Does this plugin allow dynamic variables?  I am trying to use {site_name} and {webmaster_email} and they are not being processed.

Hi, I tried the parse=inward and that didn’t work either.

Ok, that’s no problem.  I will just workaround it.

Thanks anyways.

I’m very interested in this. I’ve been asked to create a sort of tell-a-friend/e-card that self submits after a freeform is submitted. This might be a great way to make that happen.

I’m getting the following error on my EE 2 site, any thoughts?

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Any news following on from Nick Benson’s comment above? Having the same issue…

I have a request that allows using conditionals inside the message. I’m populating the message field with some custom fields, and if that custom field is not present, I don’t want it to show up. Something simple like {if custom_field}Content here{/if}

Also, might you know why having ‘http://’ in the message field outputs as encoded HTML character entities instead? Is there a way this can be switched from within the plugin?

Thanks.

Hi,

I added to the send email plugin since I had the same HTML character entities problem.
I added a function from the Regular expressions class to the -> $E->message($REGX->unhtmlentities($message));  Don’t forget to call the class -> global $REGX; // EEv1 syntax.

The unhtmlentities function takes a string and returns with all entities turned into their characters. http://expressionengine.com/legacy_docs/development/reference/regex.html

In a bit of a hurry, so I have to keep this short, hope this helps!

Re: Use of undefined constant PATH_CORE

Looking at the file and the structure of 1.6 V 2.0.1 that the file it’s referencing “core.email” no longer exists in 2.1.X

No idea how to amend or what to amend to :(

I got this to work on EE 2.1.3 by replacing the send email code with this:

        // Send email
        $this->EE->load->library(‘email’);
        $this->EE->email->initialize();
        if ($from_email && $from_name)
        {
          $this->EE->email->from($from_email, $from_name);
        }
        else
        {
          $this->EE->email->from($PREFS->ini(‘webmaster_email’), $PREFS->ini(‘webmaster_name’));
        }
        $this->EE->email->to($to);
        if ($subject)
        {
          $this->EE->email->subject($subject);
        }
        else
        {
          $this->EE->email->subject( “Email from ” . $PREFS->ini(‘site_name’) );
        }
        $this->EE->email->message($message);
        $this->EE->email->Send();

Just wondering…

Does this plugin work when it’s submit? It mentions that it works without submitting a form. Does that mean I can set up a cron job that will then just send an email?

I’m tring to find a method to send emails after a query I the DB that pulls out certain users - ths might be perfect!

If I understand correctly ... the from name, from email address, to email address and subject all have to be hard-coded into the template. It is not possible, for example, to look at a channel entry and pull out the details from there?

I was hoping to use this plug-in to send a “thank you” notification email to a user after they had filled in a form (with which I am using Safecracker to store the entered details in a channel) on the site. The “to” email address at the very least will be dynamic.

Can I not do this with this plug-in?

Thought I’d better say ... I’ve tried putting the {exp:channel:entries} code directly within the send_email tag, as well as calling the result via a snippet and an embed, but none worked. Works fine when I hard-code the details.

Rob, try wrapping the Send_email plugin INSIDE of the Channel:Entries tag, and use parse=“inward” on the outer tag. Then you can use the email address variables from your entries as the parameters of Send_email.

This is a great little plugin. I am combining it with EEI_TCPDF to generate a PDF from a template then saves it, and uses Send Email to attach and email it.

So I have modified your file to add attach, I think you should update it, its very useful…

$attachment = $TMPL->fetch_param(‘attachment’);
       
// Attach attachment
if($attachment != ‘’)
{
  $this->EE->email->attach($attachment);
}

I’ve tried it with mailtype=“html”, but all the html is being displayed in email clients. What might be the cause of this? I’m using EE 2.5.2

It says that the mailtype parameter was added in 2010, but it doesn’t seem to be in V1.4.
To add it in:
$mailtype = $TMPL->fetch_param(‘mailtype’);
if ($mailtype == “html”)
{
$this->EE->email->mailtype = ‘html’;
}
