Hi,
this is certainly a silly question:
I want to use a helper function or class to send an Email with Emailer extension, because I dont want to configure the mailer within the controller every time.
Where is the best place for it? How to extend the component extension correctly?

the function is something like this: function sendMail($to, $subject, $body){}

the function is something like this: function sendMail($to, $subject, $body){}

You can find and example in the documentation tab of the extension.

this is my approach to configure the Emailer

• create a class MyApp in protected/helpers folder
  
• create a function MyApp::sendMail($to, $subject, $body)
  
• import application/helpers.*
  
• added the Emailer to application components

Anyone know how to get this to work with views in a theme?

Currently I have to copy the views to the views folder in the protected directory.

Hello this extesion is amazing..
But How can I do to send a e-mail with images ?? I mean that the content of the e-mail contains images. (Not attachments).

I research and I need to specify some headers.. but using this extension how can I do that?

[aqge]

'components'=>array(
                'mailer' => array(
                          'class' => 'application.extensions.mailer.EMailer',
                          'pathViews' => 'application.views.email',
                          'pathLayouts' => 'application.views.layouts'
                       ),

this wont change the

   
protected $pathLayouts = 'application.views.email.layouts';

i ve to change it manualy on the emailer.php


is there any mistake?

Hey guys, I'm trying to set up so Mailer works with the Godaddy account together. I have been so far unsuccessful. Can anybody let me know what is wrong in my configuration?

Yii::app()->mailer->Host = 'smtpout.secureserver.net';
		Yii::app()->mailer->IsSMTP(true);
		Yii::app()->mailer->Username = "info@****.com";
		Yii::app()->mailer->Password = "****";
		Yii::app()->mailer->From = 'info@****.com';
		Yii::app()->mailer->FromName = '****';
		Yii::app()->mailer->IsHTML(true);
		Yii::app()->mailer->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
		Yii::app()->mailer->AddReplyTo('info@****.com');
		Yii::app()->mailer->AddAddress($********->email);
		Yii::app()->mailer->Subject = '****';
		Yii::app()->mailer->Body = $message;
		if(!$mailer->Send())
		{
			$this->actionBad();
			throw new CHttpException(500, 'Something went horribly wrong');
		}
		else
		{
			$this->actionOk();			
		}

I get: "SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. Transaction Failed!"

I have enabled SMTP relay on the account and I still get this problem.


PS: one more question, is there a way of connecting with SSL using this extension?

EDIT:

Made it work - just had to put "relay-hosting.secureserver.net" into host part of the setup.

Continuing to work on SSL setup.

EDIT:

getting connection refused. I'm using 465 port, SMTPSecure = 'ssl' SMTPAuth = True.

I used this extension on one of my previous projects, and ssl connection works fine so far with these configs:

            $this->SMTPDebug = false;
            $this->Mailer='smtp';
            $this->SMTPAuth=true;
            $this->SMTPSecure='ssl';
            $this->Host="smtp.gmail.com";
            $this->Port=465;


            $this->CharSet = 'utf-8';
            $this->ContentType = 'text/html';
            $this->WordWrap = 70;
            $this->FromName=Yii::app()->name;
            $this->setFrom=Yii::app()->params->siteEmail;
             $this->Username =  // SMTP username
            $this->Password = // SMTP password

	throw new CHttpException(500, 'Something went horribly wrong');
}

}

EDIT: DUH!!! Talked to guys in chat and figured out that I need to use SMTPS instead of SMTP. WOrks perfectly now.

Thanks!!!

Hi Guys,

Apologies in advance if someone has already raised this, but there is a small logic error in the phpmailer class on line 1236 in the addAttachments function.

The last element of the array is set to 0, this is the unique id for the attachment, therefore it will stop any subsequent attachments from being added by the AttachAll function.

      $this->attachment[] = array(
        0 => $path,
        1 => $filename,
        2 => $name,
        3 => $encoding,
        4 => $type,
        5 => false,  // isStringAttachment
        6 => 'attachment',
        7 => 0, // <= THIS LINE HERE
      );

If you change it to increment you can send more than 1 attachment per email.

      $this->attachment[] = array(
        0 => $path,
        1 => $filename,
        2 => $name,
        3 => $encoding,
        4 => $type,
        5 => false,  // isStringAttachment
        6 => 'attachment',
        7 => count($this->attachment),
      );

The error is present in the current version of the mailer extension.

Cheers
Ben
