Hi All,
I'm still not able to email using Email a wiki page or via the Watch
plugin.....
I've set up my email server (sendmail) on my Solaris server and set the
appropriate setting in XWiki to talk to it and using the code below (taken
from the XWiki website) to successfully send an email (presumably this uses
the email plugin??) :
{{velocity}}
#if($xwiki.hasAccessLevel('admin'))
#if("$!{request.action}" == 'send_mail'&&
"$!{request.lastname}" == '')
## Check submission and honey pot.
#if("$!request.recipient" != ''&&
"$!request.subject" != '')
#set($result = $xwiki.mailsender.sendTextMessage("no-reply(a)xwiki.com
<mailto:no-reply@xwiki.com> ", $request.recipient, $request.subject,
"$!request.message"))
#if($result == -1)
{{error}}A problem occurred while sending the mail.{{/error}}
#else
{{info}}Everything went OK.{{/info}}
#end
#else
{{error}}Please specify at least a recipient and a subject{{/error}}
#end
#end
{{html wiki=true}}
<form action="" method="post">
<input name="action" value="send_mail" type="hidden"
/>
## this is a honey-pot hidden text field hat hopefully robots will not
leave empty
<div class="hidden">
<input name="lastname" type="text" />
</div>
<fieldset>
**TO:**<br />
<input type="text" name="recipient" /><br />
**SUBJECT:**<br />
<input type="text" name="subject" /><br />
**MESSAGE:**<br />
<textarea name="message" style="width:99%;" rows=10>Your
test message
here.</textarea>
</fieldset>
<div>
<span class="buttonwrapper"><input type="submit"
class="button"
value="Send" /></span>
</div>
</form>
{{/html}}
#else
{{error}}Oops. Area restricted to Admins, sorry.{{/error}}
#end
{{/velocity}}
BUT ..... in my XWiki wiki (I have the latest version) when I select to
email a wiki page and press the Send button nothing seems to happen (I
assume the email dialog should close when you press the Send button and an
email should be sent), also when adding a Watch on the wiki or wiki page and
the page is changed then no email is sent to the user who has put the watch
on the page .... does anyone know why the emails aren't getting sent????
For the watch problem, check that the user has selected a valid
watchlist interval, since by default all users have the watchlist
emailer disabled. You can do that by going to your profile, and editing
the preferences on the Watchlist tab.
Having the facility to email a wiki page and to watch
wiki pages would
certainly help get more people to use our wiki.
Any clues for fixing this would be most appreciated!
Thanks.
Richard
