This is caused because yours truly forgot to add a setting to config-dist.php that you will need. EmbarassedCry

In your config.php file, near the end (before the line with ?> on it), add:

$cfg->sendemail = true;

There will be a 1.0.8 soon to fix this. 

Installations that upgrade to 1.0.7 from a previous version, and new installations of 1.1beta are not affected.

Thanks very much to Dirceu Lima (nettmax) for helping me spot the mistake! Cool

Hi,

I'm running 1.0.8 and experiencing this problem still, no e-mails are sent.
How can i track this down ?

 (I've tried to add the line "$cfg->sendemail = true;" and the following things:

  Sending E-Mail via bash / command line does work,
  sending e-mails via the php mail-function does work,
  and even a php-script using the "class.phpmailer.php" supplied with mahara does work.
  There are no entrys in the error-log regarding mail-problems...)

(And yes, I'm sure about using 1.0.8 ! ;-) )

 

Thank your for your help,

Stephan

Does a script that uses the Mahara function email_user work?

Try throwing some debugging lines in there, and see what you find.

Hi Nigel, thanks for your suggestion.

Which file of the mahara package do i have to include/require for using function email_user ?

Hi - just include init.php (the same way index.php does it), and the function will be available. The function itself is in lib/user.php around line 270.
