Email with Virtual device

[Guest ygh]

Hi,

I am using the v1.046 version and there is no email functionality.

I would like to define a virtual device with a button to send an email:

- format is fixed

- address is fixed

- content is fixed

- no attachment

-> very basic

I was thinking about an HTTP query or some CGI query - Any suggestion, please

If you have a hosting, why not use a script? This is how I do with my home server

Hi Krikroff,

I do have a hosting.

Can you detail how you can define & call the script from the HC2, please

Thanks

I would imagine that Kirkoff would suggest a form2mail.pl kind of solution? Which there are a lot of links for on google. Thats only if you are in a rush, otherwise .... lets see what Kirkoff's solution

[Guest ygh]

The objective is to send the mail through a button in a virtual device.

[Krikroff 199]

I use a simple web page written in C# (IHttpHandler class) that sends different type of messages and called with http requests like this:

-Defined notification that use prepared message and called by preset number reference:

or

-Custom notification with subject and message body

or

-Default notification

But your web server is most certainly in PHP, there are hundreds of php script "ready to use" ... you can easily find one of these script on the web.

Example: create Virtual device button with code :

If do not work, try

with IP and PORT in Main virtual device settings.

Good luck

Hi Krikroff,

Your support is always great and so accurate !

I will try to find some PHP script with your last example for a virtual device button.

Not sure to succeed as this is getting very technical, but I will try !

Thanks !

A very silly question: where should I put the file with the PHP code...

[Guest sztywniak]

to your hosting server

[Krikroff 199]

You need put this file to the root of your web server.

For example:

Done !

This will extend the v1.046 capabilities with basic email management.

I will do some testing this week-end.

Thanks to All !

IF you haven't hosting server then send me your @mail to PM
