SID-01976: Example not workin,don't understand how SendMailPlugin works

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.2.3	Perl version:	5.12.2
Category:	SendMailPlugin	Server OS:	64bit Fedora	Last update:	10 years ago

After installing and enabling SendMailPlugin, I took a look at both examples delivered with and now placed in my Sandbox wiki. SendMailPluginDemo (vote one city and you, and webmaster, receive a confirmation e-mail) is working fine. But SendMailPluginRestDemo, more simple, easier to understand, more similar to what I need (a form, and receive the data in an e-mail), is not working. When you click the button, the topic is reloaded with all the fields empty, with no alert, no message, no "message sent" neither "could not send". Taking a look at the logs at this server (both twiki and apache) and also to the mail server that would send and receive the mail, nothing on all of them. What can I do? Is really the plugin working fine? Why the 2nd example doesn't work?

Discussion and Answer

I forgot explaining that my intention would be to create a form (using the useful FormPlugin, already installed and working) and sending the data via e-mail.

Not sure why the rest is not working, could be related to your old TWiki version.

I recommend creating a custom CommentPlugin template that has the mailer form as the input template, and the send mail as the output template.
