    I want to send eMails for an event. I choose “eMail to all EME registered persons”. But I only get an error “problems with sending emails”. When I choose “eMail to all WP users” it works fine. I am using WP Mail. Any ideas?

    Do you have queuing activated?
    If not, it should give you a list of persons to which the mail has not been sent.
    Also: do any of your EME-registered persons have the massmail-option selected? If none have that selected, mailing will fail too.

    Hi Franky,
    it makes no difference if queuing is on or not. I don’t get any hint…
    Yes – all my persons have massmail activated.
    I am in a test setup with only three persons. So this should not be a big problem…

    Ok, I figured it out. Problem is due to undefined variables. You’re trying to send a mail to all EME people in the “event” tab for mailings (and I was checking in the “generic” tab).
    Now this is fixed in the current dev-version. You can download and test it here:

    Or to make it easier: I just released the latest version (2.0.15)

    Hi Franky,
    you are my hero – now it works fine.
    I have one final question, then I will be the happiest man on earth! I want to have a hint to an event in my generic email. I wrote:
    “A new event is posted: #_EVENTFIELD{27}”. But the event is not shown in the mail. 27 is the event ID which I found in the event list in the ID column. What do I do wrong?

    #_EVENT-related placeholders only apply in event-related mails (like the tab-titles imply).
    So if you want to send a mail concerning an event to all people, go to “event related mails”, select the event of your choice and send the mail.
    Also #_EVENTFIELD is to show database-named column info for an event, not an id. There you should just use #_EVENTNAME or so, see the doc concerning event placeholders.

    Hi Franky,
    thanks for this information. My idea was to send a reminder for a special event to only to a group of persons to a predefined time (which allows only the generic mail). I think for my application I need a mixture of both mail areas. Sending an email to a predefined time for a special event to only a group of persons…
    Best regards and a happy new year!

    Hi Franky,
    since the last update it is no more possible to send scheduled mails from the generic tab. When I click to the row “date” the calendar does not open (but it does in the event tab).
    By the way: it would be great if you coul add a function that allows to send emails to a group of persons in the event tab (like the function in the generic tab). Tanks a lot.

    Hi, I noticed that bug too and fixed it yesterday in the dev version. I’ll release this weekend.
    And you’re right with your suggestion concerning groups and event mails, but you can use event shortcodes (not placeholders) on the generic mail tab too (I fixed the remark at the bottom concerning “people placeholders” in the dev version too).

    Btw, the next version will allow event mails to specific eme people and/or groups too.

    Hi
    I would like to send an email alert to all members when we add a cycling event.
    I have tried the following in the default WP theme Twenty Seventeen functions.php

    add_action(’eme_insert_event_action’,’eme_mail_event’);
    function eme_mail_event ($event) {
    $contact = eme_get_contact ($event);
    $contact_email = $contact->user_email;
    $contact_name = $contact->display_name;
    $subject_format=”This is the new event called ‘ #_EVENTNAME ‘”;
    $body_format=”This is the new event called ‘ #_EVENTNAME ‘”;

    $subject=eme_replace_placeholders($subject_format, $event, “text”);
    $body=eme_replace_placeholders($body_format, $event, “text”);
    $blogusers = get_users();
    foreach ( $blogusers as $user ) {
    eme_send_mail($subject,$body, $user->email, $user->display_name, $contact_email, $contact_name);
    }
    }
    But when I create a new event I do not get an email.
    I have verified mail does work on the plugin and WP.

    What have I missed? Is this related to the bug you found?
    Im on version 2.0.18 also will it work with front end submit?
    Thanks

    This is unrelated.
    $user->email should be $user->user_email
    I updated the example on the site too.
