Guest Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Hi, I have my catalog up an running at Satellite Discs I have a hosted server, for which I can't edit the php.ini, and which uses SMTP) so I've also added the SMTP contribution. My problem is that, while I can send emails from Admin, I can't from the catalog. I noticed that, when I uncomment the body line like so... // The body of the email // $send_params['body'] = "$this->output"; ...in the edited \store\includes\classes\email.php, I DO GET THE EMAIL, but it (of course) has no body!!!!! So what would stop the catalog sending any emails without a body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Crazy update to this... I took a look at the password_forgotten.php, and noticed that I change... tep_mail($check_customer['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $check_customer['customers_lastname'], $email_address, EMAIL_PASSWORD_REMINDER_SUBJECT, sprintf(EMAIL_PASSWORD_REMINDER_BODY, $new_password), STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS); to be... tep_mail($check_customer['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $check_customer['customers_lastname'], $email_address, EMAIL_PASSWORD_REMINDER_SUBJECT, $new_password, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS); ... basically "sprintf(EMAIL_PASSWORD_REMINDER_BODY, $new_password)" became "$new_password"...and it worked. So the problem either has something to do with the SMTP class not liking the sprintf function or it not liking this instance where sprintf is being used with the rather complex EMAIL_PASSWORD_REMINDER_BODY as defined in the default language file. I'm pretty sure is a combo of both, because I changed the language file to be somehting really simple, ie... define('EMAIL_PASSWORD_REMINDER_BODY', 'Your new password to the Satellite Discs online store is: '); ...and then using the default password_forgotten.php the resultant email came out like... Your new password to the Satellite Discs online store is: so, in summary, I can get a password if I don't use the sprintf() function, but I don't get any nice text in the email. If I do use the sprintf() function, I can only get it to add text from the language file if I simplify it, but then I can get the new password appended. Can someone come up with a solution or workaround so that sprintf() can work with the SMTP contrib? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 OK, looks like there's not much interest in this. :( I do have one question though, since I can't view my SMTP server's error log, how can I view the email formatting that oscommerce creates? Can I get the mail functions to send the email to a text file, so that I can examine it? If so, can someone give me some pointers as to how to do that?

Guest Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Sorted... . http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=90360 ...the solution in my case was to forget about the SMTP "contribution" and use the mail::factory php function. It really was a piece of cake, and now I can leave my password_forgotten.php the way it was and everything is fine and dandy. One thing though - you can't use the "Send extra order emails to" fucntion in Admin, it will cause problems when the user makes the order. It's easier to edit the SMTP to... $headers["To"] = array("$to_addr","[email protected]"); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpldisplays Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Hi Guys, I was just wondering about using this email method... I am running the SMTP contribution which is fine and I have actually added our email address as a cc in the SMTP contribution so we can get the extra order emails etc... My problem is that I also have a couple of other contribs that are batch orientated and I there for cannot send out emails in batches as I get an error about redeclaring the SMTP class which frustrates me. This is similar to the problem I trying to send a newsletter via admin when you are running the SMTP contrib. So I am wondering if using this method you have spoken of will work if multiple emails are sent out at the same time. Any Thoughts? Cheers!!

chooch Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 i done it but nothing happens even the contact_us.php don't get sent now! i got to do this because the damn email crap is killing me. Any advice anyone please? [email protected] goes through but nothing for customers goes through... no order emails/updates/newsletter/confirmation etc thanks Upon receiving fixes and advice, too many people don't bother to post updates informing the forum of how it went. Until of course they need help again on other issues and they come running back! Why receive the information you require in good faith for free, only to then have the attitude to ignore the people who gave it to you? There's no harm in saying, 'Thanks, it worked'. On the contrary, it creates a better atmosphere. CHOOCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 General advice only I'm afraid. If you're on a Windows server then set the mail settings in osC admin panel to SMTP, but if you're on an Apache web server (Unix/Linux) then set it to Sendmail. Set 'Use MIME HTML' to false, and set 'Verify e-mail addresses through dns' to false also. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuan Le Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...all/search,smtp After applying the "SMTP through authenticated SMTP server" contribution above, my "Contact Us" fuction stopped working. :( All inquiries coming to us through this "Contact Us" page would have the "From" email field replaced with our email address, instead of the customer email address. Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -Tuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuce23 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 The mail.php file is from the PEAR package which can be found at http://pear.php.net. The documentation says it's already there for PHP v4.3 or higher which is what I'm running but I couldn't find the go-pear.bat file they refered to in the windows installation. If your running Linux, there are instructions in the manual. I went through the entire installation though I'm not sure that I needed to because it still didn't work after the install. I copied the file mail.php from the top level pear directory into the include path as stated in the php.ini file. I'm running apache on a W2K machine so I put it in the apache\includes directory. I tested on a new account and also "tell a friend" and the emails went through fine. If you want to try and just download the mail package and copy the top leve mail.php file, here is the link to that package. http://pear.php.net/package/Mail Hope this helps.

Guest Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have an oscommerce site that has been up for several months. Everything has been working without a hitch. Today, for some unknown reason I stopped receiving emails from my site. It is hosted on a dedicated server (apache) and the email server works fine. I have contacted the host to verify that the email server is working. I can receive email from other places but not my oscommerce store. If I place a test order, I get nothing if I send an email from send-mail, I get nothing. Not getting anything from the contact us page either. This all started suddenly without any editing to any files on my site. Can anyone please help? Thanks, Rickey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
