Using Mailer to send email

[Christian Varas]

Hi, how can I use Mailer to send emails from the controller ?

I tried something like this:

from py4web.utils.mailer import Mailer

def some_func():

    Mailer.send('xxx@ mail.com','Hola', 'hjhohoho')
return


ERROR:root:Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/chris/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/develop/py4web/py4web/core.py", line 935, in wrapper
    ret = func(*func_args, **func_kwargs)
  File "/Users/chris/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/develop/py4web/py4web/core.py", line 920, in wrapper
    raise context["exception"]
  File "/Users/chris/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/develop/py4web/py4web/core.py", line 899, in wrapper
    context["output"] = func(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/Users/chris/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/develop/py4web/apps/climbersoul/administracion.py", line 114, in contacto_admin
    Mailer.send('x...@mail.com','Hola', 'hjhohoho')
  File "/Users/chris/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/develop/py4web/py4web/utils/mailer.py", line 372, in send
    sender = sender or self.settings.sender
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'settings'

How could I pass the settings to Mailer?

Cheers.

Chris.

I have the following in common.py.  (I think it comes if you create your app from _scaffold)

#  configure email
if settings.SMTP_SERVER:
    auth.sender = Mailer(
        server=settings.SMTP_SERVER,
        sender=settings.SMTP_SENDER,
        login=settings.SMTP_LOGIN,
        tls=settings.SMTP_TLS,
        ssl=settings.SMTP_SSL,
    )

Then, in my controller I use auth.sender.send() - something like this

#

#  I like to use templates to build html formatted email bodies - the render function allows you to use the py4web templating system to craft your emails - 

#

body = render(
    filename=os.path.join(TEMPLATE_FOLDER, "email/default.html"),
    context=dict(
        template_folder=TEMPLATE_FOLDER,
        message=XML(message),
    ),
    delimiters="[[ ]]",
)

auth.sender.send(
    to=['list', 'of', 'email', 'addresses'],
    subject='This is my email subject',
    body=body,
    sender="sen...@mydomain.com",
)

thanks Jim, 

it seems "message" has been exchanged through "body". Now it works with the labels (which I had not used before).
