Emails not sent with Joomla 3 and SMTP

When using Joomla 3, ChonoForms tries to send e-mails always with php mail function.
With Joomla 2.5 it uses whatever is configured in Joomla's global configuration.
With Joomla 3, only way I was able to make it use SMTP was to force it in code with $JMail -> useSMTP

Hi cavefish,

Joomla! changed the email functions in the transition to Joomla! 3.0 and I'm not sure that ChronoForms is 100% compatible yet. Please try my Email [GH] action as that appears to work OK with Joomla! 3

This needs a million upvotes.

I was literally going crazy that this was not working.

I have not looked into your code but it works!!!

@GreyHead, if you turn on development error reporting in J3, you will see that your action plugin does not respect certain strict guideline rules and creates a lot of warnings.

Perhaps you can have a look and update it?

Thanks again for your work!

Best,

Hi trefex,

I don't begin to try to meet 'STRICT' errors; other Warnings and Notices I will take a look at.

Hey cavefish, can you explain how you use $JMail -> useSMTP to force SMTP in joomla3?
That would be very useful🙂

Thanks

I have installed your email action. How can I use?

I have load email action in form then debug but I can see message that email successfully sent but I am not getting email on my id.
