email

The email extension is working fine. But whenever I try to send email through gmail ids, I get an error -

mb_send_mail() [function.mb-send-mail]: SMTP server response: 530 SMTP authentication is required.

Please help me out. :((

hi there,

The extension works great! The only problem that i faced when i hosted my app online for testing is that once the email function is invoked in the controller , i receive the email after a couple of hours rather than instantly, i have tried it many times , but no changes at all, not even once get an instant email.

I have hosted my app in my sub-domain. Will it be a cause for this issue or is it something to do with the extension?

Lemme know if anybody else have this problem or anyways to get around it..!

Thanks..!

Hi,

I installed email extension. Normal mail its working fine. But I tried to create a view in email/views/myview.php . When I run the app, I am getting error saying controller can't find the view.

And one more query, Can I add images to this view?

Could you please help me with this?

Studying a bit the file /protected/extensions/email/Email.php, I get the method to manage views in body messages:

First of all, we call the mail method from your controller or model:

$email = Yii::app()->email;
$email->to = 'to@mail.com';
$email->subject = 'Subject text';
$email->view = 'myview';
$email->viewVars = array('var1'=>$var1,'var2'=>$var2);
$email->send();

Next, you need to create the view in /protected/views/email/myview.php

File /protected/views/email/myview.php:

Some email vars:<br>
Email:<?php echo $email->subject ?>
<br>
From:<?php echo $email->from ?>
<br>
Now, my own vars:<br>
Var1:<?php echo $var1 ?>
<br>
Var2:<?php echo $var2 ?>

Just only that.

can u please tell me how can i use a view

You said in your documentation: "Instead of defining the message with $email->message, you could instead define a view (and layout if you wish) to use as the email content. This is much more flexible and maintains MVC better."

Please, could you be kind to write a little strip code to get it?

Thanks.

I've realised I use this extension in every project now. Excellent work.

I get an error of call to undefined function. I also tried the suggestion from above:

"if you have error with encoding -> after line 139 mb_language($this->language); insert mb_internal_encoding($this->contentType);"

It looks like I may not have something installed on my machine. I have Windows 7 x64 with standard install of php. Could I be missing something?

Thank you lot. Your tip is perfect.

I have some problems with headers, because the separator is \r\n and it should be just \n.

Some email clients separate \r\n in two lines, so they email get it like this, and it doesn't work!:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

MIME-Version: 1.0

Mime-Version: 1.0

Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64

...

if you have error with encoding -> after line 139 mb_language($this->language); insert
mb_internal_encoding($this->contentType);

Thank you for this plugin !

Just a typo in the documentation for the debug widget, it's 'application.extensions.email.Debug' (debug will fail on linux)

The plugin works great but you can improve it by allowing user to give two different view, one for HTML and one for plain text. Then you should update the content type of the email according to the given view.

I also have problem with the content encoding. I'll look into this issue and give a feedback ASAP.

you mean replyTo?

$email->replyTo = 'namename@email.com';

How to add sender data in debug?

<?php $email->from = 'namename@email.com'; $email->to = 'adminNameadmin@example.com'; $email->subject = 'Hello'; $email->message = 'Hello brother';

I can do that. I am uploading the new version.

Not sure if I did it correctly though! I had no prior experience with mb_send_mail(). Comments?

This extension does not support multi-byte language. So, I use mb_send_mail function instead of mail function. we have to change charset on 'Content-Type' too.

please add delivery mode for multi-byte languages.
