In Cake 1.3, the EmailComponent did what it should do. The new Cake Email class in 2.0 turned out to be a frustration....No emails sent, No errors....vague documentation...
I have tried all possible variants, tried it with my SMTP, Mail() and Gmail, nothing happens. Hereby my latest attempt:
Controller snippet:
//on top of page
App::uses('CakeEmail', 'Network/Email');
//in method
$email = new CakeEmail();
$email->template('contact_email')
->emailFormat('text')
->to('my@gmail.com')
->from('other@gmail.com')
->send();
Email.php Config file:
class EmailConfig {
//It also does not work with a constructor
public $gmail = array(
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 465,
'username' => 'my@gmail.com',
'password' => '***',
'transport' => 'Smtp'
);
Can someone please post WORKING code for the Email Class. Many thanks
