emailemail-templatesmagento-1.9

Hello guys i am trying to send an email in magento using custom email templates. But I am getting exception I have installed SMTP Pro Extension.

I am listing code here:-

My config.xml

<template>
  <email>
    <custom_abc_email_template  module="custom_abc">
      <label>Custom Template</label>
      <file>custom_abc_templates/customTemplate.html</file>  // this specifies the path where the custom template is located
      <type>html</type>
    </custom_abc_email_template>
  </email>
</template>

code of my controller action

$emailTemplate  = Mage::getModel('core/email_template')->loadDefault('custom_abc_email_template');
$emailTemplate->setSenderName('custom template');
$emailTemplate->setSenderEmail('abc@demomail.com');
$emailTemplate->send('abc@demomail.com','Forgot Password');

My Template file code

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
    <tr>
        <td class="action-content">
            <h1>Custom Abc,</h1>
            <p><strong>Your new password is:</strong> trolled</p>
            <p>You can change your password at any time by logging into <a href="{{store url="customer/account/"}}">your account</a>.</p>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

'This letter cannot be sent.' in /var/www/html/MMM/app/code/local/Aschroder/SMTPPro/Model/Email/Template.php:40

In aschroder_smtppro.log

2016-04-11T10:03:18+00:00 DEBUG (7): Email is not valid for sending, 
this is a core error that often means there's a problem with your email templates.

use below code you were not processing the template..

$emailTemplate  = Mage::getModel('core/email_template')
                        ->loadDefault('custom_abc_email_template');                                 

$emailTemplate->setSenderName('custom template');
$emailTemplate->setSenderEmail('abc@demomail.com');
$emailTemplateVariables = array();
$processedTemplate = $emailTemplate->getProcessedTemplate($emailTemplateVariables);
$emailTemplate->send('abc@demomail.com','Forgot Password', $emailTemplateVariables,$storeId=null);

try to send direct email it is working or not

$html="
put your html content here
blah blah

";
$mail = Mage::getModel('core/email');
$mail->setToName('Your Name');
$mail->setToEmail('Youe Email');
$mail->setBody('Mail Text / Mail Content');
$mail->setSubject('Mail Subject');
$mail->setFromEmail('Sender Mail Id');
$mail->setFromName("Msg to Show on Subject");
$mail->setType('html');// YOu can use Html or text as Mail format

try {
$mail->send();
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addSuccess('Your request has been sent');
$this->_redirect('');
}
catch (Exception $e) {
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addError('Unable to send.');
$this->_redirect('');
}

In this case you need to rewrite the above specified class using your module. You can use this module. I love to call this module as Rkt_CustomerSPTemplateModifier

File : app\etc\modules\Rkt_CustomerSPTemplateModifier.xml

<config>
    <modules>
        <Rkt_CustomerSPTemplateModifier>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
            <depends>
                <Mage_Customer />
            </depends>
        </Rkt_CustomerSPTemplateModifier>
    </modules>
</config>

This file tells to magento that, I am going to include a module Rkt_CustomerSPTemplateModifier in local code pool and it depends on Mage_Customer mdoule.

File: app\code\local\Rkt/CustomerSPTemplateModifier/etc/config.xml

<config>
    <modules>
        <Rkt_CustomerSPTemplateModifier>
            <version>1.0.0</version>
        </Rkt_CustomerSPTemplateModifier>
    </modules>
    <global>
       <models>
          <customer>
              <rewrite>
                  <customer>Rkt_CustomerSPTemplateModifier_Model_Customer</customer>
              </rewrite>
          </customer>
       </models>
    </global>
</config>

This configuration tells to magento that, it should use the custom class Rkt_CustomerSPTemplateModifier_Model_Customer whenever it requires to use Mage_Customer_Model_Customer.

Now we need to define our custom model class Rkt_CustomerSPTemplateModifier_Model_Customer. For this.

File : app\code\local\Rkt/CustomerSPTemplateModifier/Model/Customer.php

<?php

/**
 * Rewriting core class `Mage_Customer_Model_Customer`
 *
 * The methods which are defined inside this class will be used prior to those methods which are
 * defined inside the class `Mage_Customer_Model_Customer`.
 *
 */
class Rkt_CustomerSPTemplateModifier_Model_Customer extends Mage_Customer_Model_Customer
{

     /**
     * Send email with reset password confirmation link
     *
     * @return Mage_Customer_Model_Customer
     */
    public function sendPasswordResetConfirmationEmail()
    {
       $storeId = $this->getStoreId();
        if (!$storeId) {
            $storeId = $this->_getWebsiteStoreId();
        }
        $customVar = $this->getCustomvar();

        $customCollection= Mage::getModel('namespace_extension/customcollection')->load(5);

        $this->_sendEmailTemplate(
            self::XML_PATH_FORGOT_EMAIL_TEMPLATE, self::XML_PATH_FORGOT_EMAIL_IDENTITY,
            array(
                'customer' => $this, 
                'customvar' => $customVar, 
                'customcollection' => $customCollection
            ), 
            $storeId
        );

        return $this;
    }
}

That's it. A tiny module is successfully created. Now clear all caches and then try again.

Magento 1.9 – Unable to Send Email with Email Template

Try this:

So the problem was: !Mage::getStoreConfigFlag('system/smtp/disable') which you can fix up in Admin > System > Configuration > Advanced > System > Mail Sending Settings and change Disable Email Communications to No so the emails are NOT disabled.

Explanation

Look at the /app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Email/Template.php.The code throwing this error is:

if (!$this->isValidForSend()) {
    Mage::logException(new Exception('This letter cannot be sent.')); // translation is intentionally omitted
    return false;
}

Look at isValidForSend():

public function isValidForSend()
{
    return !Mage::getStoreConfigFlag('system/smtp/disable')
        && $this->getSenderName()
        && $this->getSenderEmail()
        && $this->getTemplateSubject();
}
