    Paraphrased from class.activitymodel.php line 549:

    $Email = new Gdn_Email();
$Email->Subject('Your subject');
$Email->To('address@example.com', 'Name');
$Email->Message('Your Message');

try {
  $Email->Send();
  $Emailed = 2; // similar to http 200 OK
} catch (phpmailerException $pex) {
  if ($pex->getCode() == PHPMailer::STOP_CRITICAL)
    $Emailed = 4;
  else
    $Emailed = 5;
} catch (Exception $ex) {
  $Emailed = 4; // similar to http 5xx
}

    Then you can do something based on the value of $Emailed. 2 means a success in this case.

    What are you trying to do ? Just send mail ? from inside the dashboard or outside?
    Please explain more detail of what you need .

    @vrijvlinder There is a file in customepage plugin.

    file pathplugin/customepage/pages/email.php

    i want to send an email, when refresh the file

  • vrijvlindervrijvlinder MVP

    I have not seen that file , is it a custom page you made and added email.php?

    Will this be mail you send to people or mail people will send to you ?

  • ChanuxChanux ✭✭

    it is custome page made by me. as example..

    to > Sesion User

    From > Forum email

  • vrijvlindervrijvlinder MVP

    But you can send message to user no? PM plugin , or do you mean send email to user's email from inside the forum?

    I'm sorry I can't think of anyway to do this at the moment . You might be able to modify the Contact plugin or another plugin that send mail and incorporate it to the page.

    @hgtonight can i send cc or bcc email with this code ?

  • hgtonighthgtonight MVP

    Yes. Just use $Email->Cc('address@example.com', 'Their Name'); and $Email->Bcc('address@example.com', 'Their Name');. You can also pass an array of email addresses as the first argument.
