• TF Forum

I cannot get TF Forum to send emails regarding posts/replies. I have TF Mail installed and can send newsletters successfully.

I configured TF Forum to send emails, but all I ever get is the Administrator notification of posts - the users don't get anything.

 Can you help?

Thanks!

Hello

I am not able to reproduce this this at my end. Please share Joomla admin credentials at mail@joomlafry.com

Thank you

I'm not sure about sharing administrative credentials - I hope you understand. With debug and logging turned on, this is what I get when I reply to a post.

Warning: Undefined property: stdClass::$text in plugins/content/pdf_embed/pdf_embed.php on line 57

Hello

These warning are related to other content plugins qf3 and pdf_embed which are not related to TF Forum. You can disable displaying warnings from Global Configuration > Server > Error Reporting to System Default.

For sending emails, please check component configuration under Notification tab. IDs of email or newsletters should be entered. These will be added to the queue when new topic or new reply is added.

Thank you for your response. I'm feeling dense, though. I have TF Forums Notifications set to send for new topics and new replies. I do not, though, understand what ID I am supposed to put in.

First you have to create a newsletter (Other type) in TF Main that will be used to send notifications for TF Forum.

Then, you can get the ID of the newsletter created. Enter this ID in the component options for TF Forum. maybe you need to create two different newsletters, each one for new topic and new reply. 

I'm afraid that, while emails do get send out now, they are blank. The content from posts to TF Form is not included in the emails that go out, 

Hello

You can add the content of the email in the newsletter while editing it.

Currently, including content of new topic and replies cannot be included in these emails. We are working this feature. It will releaed soon.

Thank you

Somewhere on your site it says that  TF Forum can send notices of new topics and replies to users - which requires TF Mail. So this is not true? Why would I want to go to the effort of copying every user post or reply into a newsletter in order to notify users? Color me disappointed.

Hello

Please update the component. In the newsletter, insert short code {POST}

It will be replaced by the content of the user post or reply.
