SMTP options

[kamaldua]

I am trying to make email work using sendgrid api but it does not work. FormaLMS shows email sent but nothing happens.
What are these options used for in config file:
$cfg['use_smtp_database'] = 'on';
$cfg['use_smtp'] = 'on';
$cfg['smtp_debug']
how setting $cfg['smtp_debug'] to say 3 can help debug? what does $cfg['use_smtp_database'] do?

When $cfg['use_smtp_database'] is 'on', credentials and connection parameters are stored in the DB, and you can set them in the backend (configuration).

There is problem with lib.mailer.php
SMTP values are not getting passed in SmtpAdm::getInstance()->

If I hardcode SMTP values in lib.mailer.php it works fine.
Where can we report bugs?

There is no public bug tracker.
You can post here your solution (if you have one).

following is solution:
I am not sure why original code is not working though looks ok:
File: /appCore/models/SmtpAdm.php
Original ( does not work):

Code: Select all

    public static function isEnabledDatabase()
    {
        $smtpConfigIsEnabled = Get::cfg('use_smtp_database');

        switch ($smtpConfigIsEnabled) {
            case 'on':
            case 'true':
            case true:
                return true;
                break;
            default:
                return false;
                break;

        }
    }

This works:

Code: Select all

    public static function isEnabledDatabase()
    {
        $smtpConfigIsEnabled = Get::cfg('use_smtp_database');

        switch ($smtpConfigIsEnabled) {
            case 'off':
		return false;
                break;
			case 'on':
            case 'true':
            case true:
                return true;
                break;
            default:
                return false;
                break;

        }
    }

what die(var_dump($smtpConfigIsEnabled)) would return in the non working case?
