Introduction

Pigeon is wrapper module around SwiftMailer for Kohana 3.x.

Pigeon module also comes with logger plugin for Kohana.

Instalation

$ git submodule add git://github.com/loonies/kohana-pigeon.git modules/pigeon
$ git submodule update --init
$ cd modules/pigeon
$ git submodule update --init

Configuration

The configuration file is divided into configuration group. For each of the group you define a transport connection settings. That way you can have different servers for sending the emails.

If you omit some option default value will be set. Take a look into configuration file for examples.

'gmail' => array(
	'transport' => 'smtp',
	'options'   => array(
		'host'       => 'smtp.gmail.com',
		'port'       => 465,
		'timeout'    => 10,
		'encryption' => 'ssl',
		'username'   => 'user',
		'password'   => 'pass',
	),
),
'myserver' => array(
	'transport' => 'smtp',
	'options'   => array(
		'host'       => 'smtp.myserver.com',
		'timeout'    => 10,
		'username'   => 'user',
		'password'   => 'pass',
	),
),

Usage

Before using SwiftMailer you have to load it.

Pigeon::load();

// Continue with standard SwiftMailer usage
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance();
$message->setSubject()
...

Create a mailer instance.

$gmail = Pigeon::mailer('gmail');

Note: Pigeon::mailer() will internally call Pigeon::load().

Send the message.

$gmail->send($message);

Logging

Pigeon logger will pass SwiftMailer logs to the Kohana logging object.

$logger = new Pigeon_Plugins_Loggers_Kohana;
$gmail->registerPlugin(new Swift_Plugins_LoggerPlugin($logger));
