Geeklog Forums

I did not see anything where I should set up my email, I have searched around, and have found nothing. I have a smtp server, but my domain/site has no email, can I still get new users to get their passwords? Thanks, dam()

If you have an SMTP server running, that should be all you need. I'm pretty sure GeekLog uses PHP's mail() function, and php.ini lets you specify the sendmail (or whatever daemon you use) path, for PHP to call to. Assuming all that's set up, you should be able to send email FROM any address you want (geeklog@YourGeeklogSite.com, for example?) If your site hasn't been configured to RECEIVE email, that should not impact this. I hope this helps..If I misunderstood your question entirely, plz let me know.

It is very easy to change this... I had this problem as well. All you need to do is edit users.php to include rn instead of just n for the mail function. For example:

$mailtext = "{$LANG04[15]}rn";
$mailtext .= "{$LANG04[2]}: $usernamern";
$mailtext .= "{$LANG04[4]}: $passwdrn";
$mailtext .= "{$LANG04[14]}rn";
$mailtext .= "{$_CONF["site_name"]}rn";
$mailtext .= "{$_CONF['site_url']}rn";

It fixed it for me... and I am on a windows server with SMTP.

To clarify my question: I have a linux server, no email server. There is a smtp server available through my university, I do not want to receive email just send it. How can i configure php or gl to use the smtp server to send out email? Hope that clarifies some. thanks for the help! dam()

I think there is a place in php.ini where you can specify an SMTP server. Here is what I have in mine:

[mail function]
SMTP = localhost
sendmail_from = me@localhost.com

Not sure if this will work on a Linux server though.

Nope it will not, it is just a Win32 thing :--( which mean I have to hack away at sendmail. dam(DAMN)

A new user is told that his passeord has been sent. Howver, nothing is sent. Is there a file I can change for sendmail? Thanks, Michael
