. Try all 3 variants above, but [FIELD_NAME] should work fine to give you the URL to the file.

I tried [cb:userdata field="cb_fileupload_1" /] and my whole site crashed.

ERROR LOG
[25-Jun-2015 10:03:29 America/Chicago] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /mnt/stor1-wc1-dfw1/380505/380510/www.cag-acg.org/web/content/SANDBOX-341/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/language/en-gb/cbplugin/cblanguageoverride-language.php on line 20

Is it because I copy and pasted? Or are the quotations the problem?

You've an unescaped quote in your string so you've a syntax error in your PHP. You really need to be using an IDE or you won't be able to see syntax errors when adding PHP. phpstorm, netbeans, and probably notepad++ with PHP plugin can help with this (there's quite a few more PHP ides out there with many being free).

My guess is your language string is using " to enclose it. This means you need to escape the " in your substitutions with a backslash. So you'd have the following in your language string.

[cb:userdata field=\"cb_fileupload_1\" /]

Alternatively just encase your language string with single quotes ' instead of double quotes " then escape any single quotes you may have.

Not much more I can advise without the full PHP source of your language string.
