So I signed up at mandrill, got the API key and inserted it into the plugin.. After editing the global config mail section I tried sending out a test mail, all I get is a white screen with nothing in it. Nothing is sent to my real emails. Before that, I tried sending directly without editing the global settings in joomla, and at least there I got an error on the white screen there saying it couldnt recognize the name etc. But here I have nothing that I can identify or work with. I tried checking for error logs, which of there seem to be none. I'm not sure exactly what my problem here is, I've edited even the php.ini file that my joomla uses to reflect the changes in the global config. I can't seem to get this to work.

I'm developing this on WAMPserver, and I'm hoping to get this working before I get my site to go live.

Getting a white screen while submitting means that there is a fatal error that is not being displayed. Set your php.ini settings to display all errors (also set this setting in the joomla global config). Once you do this instead of a white screen you should see the error message.

One thing that I cannot understand is - why do you edit the global config? What did you change there?

The plugin is written so that it will take the email out of the global config and send it through the mandril service. If for some reason we cannot send it through the mandrill service we will give the mail to the standard sending class in joomla and it will take care of it through smtp or whatever you have defined in the global configuration.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for helping me through with this. I turned off the error reporting in PHP before and I forgot to enable it again. I couldn't believe that i forgot to do something so simple. Well I am still a beginner with PHP though.

It turns out that the problem was that my Curl extension wasn't loading properly which is why the mailer was not working correctly. As I was using a 64-bit system with WAMPserver, it turns out that I had to be using a modified Curl file, which is located at http://www.anindya.com/ under the heading "fixed curl extensions". My normal WAMPserver was not working properly even with the extension turned on and all settings correct with the regular file, hence the problems (for whatever reason that may be).

The plugin works beautifully and I'll make sure to vote it up on Joomla extensions. Cheers! :cheer:

Awesome! Thanks in advance for the review in the JED :)

And maybe this: http://dothewebinar.com would be a good thing to sharpen your php skills and get into joomla extension development :P

Cheers,
Daniel
