Re: [Koha-devel] Test Email Page
I am about to test the script in my KOHA server. Please tell me where to place the script prior running it. Is it the same place where other cronjobs reside, or somewhere else. Regards.

Re: [Koha-devel] Test Email Page
2010/4/15 nitesh rijal rijal...@gmail.com: that would be an awesome Ideaits definitely needed.I have also faced a lot of such problems. I think we need to write in step by step process about what to do first and I have submitted work which includes a step-by-step for setting up to use gmail's smtp services: http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-patches/2010-February/005572.html However, this does not address the setup of other mail services. How-to's for others would be most welcome, no doubt. then what to successfully send overdue notifications and other email as well that would be a great thing for all if implemented. For documentation on how to setup notices in the staff client, see: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=x5083 as well as the section following that one. For documentation on how to setup the cron jobs see the misc/cronjobs/crontab.example file. How about an Email Test page in the Admin area? I'm willing to write such a page. Before doing that, I'd like any ideas developers have about such a thing. And I'd like some details on how email works in Koha from the horses' mouth. I believe that there has been an effort over the development of Koha to separate the Koha administrative functions from the system administrative functions. Since mail setup falls squarely in the system administrative side of things, it might be better to write a test script which could be run from the cli.
