Emailing a wishlist 1.5.2.1

[danasgarcia]

Hello all, I have currently coded a few addin pages that allow a guest to view a customers wishlist if they choose to make it public. I was wondering if any of you know how to load the mail module and use it? I have been looking through stock controllers and haven't seen it called. I tried

Code: Select all

$this->mail->setTo("email@email.com");

and also loaded the other required arguements before I tried

Code: Select all

$this->mail->send();

. I'm assuming by my lack of success that this is the incorrect way to do it or I should have loaded it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is an example of setting up mail. This example can either use a template...or just a text string to be echoed on the email.

Code: Select all

 $template = new Template();
         $template->data['order_id'] = $order_id;
         $text = "YOUR TEXT OR VARIABLE";
         //LOCATION OF YOUR HTML TEMPLATE
         if (file_exists(DIR_TEMPLATE . $this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/mail/order.tpl')) {
            $html = $template->fetch($this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/mail/order.tpl');
         } else {
            $html = $template->fetch('default/template/mail/order.tpl');
         }
         $mail = new Mail();
         $mail->protocol = $this->config->get('config_mail_protocol');
         $mail->parameter = $this->config->get('config_mail_parameter');
         $mail->hostname = $this->config->get('config_smtp_host');
         $mail->username = $this->config->get('config_smtp_username');
         $mail->password = $this->config->get('config_smtp_password');
         $mail->port = $this->config->get('config_smtp_port');
         $mail->timeout = $this->config->get('config_smtp_timeout');         
         $mail->setTo($order_info['email']);
         $mail->setFrom($this->config->get('config_email'));
         $mail->setSender($order_info['store_name']);
         $mail->setSubject(html_entity_decode($subject, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'));
         //IF YOU ARE NOT USING A TEMPLATE MAKE SURE TO COMMENT OUT THE LINE BELOW
         $mail->setHtml($html);
         ////////////////////////
         $mail->setText(html_entity_decode($text, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'));
         $mail->send();

Again, you will need to make sure certain variables are filled such as recipient email, subject, and so on and so forth. This will work for you.

Thank you so much, I appreciate your help. I didn't even think to just initialize it as an object.
