Send email from a post - Marcolino92 - 09-25-2017
Hi guys, I would like that in the specific post posted by a user, the visitor interested in the ad could contact him by email. Just that I want everything to be on the same page, I do not want a page to send mail, but in the same post.
https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/email.html#using-the-email-library
PHP Code:
public function view($id = null) {
$data['itemView'] = $this->items_model->getItem($id);
if (empty($data['itemView'])) {
show_404();
}
$this->load->view('themes/header', $data);
$this->load->view('items/view', $data);
$this->load->view('themes/footer');
}
This is the View function in the controller, what should I do?

Then you would need to add the user etc to a database and send it later.

In your 'items/view', you can embed a snippet html for the required form. Just use the ajax post to submit the user data such as
Code:
//js snippet to submit form
var submit_data = $('form').serialize(); // assume you only have this custom form embedded otherwise you may need id for it
var url = '/Somecontroller/submit_user_data'; //follows Controller/action format
$.post(url,submit_data,function(data){
//your action code here for what being as data return
// i.e
if(data.success=1){
console.log('maybe some message on the form ' + data.message);
}
},'json');
Then your Somecontroller class may have function like this
function submit_userdata(){
$user_data= $this->input->post(NULL,TRUE); //$user_data is an ass. array that reflects on what you have at
// input form such as username, useremail,content_submitted so on
//note this is quick dirty suggestion, you may need to sanitize the user input
$bSaveStatus=$this->save_userdata($user_data); //user_data is an array and assume you have save_userdata as another func in this
//controller and it returns boolean TRUE upon success
if($bSaveStatus){
$bSendStatus=$this->send_email($user_data); // easy to set your own email function
//either by helper or lib of your own. I just simply use email lib class as per your reference
if($bSendStatus){
echo json_encode(array('success'=>1, message=>'OK email sent'));
}
}
echo json_encode(array('success'=>0, message=>'Your message on failure'));
}
function send_email($user_data){
$this->load->library('email'); //may have it in function __contruct at beginning of controller
$email_from = $user_data['useremail'];
$username = $user_data['username'];
$content_submitted = $user_data['content_submitted'];
$this->email->from($email_from, );
$this->email->to('[email protected]');
$this->email->cc('[email protected]');
$this->email->bcc('[email protected]');
$this->email->subject('Email Test');
$this->email->message($content_submitted);
$this->email->send();
return TRUE; // or you can further find out what this->email->send return
}Just quick suggestion, and you can adapt to your use with some modification to suit
Good luck
