Hello Guys,

I'm starting with CodeIgniter. I read the UserGuide and I've used the search without sucess.

So, that is the problem, Tank Auth is installed in my CodeIgniter project, but when I try to register, the registration email is not sent.

I edited Email.php in system/libraries to this:

Code:

var    $useragent        = "CodeIgniter";

    var    $mailpath        = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";    // Sendmail path

    var    $protocol        = "smtp";    // mail/sendmail/smtp

    var    $smtp_host        = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";        // SMTP Server.  Example: mail.earthlink.net

    var    $smtp_user        = "[email protected]";        // SMTP Username

    var    $smtp_pass        = "Password";        // SMTP Password

    var    $smtp_port        = "465";        // SMTP Port

    var    $smtp_timeout    = 7;        // SMTP Timeout in seconds

    var    $wordwrap        = TRUE;        // TRUE/FALSE  Turns word-wrap on/off

    var    $wrapchars        = "76";        // Number of characters to wrap at.

    var    $mailtype        = "text";    // text/html  Defines email formatting

    var    $charset        = "utf-8";    // Default char set: iso-8859-1 or us-ascii

    var    $multipart        = "mixed";    // "mixed" (in the body) or "related" (separate)

    var $alt_message    = '';        // Alternative message for HTML emails

    var    $validate        = FALSE;    // TRUE/FALSE.  Enables email validation

    var    $priority        = "3";        // Default priority (1 - 5)

    var    $newline        = "\r\n";        // Default newline. "\r\n" or "\n" (Use "\r\n" to comply with RFC 822)

    var $crlf            = "\r\n";        // The RFC 2045 compliant CRLF for quoted-printable is "\r\n".  Apparently some servers,

                                    // even on the receiving end think they need to muck with CRLFs, so using "\n", while

                                    // distasteful, is the only thing that seems to work for all environments.

    var $send_multipart    = TRUE;        // TRUE/FALSE - Yahoo does not like multipart alternative, so this is an override.  Set to FALSE for Yahoo.

    var    $bcc_batch_mode    = FALSE;    // TRUE/FALSE  Turns on/off Bcc batch feature

    var    $bcc_batch_size    = 200;        // If bcc_batch_mode = TRUE, sets max number of Bccs in each batch

    var $_safe_mode        = FALSE;

    var    $_subject        = "";

    var    $_body            = "";

    var    $_finalbody        = "";

    var    $_alt_boundary    = "";

    var    $_atc_boundary    = "";

    var    $_header_str    = "";

    var    $_smtp_connect    = "";

    var    $_encoding        = "8bit";

    var $_IP            = FALSE;

    var    $_smtp_auth        = TRUE;

    var $_replyto_flag    = FALSE;

The file email.php in application/config is this:

Code:
&lt;?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

/*

| -------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Email

| -------------------------------------------------------------------------

| This file lets you define parameters for sending emails.

| Please see the user guide for info:

|

|    http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/email.html

|

*/

$config['mailtype'] = 'html';

$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';

$config['newline'] = '\r\n';

/* End of file email.php */

/* Location: ./application/config/email.php */

But if i try to send an simple email (with the same system/libraries/Email.php) like this:

Code:

//Testanto o Email

        $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'My name');

        $this->email->to('[email protected]');

        

        $this->email->subject('Email de Teste!');

        $this->email->message('Este é o corpo do meu email de Teste!');

        

        $this->email->send();

        

        echo $this->email->print_debugger();

That works...

Any idea of what is the problem?

Guys,

removing the email.php (config file) and setting the variables in Email class directly, all works, I dont know if there is an bug of CodeIgniter 2.0 or in Tank Auth, or if i'm a realy noob.

So, if you culd help me i'll be thankfull.

I had the same problem and couldnt figure it out either. Finally i tried what fillipe.bs suggested and it helped resolve the problem. But make sure that for Tank Auth to work you set all the expected parameters in the email class. (system/libraries/email.php)

Code:
var    $useragent        = "CodeIgniter";

    var    $mailpath        = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";    // Sendmail path

    var    $protocol        = "smtp";    // mail/sendmail/smtp

    var    $smtp_host        = "ssl://smtp.googlemail.com";        // SMTP Server.  Example: mail.earthlink.net

    var    $smtp_user        = "xxxxx@xxxx";        // SMTP Username

    var    $smtp_pass        = "xxxxx";        // SMTP Password

    var    $smtp_port        = 465;        // SMTP Port

    var    $smtp_timeout    = 5;        // SMTP Timeout in seconds

    var    $wordwrap        = TRUE;        // TRUE/FALSE  Turns word-wrap on/off

    var    $wrapchars        = "76";        // Number of characters to wrap at.

    var    $mailtype        = "html";    // text/html  Defines email formatting

    var    $charset        = "utf-8";    // Default char set: iso-8859-1 or us-ascii

    var    $multipart        = "mixed";    // "mixed" (in the body) or "related" (separate)

    var $alt_message    = '';        // Alternative message for HTML emails

    var    $validate        = FALSE;    // TRUE/FALSE.  Enables email validation

    var    $priority        = "3";        // Default priority (1 - 5)

    var    $newline        = "\r\n";    // Default newline. "\r\n" or "\n" (Use "\r\n" to comply with RFC 822)

The protocol and smtp details are obvious but I had missed out on the \r\n for newline and this was causing the register page in tank auth to time out or not give any response even after a long long long time. So please be careful - the default is only \n which doesnt work with Tank Auth and gives no response. Also the mailtype should be html.

Once i got this working - i tested the test mail. Here is a simple test mail controller - and it works for the scenarios where you set everything in the Email.php (system/libraries/email.php) as follows

Code:
&lt;?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Test_Mail extends CI_Controller {

    function __construct()

    {

        parent::__construct();

    }

    function index()

    {

        $this->load->library('email');

        $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

        // Set to, from, message, etc.

        $this->email->from('xxx@localhost', 'Post Master');

        $this->email->to('xx@xxx); 

        $this->email->subject('Email Test');

        $this->email->message('Testing the email class using no config here.');    

        $this->email->send();

        echo $this->email->print_debugger();

    }

}

/* End of file test_mail.php */

/* Location: ./application/controllers/test_mail.php */

Again note the $this->email->set_newline("\r\n"). This is essential i guess.

And also works fine without loading everything in the Email.php class and passing it as a configuration array.

Code:

&lt;?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Test_Mail extends CI_Controller {



    function __construct()

    {

        parent::__construct();

    }



    function index()

    {



        $config = Array(

           'protocol' => 'smtp',

             'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',

            'smtp_port' => 465,

            'smtp_user' => 'xxx@gxxx',

            'smtp_pass' => 'xxx',

            'mailtype'  => 'html',

            'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'

        );





        $this->load->library('email');

        $this->email->initialize($config);



        $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");



        // Set to, from, message, etc.



        $this->email->from('xxx@localhost', 'Post Master');

        $this->email->to('[email protected]'); 



        $this->email->subject('Email Test');

        $this->email->message('Testing the email class using no config here.');    



        $this->email->send();



        echo $this->email->print_debugger();

    }

}



/* End of file test_mail.php */

/* Location: ./application/controllers/test_mail.php */

Once again - $this->email->set_newline("\r\n") appears in the test and i do consider it important now.

Unfortunately one scenario that still needs investigation is setting the config in the email.php (applications/config/email.php) - which i have read else where isnt working - a problem with code igniter or tank auth - no idea, but after exhausting myself with my trail and errors all day - just didnt have the energy to test this and going to take a hint from other threads which says to delete the config/email.php.

However i am going to need to make this work with Mercury mail (XAMPP on Win7) on localhost
since my gmail ports are blocked at office - so will post those details here as well for anyone else like me trying out the same.

But i did restart apache after my changes - so think that might help too though not necessarily!

Added $this->email->initialize(); to _send_email() fixed this for me.

Hi, you can try in your config/email.php file:

$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
$config['smtp_port'] = 465;
$config['smtp_user'] = '[email protected]'; // your email
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'xxx'; // your password
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';

I know this is an old thread, but maybe this help someone...
