E-mail sending 12 Jul 2012 07:26 #2779

In my component guests can add new entries.
All new entries are not published.
Is it possible to send an email to the administrator with the notice of the new entry?
and e-mail to the user with information that his entry was received and is waiting for the publication
I found this: docs.joomla.org/Sending_email_from_extensions

function responsible for sending e-mail should probably be in my controller in the function save () and aplay (), but do not know how to do it?
E-mail messages should be sent to the address given on the form and to administrator..

This is a very nice feature.
I do my best to implement it in 2.0

ok, I think I managed to solve this problem:

first, in my controller (components/com_myComponent/controllers/myController.php) I add this function:
function notify ($recipient){
	# get e-mail config from Joomla
	$config =& JFactory::getConfig();
	$from = array( 
		$config->getValue( 'config.mailfrom' ),
		$config->getValue( 'config.fromname' ) 
	);
 		
	# Set some variables for the email message
	$subjectAdmin = "Admin e-mail subject";
	$subjectUser = "User e-mail subject";
	$bodyAdmin = "Admin e-mail content ...";
	$bodyUser = "User e-mail content ...";
	$toAdmin = $config->getValue( 'config.mailfrom' );
	$toUser = $recipient;

	# Invoke JMail Class
	$mailerAdmin = JFactory::getMailer();
	$mailerUser = JFactory::getMailer();
			 
	$mailerAdmin->setSender($from);
	$mailerUser->setSender($from);
		 
	$mailerAdmin->addRecipient($toAdmin);
	$mailerUser->addRecipient($toUser);
		 
	$mailerAdmin->setSubject($subjectAdmin);
	$mailerUser->setSubject($subjectUser);
		
	$mailerAdmin->setBody($bodyAdmin);
	$mailerUser->setBody($bodyUser);
			 
	# If you would like to send as HTML, include this line; otherwise, leave it out
	$mailerAdmin->isHTML();
	$mailerUser->isHTML();
			 
	# Send once you have set all of your options
	$mailerAdmin->send();
	$mailerUser->send();
}

then in function save() before this line:
$this->setRedirect(FirmyHelper::urlRequest($vars));
I add this:
$this->notify($_POST['adres_email']);
where 'adres_emial' is a field that contains the user e-mail.

Of course we can add another function parameters.
And in the body of an email send more information from the form.

I hope that everything is fine.
Maybe this will help someone.

I I use this tutorial to find out how to Joomla send e-mail:

I used the same to send multiple emails to multiple recipients with different informations in it. Very powerful stuff indeed.

The only thing I would say to VentoStudio : never use $_POST directly.
Get the value from the input object of the application.

Freakin' Awesome!!! J-Cook is simply awesome - whether you're a highly experienced developer or complete novice whether you're building a small inventory component or a complete community solution! The beauty comes from a fast slick and reliable platform that readily provides developers with everything they'll need to build the backbone of a solid and secure component with wizards for authoring access publishing aliasing created/modified by dates... you name it COOK provides it! J-Cook really surpasses all of the 'competition' as far as MVC tools are concerned! Try love it and get cooking!
