email configuration

[jbrink]

This is ridiculous, but I cannot get email to go in this new version. My settings are EXACTLY the same as they were in the old version. I've checked with my mail admin and they are not being blocked, I've tried to other emails on different mail servers and nothing. What is wrong?

1. I have an admin.email that is valid
2. I have enable.email as true
3. I have phpmailer as mail

Hello,

Mine is like this, and it is working fine :

$conf['settings']['phpmailer']['mailer'] = 'mail';              // options are 'mail', 'smtp' or 'sendmail'
$conf['settings']['phpmailer']['smtp.host'] = '';               // 'smtp.university.ca'
$conf['settings']['phpmailer']['smtp.port'] = '25';
$conf['settings']['phpmailer']['smtp.secure'] = '';             // options are '', 'ssl' or 'tls'
$conf['settings']['phpmailer']['smtp.auth'] = 'true';           // options are 'true' or 'false'
$conf['settings']['phpmailer']['smtp.username'] = '';
$conf['settings']['phpmailer']['smtp.password'] = '';
$conf['settings']['phpmailer']['sendmail.path'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

that is exactly what I have

This is quite unfortunate. My original (working) version of phpscheduleit is corrupted - this happened when I attempted the migration using the tool. It worked before it and did not work afterwards

Now, I'm told by hostgator that regarding the email and threads I've managed to pc together on php.ini and sendmail.ini "Unfortunately, you will have to contact a script developer regarding this issue." So it looks like I cannot use the 2.0 version either unless someone has suggestions?

At a minimum this should be included as a warning in the installation directions to hosted systems, I'm now 5 days into this and still nowhere...

I'll ask the silly question: are email notifications turned on in your profile? There is really no reason why you'd need to change anything about php.ini or sendmail if email was working in 1.2.

[jbrink]

Yes, they are turned on. At this point, I've actually reinstalled v1.2 because not being able to get the mail to work is a dealbreaker. I also saw on hostgator where I can get to the php.ini, but I'm not really that technical so I'm terrified to fool around with it.

nick, regarding 1.2 I actually sent you a question off line in trying to suppress repeat events in that version: 

On an older thread you suggested:
Try changing line 96 of templates\reserve.template.php to:

if ($res->type == RES_TYPE_ADD && Auth::IsAdmin()) {

When I do that, as admin it works fine but on the user side when I attempt a booking it returns

Calendar.setup: Nothing to setup (no fields found). Please check your code

If I could just get this working that would be great. It really has served us quite well over many months if I could just supress this one thing.

You'll want something very similar in the print_jscalendar_setup() function of the same file
