Please show us your controller and we might be able to tell you

[Reuben Baltazar]

function student($operation = null)

{

$this->unset_data();

 

$this->grocery_crud->set_table('tblstudent');

//$this->grocery_crud->set_theme('datatables');

$this->grocery_crud->set_subject('Student');

$this->grocery_crud->unset_read();

$this->grocery_crud->unset_export();

$this->grocery_crud->unset_columns('image');

//$this->grocery_crud->callback_after_insert(array($this,'hidden'));

 

if($operation =='insert_validation' || $operation == 'insert')

sir if you refer to your code ...

//$this->grocery_crud->callback_after_insert(array($this,'hidden'));

how can you expect php to execute this piece of code?

[Reuben Baltazar]

this is my calback after insert 

 

function sendEmail($post_array,$primary_key)

{

$this->load->library('email');

$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

 

$this->email->from('revshare18@gmail.com','reu');

$this->email->to('reubenbaltazar@yahoo.com');

$this->email->subject('sample');

$this->email->message('testing');

 

if($this->email->send())

{

echo 'your email sent';

}

else

{

show_error($this->email->print_debugger());

}

 

}

1. It really helps us understand what you are doing if you include any code you paste in "code" tags - that's the [<>] button in the editor
2. Check the documentation at: http://www.grocerycrud.com/documentation/options_functions/callback_after_insert
3. Note that when you call the function you use

   $crud->callback_after_insert(array($this, 'name_of_callback_function'));
   

   then

   function name_of_callback_function($post_array,$primary_key)
   {
       //your code for what you want to do
    
       return true;
   }
   

   Don't comment out the line.

[Reuben Baltazar]

i include this and it's still didnt work

 

$this->grocery_crud->callback_after_insert(array($this,'sendEmail'));

[Reuben Baltazar]

function sendEmail($post_array,$primary_key)

{

$this->load->library('email');

$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

 

$this->email->from('revshare18@gmail.com','reu');

$this->email->to('reubenbaltazar@yahoo.com');

$this->email->subject('sample');

$this->email->message('testing');

 

$this->email->send();

return true;

}

 

then this is my callback_after_insert  function  still does not working

[Amit Shah]

how you saying it is not working as? you not receiving mail or is it some other way you commencing on it. Not receiving mail may be reason of configuration of server.

 

what i will suggest you do is.. try making some log entry in file / database to check if it is happening or not. If it does happen.. it means mail functionality has issue.. and not code

[Reuben Baltazar]

the email code is working i already try it

[Reuben Baltazar]

but when i used it as my callback_after_insert it doesnt work  

 

really need some help..

[briggers]

Do you have an email config file stored in application/config/email.php?

 

if you don't then you need something like this:

$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;

$this->email->initialize($config);

after

$this->load->library('email');

and before you issue the send command

 

See: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/email.html - Setting Email Preferences

 

so you function might look like this

function sendEmail($post_array,$primary_key)
{
$this->load->library('email');

// email config start ---------------
$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;

$this->email->initialize($config);
// email config end --------------------

$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
 
$this->email->from('revshare18@gmail.com','reu');
$this->email->to('reubenbaltazar@yahoo.com');
$this->email->subject('sample');
$this->email->message('testing');
 
$this->email->send();
return true;
}

[Reuben Baltazar]

yes a already tested the mail function and its fine... 

 

how to check if the callback_after_insert is working? 

 

i think the callback function isn't working

[briggers]

what is in your file: application/config/email.php ?

[Reuben Baltazar]

<?php if(! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script acess allowed');

 

$config['protocol'] ='smtp';

$config['smtp_host']='ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';

$config['smtp_port']=465;

$config['smtp_user']='revshare18@gmail.com';

$config['smtp_pass']='secret';

$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;

 

 

?>

[briggers]

 

$config['smtp_host']='ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';

 

I don't think you can use that as a host name it should be just smtp.googlemail.com

[Reuben Baltazar]

i already check the email config and it works fine...

i have no problems in my config email..

 

 

my problem is the callback_after_insert   its not working.  

how to check if this function is executing?

[Amit Shah]

can you share your environment with me.. like php version / codeigniter version and grocerycrud version.

 

Also .. what i will suggest you to do is.. do a print / echo of some statement in the function and make it die. ...

then look @the firebug to see the response from insert.. if it gets stuck up with the output ..meaning the function is getting called in but if it dose not .. then it might be a situation to look into.

Make sure you write die() post the print statement.. and try and keep it ahead of all the code in the function so we are sure it is not dying cuz of some other issue.

function sendEmail($post_array,$primary_key)

{

$this->load->library('email');

$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

 

$this->email->from('revshare18@gmail.com','reu');

$this->email->to('reubenbaltazar@yahoo.com');

$this->email->subject('sample');

$this->email->message('testing');

 

$this->email->send();

return true;

}

 

then this is my callback_after_insert  function  still does not working

 

Hello and welcome to the forums [member=reuben baltazar].

Please remove this line: $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

Check here why.

[briggers]

i already check the email config and it works fine...

i have no problems in my config email..

 

 

my problem is the callback_after_insert   its not working.  

how to check if this function is executing?

One problem you have is that your callback function calls the mail send library which tries to use the SMTP host:  ssl://smtp.googlemail.com

That host does not exist - try pinging it and you will see

ping ssl://smtp.googlemail.com
ping: unknown host ssl://smtp.googlemail.com

So the mail function returns an error to your callback. Hostnames can only contain letters, numbers and hyphens (-) but not / or : and are always 

something.something1.something2

 

Try pinging smtp.googlemail.com and you will get something like

ping smtp.googlemail.com
PING googlemail-smtp.l.google.com (74.125.136.16) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from ea-in-f16.1e100.net (74.125.136.16): icmp_req=1 ttl=45 time=34.1 ms
64 bytes from ea-in-f16.1e100.net (74.125.136.16): icmp_req=2 ttl=45 time=32.7 ms
64 bytes from ea-in-f16.1e100.net (74.125.136.16): icmp_req=3 ttl=45 time=31.4 ms

which shows that exists.

 

Nothing can send mail to a non-existent host.

 

There may be other errors, but this is a show-stopper
