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?

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 :(

Hey James, I am also getting the same PHP error as Nick. I have tried everything that I’m aware of, but nothing is working. I’ll just have to be patient, kick my shoes off, and try working around my issue. I seem to get flustered when I can’t get anywhere. I’ll let everyone know if I come up with something.

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();
