Rishabh

$emailTemplate = Mage::getModel(‘core/email_template’)->loadDefault(‘send_to_requests_template’);
$emailTemplate->setSenderName(“Some Name”);
$emailTemplate->setSenderEmail(“some@mail.com”);
$emailTemplate->setTemplateSubject($this_>__(“Some Subject!”));
$emailTemplateVariables = array();
$emailTemplateVariables['zip'] = “….”;
$emailTemplate->send($request['email'], “Mike Old”, $emailTemplateVariables);

but mail are never been delivered. I have checked the spam folder, nothing, I have checked the smtp settings from magento, nothing…. I’m doing smthg wrong?
thx

<custom_email_template1 module="SampleModule1">

to this:

<custom_email_template1>

This solved the issue for me.

Thanks for the great article though, it works great, but this is the problem now.

<global>
    <template>
        <email>
            <Optimise_Requestcallback module="optimise_requestcallback">
                <label>Optimise RequestCallback</label>
                <file>optimise_requestcallback.html</file>
                <type>html</type>
            </Optimise_Requestcallback>
        </email>
    </template>
</global>

Just wondering if anyone else has had that problem?

I think it could be down to my xml. I’m not sure what I have in the module=”" is correct. My module is in Local > Optimise > Requestcallback

<global>
    <template>
        <email>
            <optimise_orderform module="Orderform">
                <label>Optimise Orderform</label>
                <file>optimise_orderform.html</file>
                <type>html</type>
            </optimise_orderform>
        </email>
    </template>
</global>

Iv’e tried to delete the “activecodeline_custom_email1.html” file from “/app/locale/en_US/template/email” and clean the cache but it didn’t fixed the problem.

How can I fix this?

Buy the way – I’m using Magento ver. 1.4.0.1

[18-Aug-2011 07:14:01] PHP Fatal error: Class ‘Mage_SampleModule1_Helper_Data’ not found in /home/public_html/app/Mage.php on line 523

Any help would be appreciated. I’ve literally copied the code as is, no customization what so ever, just to check this solution works. I can provide code if need be.

To point out, I’ve placed this within my own controller – e.g. email/enquiry/hello

- Go to System> Transactional Emails
- Click your template to Edit
- delete your static Email subject and replace with
{{var data.subject}}

Here, You should have field with name “subject”

Thank you

execute “rm -fr var/cache/*”

I worked 2 days in this problem! =/

ps. Im sorry by my English.
