"Could not send a message to ," on checkout

[allamistakeo19]

Hi,

Whenever I check out a product, I get the following warning message:

Notice
You must provide at least one recipient email address.
Could not send a message to ,

As an admin, I then do receive an email in which the name of the shopper is also missing.

It all looks like VirtueMart fails to retrieve the name and email address of the shopper. How can I fix this?

Things I have already checked/attempted:

• Checked that exactly one of the shoppers is marked as a vendor by temporarily enabling the multi-vendor mode
• In PHPMyAdmin, I noticed that the table virtuemart_vendor_users was empty, so I manually adding an entry for my selected vendor
• In the backend, in the list of shoppers, all shoppers have an email address
• I have a vendor contact form, and it successfully sends emails
• Only registered users can checkout, and I am logged in as a registered user

What could I be missing?

This is VirtueMart 3.0.6.2 running on Joomla! 3.4.1.

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

what does the vm admin->shop->shop->shopper info tab say for email?

[allamistakeo19]

In the backend, when I log in as an admin user and go to vm admin -> shop -> shop -> shopper info, in the section "Additional information" I can see the email address of the logged in admin user.

In the frontend, when I log in as a lambda user and I display my shopping cart, the "email" field correctly displays the shopper's email address.

I think the message

Notice
You must provide at least one recipient email address.
Could not send a message to ,

is coming from the core joomla php mailer so u need to troubleshoot why the email address isn't reaching it

start perhaps in the vm helpers/shopfunctionsF.php where all the email stuff for VM is handled

or try an update to the latest 3.0.9 with all the normal warnings

It took a few hours of debugging, but I found the problem. From my point of view, it's a bug in VirtueMart.

Basically, you will systematically get the warning if the emailaddress shopper field is not configured to be shown in the cart form.

This is confusing, because when I configure it to be shown, it automatically inherits its value from the user's email address, so I would expect that the user's email address will be used, even if the field is not shown; but this is not the case. You HAVE to show the field in the cart form, otherwise VirtueMart will not set any email address for the order, and will display the warning message.
