GoogleMail

Not sure if it already works for you, but if you want to connect to a google mail account you have to set up the host like this:

$mail->Host = 'smtp.googlemail.com:465';
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";

Thank you!

Thank you for adding this as an extension. Works fantastic after tons of trouble with two other mailers.

Thanks again.

Confusion

Thanks for the simple extension.

I had a bit of problem with the Gmail SMTP connection, but eventually found that adding the following solved the problem.

$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";

When I click submit on the default contact page form, the flash message tells my the email has been sent. This happens on localhost and the live test server. I am not sure why the code is executing correctly but no emails are arriving. (And yes, the email addresses and passwords were all correct and valid :)

I have the following code in my controller, please take a look and tell me if I'm missing something.

Thanks

public function actionContact()
{
  $model=new ContactForm;
  if(isset($_POST['ContactForm']))
  {
    $model->attributes=$_POST['ContactForm'];
    if($model->validate())
    {
      Yii::import('application.extensions.phpmailer.JPhpMailer'); 
      $mail = new JPhpMailer; $mail->IsSMTP(); 
      $mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";  
      $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; 
      $mail->SMTPAuth = true; 
      $mail->SMTPSecure = true; 
      $mail->Username = 'myusername@gmail.com'; 
      $mail->Port = '465'; 
      $mail->Password = '******'; 
      $mail->SMTPKeepAlive = true;  
      $mail->Mailer = "smtp"; 
      $mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP  
      $mail->SMTPAuth   = true;  
      $mail->CharSet = 'utf-8';  
      $mail->SMTPDebug  = 0;
      $mail->SetFrom('myusername@gmail.com', 'myname'); 
      $mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer Test Subject via GMail, basic with authentication'; 
      $mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!'; 
      $mail->MsgHTML('<h1>JUST A TEST!</h1>'); 
      $mail->AddAddress('to@someone.co.za', 'John Doe'); $mail->Send();
      Yii::app()->user->setFlash('contact','Thank you for... as possible.');
      $this->refresh();
    }
  }
  $this->render('contact',array('model'=>$model));
}

Gmail Testing fail

I am using Gmail also, but I fail to send email. Below is the snippet

$mail = new JPhpMailer;
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = '465';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'SSL';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'mygmail@gmail.com';
$mail->Password = 'password';
$mail->SetFrom('mygmail@gmail.com', 'Falcon');
$mail->Subject = 'Welcome to Hazel Eyes';
$mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!';
$mail->MsgHTML('<h1>JUST A TEST!</h1>');
$mail->AddAddress('myother@hotmail.com', 'Falcon CK');
$mail->Send();

reply to prchakal

renderPartial() in your controller is simple~

How is this better than just using the raw php file?

I can put phpmailer.php in my components folder and call $mail = new phpmailer();

why bother with the extension?

good email

It works good!

but if use it as components you must edit it.

such as:

add init();

add reply-to email;

change the iso-8859-1 to utf-8 for subject is not show in chinese.
