send email in sugarcrm

[akkimca]

Hi,

i wrote this php code in my php file called mail.php

      require_once('include/SugarPHPMailer.php');
     require_once("modules/Administration/Administration.php");

     $mail = new SugarPHPMailer();
     $admin = new Administration();
     
     $admin->retrieveSettings();
     if ($admin->settings['mail_sendtype'] == "SMTP") {
       $mail->Host = $admin->settings['mail_smtpserver'];
       $mail->Port = $admin->settings['mail_smtpport'];
       if ($admin->settings['mail_smtpauth_req']) {
         $mail->SMTPAuth = TRUE;
         $mail->Username = $admin->settings['mail_smtpuser'];
         $mail->Password = $admin->settings['mail_smtppass'];
       }
       $mail->Mailer   = "smtp";
       $mail->SMTPKeepAlive = true;
     }
     else {
       $mail->mailer = 'sendmail';
     }
     
     $mail->From     = $admin->settings['notify_fromaddress'];
     $mail->FromName = $admin->settings['notify_fromname'];
     $mail->ContentType = "text/html"; //"text/plain"
     
     $mail->Subject = "Hello World!";
     global $sugar_config;
     
     $mail->Body = "Visit our <a href='".$sugar_config['site_url']."'>SugarCRM</a> instance!";
     $mail->AddAddress("recipient@email.com", "Recipient Name");
     if (!$mail->send()) {
       $GLOBALS['log']->info("Mailer error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo);
     } 
  

when i called this file like http://..../sugarcrm/mail.php
its giving me this error
Fatal error: Class 'DBManagerFactory' not found in D:\..\SugarBean.php on line 275
when i add this class than other errors coming..
so can anyone tell me how to solve this error and how many files i have to include to run my code ??

Consider adding these lines at the top of your script:

if(!defined('sugarEntry'))define('sugarEntry', true);
require_once('include/entryPoint.php');

Hi akkimca,

If you have created your own page mail.php did you modified "entry_point_registry.php" at
<root directory>\include\MVC\Controller\entry_point_regi stry.php

Just a small description if that might help:
I have created my_custom.php at root and added code in above file as,
'my_custom' => array('file' => 'my_custom.php', 'auth' => true),

Now when my_custom.php needs to be called, i have to pass "index.php?entryPoint=my_custom" so that my code gets executed within sugarcrm framework. In your case it will be firing mail.

Let me know if this worked for you.

Thanks.

PS : Make sure that mails are fired from Email Tab of sugarcrm which confirms that all settings required to fire a mail are set properly and then give a go for above procedure

Good point! this is excellent! now, suppose that my_custom have parameters.. do you pass them just including them in index.php call?

Yes for POST, I haven't tested for GET.

Hi Daniel,
Simple add them as part of the query string

 index.php?entryPoint=mycustom&param1=val1&param2=val2
