Simple Invoices - Forum

Hi Justin,
Was wondering how difficult it would be to have emailed invoices go out with a return receipt request as a way of verifying that a customer actually got the invoice. I used to do that with thunderbird, but it's so much easier to email it from inside simpleinvoices.

cheers!

Hey Cliff,

ive no idea about that one

you might want to google for php email read receipt

not sure if php can do it

note: we use phpmailer to handle the email

let me know if you find anything

Cheers

Justin,
It works! I merely edited /modules/include/mail/class.phpmailer.php with what seemed like the correct values. note that sending emails worked fine before i did all the edits. i first just changed line 134 ( var $ConfirmReadingTo = "[email protected]"; ) but that didn't seem to work, but i was testing it with a gmail account. i then read somewhere that phpmailer return receipt does not work with gmail, yahoo mail, etc. so i went back into class.phpmailer.php and changed other relevant info, namely

line 61 to var $From = "[email protected]";
line 67 to var $FromName = "Cliff Pankonien";
line 74 to var $Sender = "[email protected]";
line 134 to var $ConfirmReadingTo = "[email protected]";
line 156 to var $Host = "mail.ccpip.com";
line 174 to var $SMTPAuth = true;
line 180 to var $Username = "my email username";
line 186 to var $Password = "my email password";

so not sure if all that is necessary but it works! woohoo!

This has been implemented in the current SVN - commit 1170.
It can be set as a boolean variable [b]$email_ack[/b] in the [b]config/config.php[/b] without having to hack the PHPMailer class. It has been set to send the confirm receipt to the sender's email id if [b]true[/b].

Thanks for the feature request.
