Reg Email Attachment

[SpasticWarrior]

I'm building a Drupal site for use as a community/business support site by a group of independent business owners. I would like to attach our "Community Guide" (a pdf file) to the email that new registrants get when they create their account.

Any thoughts on how to do that would be appreciated. Please keep in mind, I'm not a programmer.

Thanks!
Jim

You should be able to upload the pdf document to your site and then put a direct link to it in the email you send out. That's assuming you know how to upload files to your site. If not here's a simple explination on how to upload a single file to your site. Type in your internet browser http://yoursite.com/cpanel (replace yoursite.com with your website) and enter in your username and password. When that opens click on the icon that says "File Manager" it should be the first Icon in the second row of icons. That will open a new window that will display some folders with names that begin with periods. Look for the one that says "www" and click on the folder right next to where it says "www". Now you should be able to click on where it says "Upload File(s)" at the top of the window just below where it says "Create new folder". That will bring up a page with a bunch of browse buttons, click on the first one on the top left of the page and browse to where your PDF file is at. Once you have that selected click the Upload button and your file will start to be uploaded. This may take some time depending on the size of your document. Once the file has uploaded the link to it will be something like http://yoursite.com/Community_Guide.pdf just replace the site name and file name accordingly.

Hopefully that helps. If I lost you at any point feel free point out any areas that are unclear and I'll try to clarify.
