Contact Us Form - Admin Email

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

Hi,

Just playing around with yii2, wondering where the admin email account is set to receive the emails created when the contact form is submitted.

I did a search for ‘example.com’ in the codebase and changed several places to go to my email account, but when I submit the form I am not seeing any emails.

Cheers!

it was available under params.php inside config directory

Thanks for the response.

I had changed it there. So might be another reason it is not working (It is on external hosting with a mail server etc).

I will keep looking and post my findings.

Cheers!

Check email component config. I may be in useFileTransport = true mode so instead of actually sending emails it just writes to files.

Thanks for the reply.

That would appear to be the case. I am fairly new to using composor and obviously yii2. My local environment was different to my initialized environment online.

I saw the clear instructions of why it wouldn’t have sent after following your instructions.

But i wasn’t seeing that text when I submitted the form.

Cheers!

UPDATE1:

Among other things I had forgotten that I had created an instance of a basic and advanced app, and then got confused :s

UPDATE2

Given I was on the Contact Us page under frontend, the specific place I had to change the admin email was under:

frontend >> config >> params.php
