Not receiving email when message sent
« on: July 14, 2020, 09:27:11 PM »
If a customer sends a message through my site, it is not being forwarded to the associated email address. I receive an email notification that a customer has sent a message, but I have to log in to my dashboard in order to read the message. In 1.2.15 I received both, and I have not changed any settings.

is this a bug or is there some new setting that I have to change? I did look, and did not find anything that looked like the right setting to change.

I am receiving other emails, such as notification when an order is placed, or when an item is out of stock. The only type I am not receiving (unless I've missed something) is the messages from customers. This is particularly bad as it makes it a multistep process to reply.

What email method do you use? Most likely, it is an issue with your mail service.

It's to an outlook address. I don't really think the problem has anything to do with my mail service, since I'm receiving all the other system emails that come from my Abantecart shop. It's only that one type of message, the one that contains the content of a message sent by a customer, that isn't getting sent to the outlook address. As I said, I'm receiving the sales notifications etc at that email. I'm even receiving the emailed notification that a customer sent a message, just not the message itself.

I do have the address set in the Notification settings.

Also, just to be clear, I'm talking about what Abantecart calls a customer "enquiry".

Are you talking about contact us form?
Can you provide source code of received email?
Provide screenshots of 'storefront_contact_us_mail' email template with language of your store.

Yes, it is the Contact Us form. When a customer sends a message through that form, in 1.2.15 I would receive two emails: one that was a notification telling me that a customer had sent an enquiry, and then a second that would be the text of the enquiry PLUS the email address of the person who sent it, to which I could reply. Since installing 1.2.16, I receive only the email telling me that a customer made an enquiry, but not the text of the enquiry or the customer email.

I am attaching an image of my Contact Us screen. And also a text file of an "Enquiry received" email.

Again, to be clear, Abantecart is capturing the enquiry made through the contact us form, and I can read them by going to my dashboard and then going to messages. The Contact Us form is collecting and storing the Enquiry, but it is not sending the content of those enquiries to my linked email address. But having the enquiries forwarded to my email makes answering them much easier, and a much less time consuming process also, and, to repeat, it did send them in 1.2.15.

Please read my previos message.
Check Abantecart logs on errors. I think it was upgrade bug, and you have not email template.
Check email_templates mysql table.

OK, Here is what I have in email template. Two screenshots, text file of html_body.txt.

There is an error that I keep getting over and over, which is this:

2020-07-11 6:03:19 - App Warning: AbanteCart core v.1.2.16 Warning: Accessing store with non-configured or unknown domain ( mail.theresamatherfantasyshop.com/dir/ ).
Check setting of your store domain URL in System Settings. Loading default store configuration for now. in /home/shortfor/public_html/TheresaMatherFantasyShop.com/dir/core/lib/config.php on line 228

Hope that gives you what you need to figure out the problem.

Can you for test change Mail server and email address for letters from site?
Your default store language English?

Yes, my default store language is English.

I have tried changing the email address and sending a test, that worked exactly the same way and did not forward the text of the message to my email.

I have no idea how to change the email server. There is nothing on any page in settings that asks for an email server, only my domain name & directory. I know how to set the notification email address in the drop down menu that says "Edit notification settings".  If there is some other place where I need to edit a setting I need you to tell me how to find it.

OK, I dug around a little more. It appears the one I am not getting is the template titled      storefront_contact_us_mail

It is set to on, as are all the other templates, and I am receiving emails from all the other when appropriate: new order placed, new customer registered, etc.

I am attaching the html.txt of what is in that template. But my guess is that whatever causes that template to send is not working correctly, and it does not send. As I mentioned at the beginning, I get the email that tells me a contact_us message has been made (storefront_contact_us_mail_admin_notify), but not the email that contains the text of the contact message (storefront_contact_us_mail).

Can you change php files?
Change
public_html/storefront/controller/pages/content/contact.php on line ~133
before
Code: [Select]
$mail->setTemplate('storefront_contact_us_mail', $this->data['mail_template_data']);add this code:
Code: [Select]
df($this->data['mail_template_data']);and try to send contact us form.

After that, you should see debug.txt in  public_html folder.
this file should contain email, enquirity and name from form.

Also check mailserver logs. It should have error on send messages.

I was able to edit the contact.php file as instructed, but it did not fix the problem. I still receive the notification of an enquiry, but not the content of that enquiry.

You have received new enquiry from customer (BARRY, svengali819@yahoo.com)!

This is the final entry in my error log:

2020-07-17 5:37:44 - App Warning: AbanteCart core v.1.2.16 Warning: Accessing store with non-configured or unknown domain ( mail.theresamatherfantasyshop.com/dir/ ).
Check setting of your store domain URL in System Settings. Loading default store configuration for now. in /home/shortfor/public_html/TheresaMatherFantasyShop.com/dir/core/lib/config.php on line 228


This is an excerpt from the edited contact.php file: (lines 124-137)


            $view = new AView($this->registry, 0);
            $view->batchAssign($this->data['mail_template_data']);
            $html_body = $view->fetch($this->data['mail_template']);
            $mail->setTo($this->config->get('store_main_email'));
            $mail->setFrom($this->config->get('store_main_email'));
            $mail->setReplyTo($post_data['email']);
            $mail->setSender($post_data['first_name']);
            df($this->data['mail_template_data']);
            $mail->setTemplate('storefront_contact_us_mail', $this->data['mail_template_data']);
            if (is_file(DIR_RESOURCE.$config_mail_logo)) {
                $mail->addAttachment(DIR_RESOURCE.$config_mail_logo,
                    md5(pathinfo($config_mail_logo, PATHINFO_FILENAME))
                    .'.'.pathinfo($config_mail_logo, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));



I have attached the full edited file.
