Hello, and thanks for the update on this plugin...
I am still unable to make this send me an email. I have set valid emails in the setup of this plugin, yet when i go to test it out it still returns error message saying, "Error while sending e-mail" in red.
Please help?
p.s. does this plugin need some other plugin to work?

hello
the plugin is standalone
did the previous version work ?
this error is thrown when PHP fails to use mail() function, typically when your server doesn't have a SMTP server
note : ContactForm uses core function pwg_send_mail() so if other mails of Piwigo work, the plugin should too

thanks for the quick reply; it did work after i first installed it maybe 1-2 months ago, but it quit after i changed the address somehow, hasn't worked since.
what do you mean "so if other mails of Piwigo work, the plugin should too"...what other mail of piwigo can i try out/see/set?
thanks

no. just tried it. went to subscribe | unsubscribe tab, wanted to move my email to subscribe, and got this message:
Error when sending email to ilyandor [******@******.com].
User ilyandor [******@******.com] not added to the subscription list.
1 mail has not been sent.
1 user not updated.

so you server is not configured correctly
1) did you set the smtp configuration in the Piwigo advanced settings ? if yes, check the config
2) is it a mutualized or a dedicated server ? if mutualized: contact your host asking them why you can't use the mail() function, if dedicated: check the configuration of th server( I can't help on this part)

if you don't know where it is, no matter, that's mean the problem is not here :)
yes it's shared, but i dont think that is the issue.
why ? did you ever use the mail fonction of PHP ?
facts are clear : Piwigo can't use the function, as it works everywhere else, it can only be the fault of the host

October 8th i tested it and got the email through OK. It was before i changed the email address to my other one, after which it stopped working.
If you want i can give you access so you can see for yourself...

oh I understood you changed the website address, it was your mail address ?
perhaps your host block this address (or the domain name) somehow, again you should ask them, there is no reasons Piwigo works with one mail and not with another
is the new email the one you use on Piwigo forums ?

what you said me : since you changed you email from **** to **** the mail() function of PHP always return an error
but first you should check your email in your Piwigo profile, I recently had issues (not in Piwigo) with a mail containing an end white space

no white space. just contacted my host, they said script can't use outside email handlers (gmail.com) but it didnt work with their host emails either so i submitted a ticket; will post here tomorrow.
thanks for your help.

resolved.
this is what they said:
my hosting wrote:
As far as we can see you use <*********@gmail.com> in From field for your contact form. Please note that email relaying is not permitted on any our servers. Please be advised to change contact email for your mail form.
So I went in and changed the contact form email to my host's email handler (******@ilyandor.com) and sent a test form...
IT WORKED!
thanks for all your kind help.
