I have this same problem. I changed line 6 of zenphoto_sendmail.php and clicked Apply on the plugins page. I still get the following error message when posting a comment.
Error posting comment:
* There is no mail handler configured
I tried disabling zenphoto_sendmail and then re-enabling it, and I still have the same error message.
well, certainly if you delete that line the plugin will never show up enabled! Leave the line in, then disable/enable the plugin. If it still does not work then you are not running the support updates. (Since you somehow did not mention your Zenphoto version as is required by our forum rules!)
I never said that I deleted the line; I changed the line.
As stated in the second post in this thread, I changed line 6 to read
$plugin_is_filter = 5|CLASS_PLUGIN;
Sorry forgot the version: 1.4 [6454] (Official Build)
I don't know what you mean by "running support updates". Is there some feature for automatic updates?
ZenPhoto was installed via AppsUniverse provided by the host.
The process to manually upgrade seems a bit of a pain for a minor release. I tried to check the changelog (clicked on the link on the download page) to see why I might want to upgrade, but the page is blank.
$plugin_is_filter = 5|CLASS_PLUGIN; is how the line should look.
You need also to enter an email address on the main options to be able to send mails. It might be that mailing does not work on your server or the mail address is not right. Maybe also ask your host.
Current version is 1.4.0.4 and we state clearly in several places (like the forum rules) that we can't support installation helper scripts.
The upgrading is actually really easy. Thanks for the note of the changelog link on the download page. That links has a slash too much at the end (it would not have been that hard to find that category on the news section's sidebar though....)
The easiest solution would be for you to load the current version of the release--1.4.0.4--as this problem has long been fixed in these updates. But also you can just re-apply on the plugins tab after you have made that change. The original post also directed you to do that.
I understand that helper scripts are not supported. I only gave that for info. I thought there might be an update script. It sounded that way when you said, "not running the support updates".
You come across as frustrated and rude when talking to users. But I am getting frustrated and angry because you seem to feel that you are superior. You accuse me of not reading the forum rules, but you can't even be bothered to read my post properly.
I ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT I CLICKED APPLY ON THE PLUGIN PAGE. That is the second time you have told me to do something that I already clearly stated in my first post.
I'm telling you that the fix stated in the second post of this thread did not work for me.
If I am reading between the lines correctly, you are saying, "We don't care. There is a new release. Use that and don't expect any help from us in applying your own fix."
Maybe you don't say that outright because you are not trying to be rude, but it's not working. I'm beginning to regret choosing this script.
Sorry if this sounded rude to you. You know written text comes often a little different than meant. We are really a small team of volunteers and we can only support the current release due to lack of resources. This is stated on several places on our site and the forum rules.
Above you tell you use 1.4 which is clearly not the current. You did not tell if you tried that yet. There is no upgrade script, but how to upgrade is explained on our site. It is really not that hard.
We don't support these helper scripts because we don't know what they do and we had often issues reported that were directly related to them doing something wrong . So we actualy don't care for these, right, and are a little tired to explain this all over again (exception might be SimpleScripts now as these guys had contacted us a while ago to improve their script - We don't know if they managed it though yet).
Of course we care for our users and want Zenphoto to work for all but servers are not all the same. It may still be that the mail handler on your server is not configured correctly itself. Did you contact your host or consult its FAQ if anything special is needed?
Specifically, (trying not to sound too blunt) the 1.4.0.4 release is a BUG FIX release. If you are not willing to load a fix release then there is actally nothing we can do to help you. You stay on a release with bugs in it you maintain those bugs. Pretty simple? You actually have to install fixes to get them to work for you.
