Hello all...
I have a this problem, "Unable to initialize function mail".
Joomla 1.5, install all correct. The form is very simple:
<table border="0" width="45%">
<tr>
<td width="69" align="left"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Nombre: </font> </td>
<td><input type="text" name="T1" size="64"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="69" align="left"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Email: </font> </td>
<td><input type="text" name="T2" size="64"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="69" valign=top align="left"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Consulta:</font></td>
<td><textarea rows="17" name="S1" cols="54"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="69"> </td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Enviar" name="B1"></td>
</tr>
</table>

And the debug type:

_POST: Array ( [T1] => ARUS [T2] => [email]arus85@hotmail.com[/email] [S1] => dgdfg [B1] => Enviar )
Case 1: Use table layout
E-mail: 'Yes' custom
Email sent
E-mail message

Tanks for all, and sorry my english.

Hi Arus,

you get "Unable to initialize function mail" with an orange background from Joomla ? if so then you mail server is not working! you are working on a localhost ? if this is a live server then contact your host admin!

Hello, thank you for your help.
Yes, indeed with orange background. But what is curious that I have installed VirtueMart, and when making orders mails arrive, and when someone is registered also arrive emails.
There will have to configure anything else in Chronoform?
Thank you

Hi Arus,

this is bizarre, can you test with a gmail account ? hotmail is too bad and marks many emails as junk, also, do you have anything in the special fields tab ? remove them all!

Cheers

Hi again,


I have tried what I said he has replaced in this form:

Name: <input name="name" value="" /> <br type="text">
E-mail: <input name="email" value="" /> <br type="text">
<input name="submit" value="Submit" type="submit">

Well basics. I have also used a gmail account for testing.
And continues to give the same ruling.
I try to reinstall the component? although not gave me no problem to install it.

Tankyou

Arus

Hi Max,

I have been able to solve, the problem was joomla (or rather, mine). The change did in shaping the mail server joomla, before it had a "PHP function Mail" and what I changed to "SMTP server."
Now I do not prove that the rest of the functions (VirtueMart and users registers) walk properly.
Thank you for your help
A greeting
Arus
