Unknown Mailer Issues (mailer help required again)

[subsorama]

Hello all,

I'm in the process of updating a site from 0.6.x to 0.8.x and  
everything so far has gone smoothly enough, however over time the  
mailer extension has changed considerably and I cannot for the life of  
me see what is going wrong where. The old v.1 just worked for me out  
of the box.

As far as I am aware I have followed the available instructions and  
have tried several of the branches without success.

I am seeing behaviour that is reported elsewhere, redirecting to "/
pages/1/mail#mailer", I am not receiving any emails.

All that is in the production log is:
Parameters: {"action"=>"create", "page_id"=>"1", "mailer"=>
{"name"=>"*****", "email"=>"****@***.com"}, "controller"=>"mail"}

environment.rb:

     ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
       :address => "mail.****.co.uk",
       :domain => "****.co.uk",
       :user_name => "***",
       :password => "****",
       :authentication => :login
     }

Adding "Radiant::Config['mailer.post_to_page?'] = true" seems to have  
no effect.

I don't know where to go from here as there is nothing in the  
production log that helps.

Are there any known issues with mailer to look out for? Is there a  
simple way to bypass smtp to force a delivery for testing?

Any help??

Cheers,

Dominic

I've tried creating a new rails project (2.3.4) from scratch and can  
send smtp email from that using the action_mailer_optional_tls plugin.  
I  see the helo transaction in the production.log and also receive the  
emails.

I am still a bit clueless as to where I am going wrong with radiant  
mailer extension though.

I have tried adding the plugin to the unpacked vendor/radiant/vendor/
plugins directory and the vendor/plugins dir. Neither seems to work.

Where exactly are the actionmailer settings supposed to go? In the  
environment.rb Initializer block or config.after_initialize? or in  
production.rb?

I've also had a look in the mail_controller.rb and altered the if mail  
send block and edited it to show something like

     if mail.send
        redirect_to (config[:redirect_to] || "#{@page.url}#mail_sent")
     else
        render :text => 'FAIL'
     end

Which indicates it is not working correctly.

This is my mailer:

subject: Newsletter
from_field: website@****.co.uk
redirect_to: /contact/thank-you
recipients:
   - dom@****.co.uk

These are my working actionmailer settings for the rails project  
(which don't seem do anything in radiant):

ActionMailer::Base.perform_deliveries = true
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:tls => true,
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => "587",
:domain => "whitespace-brand",
:authentication => :plain,
:user_name => "dom@****.co.uk",
:password => "****"
}


As I still can't see any errors, does anyone know what might be  
failing and where? Or have any suggestions as to common errors I can  
look in to?

Thanks,

Dominic

Just replying to myself once more incase the information it is helpful  
to anyone else.

I think it was a result of a bad upgrade from .6.x to .8.x, I've just  
tested a new instance with similar extensions and it worked straight  
away (and wish I'd done that before writing a rails app to test that!).

I think I'll have to manually migrate the data over, but at least the  
guts seem to be working.
