BambooInvoice Forums

7forward.  Thanks for the kind words.  Wait until you see 0.8.3

With respect to the email, if you open up bamboo_system_files/application/controllers/invoices.php and then do a search for this line

remove the “//” and try sending another email.  Antyhing interesting?

Hey Derek,

Thanks for the reply. So I uncommented the debugger line and initially got a message saying the server may not be configured to send mail using mail() so I edided /libraries/Email.php and changed the protocol to ‘sendmail’ instead of mail and got this: http://forwardresources.com/images/bamboo_screen_shot.gif

Again, this would appear as though everything worked as planned - but still nothing in the inbox!? Strange… any advice from here?

Thanks again.

Hm.  Well, that tells us that Bamboo is successfully handing it off to the server, so at this point why it isn’t getting delivered I’m not sure, but it would seem that Bamboo is making a correct email, opening a connection to the mail server, and handing it off properly.

Possible its stuck in a spam folder somewhere?

Derek i followed your most recent instructions to these results:

Like I said before, I am fine with waiting on your next release, the email function is secondary to the invoices for me currently, however, if you see an easy fix…

Thanks

Hey Dito.  I don’t see an easy fix.  That said… there’s been some enchancement to the email library, and it may well solve your issues.  I’m hopeful to get the next version out the door in a few days, so maybe let me know if things persist after you see it.

Hello,

I fixed this same issue this last guy was having by tweaking Email.php in bamboo_system_files/libraries

I just changed two lines in this file (The debugging information helped)

var $protocol = “smtp”; // mail/sendmail/smtp
var $smtp_host = “localhost”; // SMTP Server.  Example: mail.earthlink.net

from “mail” to “smtp” for var “$protocol” and added in “localhost” to var “$smtp_host”

Funny but I tried these settings using the email.php config file and nothing changed.

Happy New Year (I am invoicing now and loving it :-) )

Francesca

I took your advice Francesca! Works like a charm! Thanks.

I need some help understanding what am i missing.
Send email part is working, however the message is received in MIME format all bunch of numbers and characters.
is there any tweaking for encoding that i should try.
Thank you
Marc

Hi Marc.  I’ve heard this report on some servers, but nobody has ever been able to provide further information for debugging.  Is this the “final” server that you intend on using Bamboo on?  Do you have access to another server that you could test with?  Could you provide me a bit more info about your hosting environment?

I am sending the email fine.  It arrives in my inbox as expected, but the body of the email is blank...notta.  If I have hijacked this thread and this issue is elsewhere, please forgive me.

Hi there Bamboo Has bee working just great for us up until just last week where it has decided to no longer send e-mails we get the following error message and have no idea what is upsetting it.

Any Ideas??

Many Thanks

Graham.

When things were working, and then stop and you didn’t do anything, its almost always because the host changed something on their end.  I’d suggest you ask your host for clues.
