"Unable to email password, please contact system administrator"

[Bonkie]

When i reset a userpassword or try to make a new user from the frontend it refuses to send me the password.
when i try a reset it says: "Unable to email password, please contact system administrator"

i am using 2.6.3 when i search the forum i can only find the problem in 2.6.2 with the -f option in the code of wb but that has been already removed in 2.6.3 anyone has the same problem and can help me?

a link to my php info is here:

mailserveis is definetley running....

i tryed tried to run this script

$toaddress = "***";
$subject = "testjuh";
$message = "dsfdfdsfdsfds fgdsfg dfgdsfg dsfg s";
$charset='utf-8';

      $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
      $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=".$charset."\n";
      $headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n";
      $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\n";
      $headers .= "X-Mailer: websitebaker\n";
      $headers .= "From: ".$fromaddress."\n";
      $headers .= "Return-Path: ".$fromaddress."\n";
      $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$fromaddress."\n";
      $headers .= "\n"; // extra empty line needed??

mail($toaddress, $subject, $message, $headers)

and this works so it must be another problem

So can you play with class.wb.php function mail to find out what causes the problem?
Maybe it has to do with the \r\n stuff (which is for line ending conversion).

[Bonkie]

ok i will try that

i thought there may be a know solution but when i find it i will post it here


edit1:
well.... i was experimenting with the php function errorreporting on ALL and notiched this error:

Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /home/httpd/vhosts/dronkendropje.nl/httpdocs/wb/framework/class.frontend.php on line 315

I dont think this is it.... but maybe it is another bug?

edit2:
ok my bad... it is the template i use

edit3:

i traced my error (noted in the fist post) back to this line:

Code:

$fromaddress = preg_replace('/[\r\n]/', '', $fromaddress);

this is the modification i made to make it work:

Code:

function mail($fromaddress, $toaddress, $subject, $message) {
//$fromaddress = preg_replace('/[\r\n]/', '', $fromaddress);
$toaddress = preg_replace('/[\r\n]/', '', $toaddress);
$subject = preg_replace('/[\r\n]/', '', $subject);
$fromaddress = "tom@dronkendropje.nl";
if ($fromaddress=='') {
$fromaddress = SERVER_EMAIL;
}
if(defined('DEFAULT_CHARSET')) {
$charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET;
} else {
$charset='utf-8';
}
$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=".$charset."\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: websitebaker\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$fromaddress."\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: ".$fromaddress."\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$fromaddress."\n";
$headers .= "\n"; // extra empty line needed??
if (OPERATING_SYSTEM=='windows') {
str_replace("\n","\r\n",$headers);
str_replace("\n","\r\n",$message);
}
if(mail($toaddress, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

now i want to know where it gets the "$fromaddress" from

edit4:

i notiched an error in the dutch translation
http://addons.websitebaker.org/media/download_gallery/NL.txt

on line 422 i belive

$$MESSAGE['START']['WELCOME_MESSAGE'] = 'Welkom bij het website-beheer';

shout be (note the beginning)

$MESSAGE['START']['WELCOME_MESSAGE'] = 'Welkom bij het website-beheer';

[Bonkie]

OK new post...
al the editting does not help clear things up

in my last post i mentioned the "$fromaddress".

i fount ou that it is a setting it needs to call SERVER_EMAIL from the database.. but i cant seem to be able to find the file where it defines this mith the value in the database...

something like this:
define('SERVER_EMAIL',

where can i find this??? (in witch file or what function is used??)

[Bonkie]

ok found out that
   // Get website settings (title, keywords, description, header, and footer)
   $query_settings = "SELECT name,value FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."settings";
   $get_settings = $database->query($query_settings);
   if($database->is_error()) { die($database->get_error()); }
   if($get_settings->numRows() == 0) { die("Settings not found"); }
   while($setting = $get_settings->fetchRow()) {
      $setting_name=strtoupper($setting['name']);
      $setting_value=$setting['value'];
      if ($setting_value=='false')
         $setting_value=false;
      if ($setting_value=='true')
         $setting_value=true;
      define($setting_name,$setting_value);
   }

is defining the settings but now i want to find out why SERVER_EMAIL is not working

[Bonkie]

OK i figured it all out now....
this bit of code in account/forgot_form.php produced the problem

Code:

if($wb->mail('From: '.SERVER_EMAIL,$mail_to,$mail_subject,$mail_message)) {
$message = $MESSAGE['FORGOT_PASS']['PASSWORD_RESET'];
$display_form = false;
} else {
$database->query("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."users SET password = '".$old_pass."' WHERE user_id = '".$results_array['user_id']."'");
$message = $MESSAGE['FORGOT_PASS']['CANNOT_EMAIL'];
}

if removed the 'From: '. bit on line 92 like this

Code:

if($wb->mail(SERVER_EMAIL,$mail_to,$mail_subject,$mail_message)) {

now it is working correctley

PROBLEM SOLVED 

By the way.

you also have to change line 129 in signup2.php else the user won't get the first mail when he makes an account
