Guest vrakas Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I managed to upgrade the CC3.05 to 3.06 and re-done some mods i needed that had been changed. Prior to upgrading the "Tell a Friend" was working now it does not work Any suggestions? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 FYI: I've done a fresh install of V6 and it does send mail using Tell a friend! Hope you get it working! My advice is you guys & gals with live sites is Restore your sites to a test site etc...! Then try upgrades before you make changes to your live site! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key word is "fresh installation" mine is an upgrade, minor diference Thanks for your advise but we do always make backups and we do test on one of our sites prior to any of our clients. Thanks for your concern. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your concern. My concern was pointing out not just to yourself but everyone not to follow your apparent lead in upgrading before testing! And for info that a fresh install works so that almost anyone reading between the lines could work out that this possibly meant a problem with upgrading! Sorry I dented your ego. Amazing! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vrakas Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 @Jabba not to follow your apparent lead in upgrading before testing! I suggest you read more threads prior to posting suggestions on what people should and should not do or have and have not done. almost anyone reading between the lines could work out that this possibly meant a problem with upgrading! If there is such a matter then other posters usually post that they also have the same problem. This is your second reply to this thread that i have not seen any usefull information on what could solve this specific problem and i beleive my question was very clear If you have any suggestion on how to correct the problem please feel free to post it here. If you just wish to be even more personal and analyze my dented ego etc you can PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brookbanks Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 The code for tell a friend hasn't changed as far as I know. :-/ Do all other email functionalities work? It could be so many things. - Typo on the recipient email address. - Delay in mail server. - Not taken backup properly... (That one was a joke) The demo store works and that was an upgrade from 3.0.5 - 3.0.6. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vrakas Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Thanks brooky for your reply, i have even added a contact us form later and it works fine. Delay, i dont think its that as i done it since yesterday. Typo mistake, i tryed many times I will PM the URL of the store so you can see and test if you wish. As with all my clients, this one also has been registered If any other suggestions to solve this, they are welcome, please no comments PS: When i send to my local email (where the domain is hosted - .com.cy) [email protected] it arrives but not to the ordinary [email protected] ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sunshine Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hi Vrakas, Have you checked the includes/content/telleafriend? Also check classes/mimepart as well as classes/htmlmimemail. I tried mine yesterday and it worked but I'm have a problem with the FKEditor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vrakas Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Thanks sunshine i will give it a try ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brookbanks Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hi Vrakas, Sorry I've not got back to you sooner. As you can imagine with these server issues I've been under stress. I never got an email either when I tried the URL you sent me. What is so difficult with this is that every email the site sends is sent using the same htmlmimemail class in th class directory. Try debugging the code to make sure it has all the correct info. echo $_POST['fromEmail']; exit; etc. So firstly we can make sure all the variables are there.

Guest vrakas Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Thanks brooky for your reply, its the result that counts I will try this and let you know PS: what happens if i replace the includes/content/telleafriend, classes/mimepart as well as classes/htmlmimemail with ones from the original 3.06 folder? Is something writen to them when the CC is originally setup or upgraded? */* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vrakas Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 All sorted out thanks to Convict Thanks all for your help :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idara Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi vrakas It would be nice, if u "Tell ur friends" wat was the problem with "Tell a friend" Thanks Yunus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vrakas Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I would also like to explain what the problem was but it was convict that found and fixed it I gave him full access to the site's FTP and he messed around in there and done it I only know it had something to do with PHP version installed on the hosting server ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convict Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 OK That was a sendmail issue - unaccepted -f switch used in htmlMimeMail.php class. But PHP return code of mail command have always been about as if mail has been sent LOL. Seems to be some hosting companies have used the Mail-Send perl module to open a connection with sendmail. Fortunately there is a header/config equivalent to this -f flag and i have used it. :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Brookbanks Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I coded CubeCart to only use -f if Safe Mode is off. Wasn't aware of this possible issue. BUT I expect it will be a rare issue. We know now. Well done folks. :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
