What is Emailq

Emailq is a simple email queueing system that stores emails created anywhere in your application and then sends them using Cron.

This module is built for Kohana 3 framework. Tested in 3.09

Uses (and includes) Swiftmailer library (4.0.6)

Requeriments

• ORM Module
• Cron for setting up delivery.
• A new table called email_queue;

Installation

Create the required table

CREATE TABLE  `ko3`.`email_queue` (
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
`email` VARCHAR( 40 ) NOT NULL ,
`name` VARCHAR( 40 ) NOT NULL ,
`subject` VARCHAR( 40 ) NOT NULL ,
`body` TEXT NOT NULL
) ENGINE = MYISAM ;

Configure the email settings

Copy the file /modules/Emailq/config/example.php to /modules/Emailq/config/emailq.php

Open and configure your email options in :

/modules/Emailq/config/emailq.php

Using Emailq

For now, there's nothing much advanced to do with it.

To add a email to the queue:

Emailq::factory()->add_email('email@email.com', 'Name', 'Subject', 'Body');

To setup the cron:

Create an action that calls sends_emails()

public function action_send() {
	Emailq::factory()->send_emails();
}
