VM Version: 3.0.14
Joomla: Joomla! 3.5.1 Stable [ Unicorn ] 05-April-2016 22:45 GMT

No VM emails get sent

All other joomla mail works fine

also noticed that email customs button in products does not work

also noticed another issue that when customer adds product to cart it wont add for the first time and then its fine.

Any help advise grateful

can someone tell me can I overwrite VM files with older version until issues fixed safely?

[jenkinhill]

You updated to Joomla 3.5.1 on a live site without testing?  See http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=133760.0

[kden]

I haven't ever managed to find a fix to my original problem, would updating my joomla to 3.5 make a difference and fix the issue?

[2cool]

This is not simular to my problem.
All works fine exect the registration email to admin.

@Jenkin; Culd you explain this: 'ISTR that following a lot of compaints/requests the automatic registration email to Vendors was removed.'

Still not fixed this issue.
Tried clean install joomla + vm with same trouble.

What is different in the process of email orders, ask a question or vm registration to admin??

Regards,

pas

Joomla 3.5.1
Virtuemart 3.0.14
Community Builder 2.014

I just started having 3 issues after the last Joomla update. The first problem is the same as yours

Problem 1
I was not receiving email conformations when orders were placed.

SOLUTION:
Spam Assassin blocked my sending address. Whitelisting the send address resolved this problem and I am receiving emails again.

Problem 2
Charge Card payments no longer return users to a valid page upon completion of the charge. I am using Elavon as my payment processor. Paypal payments resolve correctly.

Unresolved

Problem 3
Product questions sent from my website fail when users are logged in. If users are not logged in - the question request processes normally. I also run Community Builder

Unresolved

[2cool]

Lots of people have email issues with virtuemart.
My only issue is the virtuemart registration mail to administrator...
Users do recieve an email after registratin.
And all other emails work fine.

I can't figure out what the difference is for sending this admin email !

Thanks,

Pas

Imiksch: You seem to have solved the problem I originally posted this thread about for you. I am not using spam assassin or any sort of spam blocker beyond what godaddys email provider does. Does anybody have any suggestions for whitelisting an email for that? Godaddy and my website host swear everything is right on their end but I only don't get that email to confirm an order to the vendor, all other emails work fine, and I haven't found any issues in the coding.

GoDaddy? Check your error logs to see if there is a PHP resource issue or any other error. Also do you get a vendor email when changing the order status?

[kden]

Jenkinhill:
There is nothing concerning in the logs that I can see. The vm logs only have an error about a png, which tcpdf doesn't like, and the joomla logs show errors of people trying to login and fail. (hackers) Sidenote: makes me want to look into better ways to prevent that.

We get the vendor emails when I change the order status. The backend gives the error "Could not instantiate mail function." But I still receive it. I also got an error for the customer saying it could not send to me/my email on a test order, but I got the email anyways so I am assuming the customer is getting the emails.

I did just get off support AGAIN with my hosting provider (web hosting hub) to double check that php mail was functioning properly. She claimed there was a missing line in the php.ini which she added, " sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -I " so maybe that will fix it but I was getting emails, just not a confirmed order email. Godaddy is our email host and says nothing is throwing errors or bouncing.

I am still stumped about what is going wrong and where to cause the vendor emails to stop sending with the vm update.

[jenkinhill]

The vm logs only have an error about a png, which tcpdf doesn't like

Is enough to stop the mail function. I guess it is a store logo, so replace with a jpg file.

[kden]

That is interesting to know, thanks for pointing that out. I always assumed since it said underneath the upload area that a png was accepted it was fine. I will change that to a jpg and see if it indeed helps with sending those emails.

[jenkinhill]

For most functions png files are OK, but this is about tcpdf used to generate the invoice,

@2cool..

while doing something else I came across this function in

administrator\components\com_virtuemart\models\user.php

maybe u can see if it is still used and debug why your not getting the admin one -- vm3.0.16

check ->  $vars['doVendor']= (boolean)$usersConfig->get('mail_to_admin');

Code Select Expand

/**
* This uses the shopFunctionsF::renderAndSendVmMail function, which uses a controller and task to render the content
* and sents it then.

*/
private function sendRegistrationEmail($user, $password, $doUserActivation){
if(!class_exists('shopFunctionsF')) require(VMPATH_SITE.DS.'helpers'.DS.'shopfunctionsf.php');
$vars = array('user' => $user);

// Send registration confirmation mail
$password = preg_replace('/[\x00-\x1F\x7F]/', '', $password); //Disallow control chars in the email
$vars['password'] = $password;

if ($doUserActivation) {
jimport('joomla.user.helper');
$activationLink = 'index.php?option=com_users&task=registration.activate&token='.$user->get('activation');

$vars['activationLink'] = $activationLink;
}

$usersConfig = JComponentHelper::getParams( 'com_users' );
$vars['doVendor']= (boolean)$usersConfig->get('mail_to_admin');
// public function renderMail ($viewName, $recipient, $vars=array(),$controllerName = null)
shopFunctionsF::renderMail('user', $user->get('email'), $vars);

}
