Is there any module for writing a normal e-mail

laghalt - October 9, 2009 - 17:54

Does anyone know of a module with a "write e-mail" interface. I can´t find any simple modules for just sending a normal email. There are modules handling the SMTP transfer, but is there any module for writing the email? There should be a posibility for the site admin to use the drupal login for sending emails.

There are a few complete webmail clients, in 5.x the basic_webmail is ok. But al integrations of thirdparty software is to mutch to install. The only mail client i can find is Webmail plus - but it is huge with dependece on a lot of other modules that mess up the instalation (realy - I dont need or whant File Framework).

In fact there are a lot of contact modules - is there any one of them that has the ability to send a mail to a non system user(and i dont what to make a campain for each e-mail).

What about the contact module

What about the contact module or webform module?

Dont think so

laghalt - October 9, 2009 - 18:32

No - the contact module is for sending to registrated users. There is no way to enter the TO adress.

You might be able to do this with webform, but I'm not sure. If not, it's probably pretty simple to set up a content type for this and hook into thesave operation to send an email based on the fields in the node via the drupal_mail function.

Another option is to use the rules module to send the email on node save of a certain content type.

Seems quite far fetchted...

If you even should do it shuch a backwards way (writing a mail module should go faster) i dont think it would work.

You can not change the receving adress in webform - i dont think its posible in rules either.

No - I could write a new module - its just that this should be the first module for anyone to write. I dont like reinventing the wheel.

yes it can be done with rules. Create an 'email' content type, add an email cck field, and set up a rule to send the email to that field's address when that content type is created.

Sort of

Now I done it - except that you need the Field Action module - normal actions is not enought. The Field action is under devolpment so you need to hack the from adress in the module. Since I already use the workflow module its not that big deal - so it works.

But a "Send e-mail" module should be easier to write than to install al these modules.

Something to keep in mind to a rainy day.

Did you try this >>

Did you try this >> http://drupal.org/project/rules

You might be able to create a content type 'email' and send an email with the node content upon node creation to the entered email (using a custom field)

no, you don't need the field actions module. This works with rules. If you want to make it even easier you can use the token module.

The Rules module

laghalt - October 16, 2009 - 09:35

Right - with the rules module you can do that (there have bin other rules). But the rules module is 160 KB. The entire basic webmail module was 25 KB - the webmailplus with all its feature are also 160 KB.

If you already use such a module - it won´t affect the sites load, but if you need to install it, it will.

Token is a more comon module - I have not tested to tweek it into sending email.

Joann, can you copy-paste the

Joann, can you copy-paste the rule for this please? Will this also work for anonymous users please?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Sorry, i've since wiped out and recreated my dev environment and I don't have this rule setup anymore. It should be pretty easy to create though-- just follow the steps I outlined in my comment above. And I would think it could work for anonymous users providing you give them permission to create the content type.

Hi, Yes I have it working, pretty straight forward and rules is great!
Now finding out how to get a slick country-province-city user interface (apart from HS, which is great but difficult UI for anonymous users, right?).
