Phoca Forum

Hello Jan,

Thank you for putting in the public domain a very functional component that enables site managers to email people through the front-end. Appreciated.

I installed Phoca Email 1.0.0 on Joomla 1.5.20. After successful installation and setting of parameters, I created a menu link in a user menu. The link created is: index.php?option=com_phocaemail. Clicking this link leads to 404 error. Upon investigation, I found that:

1. A new sub-folder was created in the components folder - com_phocaemail. However, this sub-folder is empty. There are no files in here.

2. A new sub-folder was created in the www\<sitename>\ folder - phocaemail. This folder has one file - "index.html" and a sub-folder - vm. The vm sub-folder in turn has one file - "index.html".

In the back-end, clicking on the component "Phocaemail" >> Write leads to a proper email form, which I can fill up and send as email. However, in the front-end, there is the aforementioned problem.

How do I resolve this issue? I would really like to have the functionality in the front-end.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
as far as I know, Phoca Email is not made for frontend use.
See: https://www.phoca.cz/phocaemail

* Phoca Email is used for sending emails from other components like e.g. sending Invoice, Delivery Note or Receipt from VirtueMart component
* Phoca Email can be used to quickly send emails from Joomla! administration site.

Kind regards,
Benno

Hi,

Thanks for the update on this; appreciated.

The way it looked in the back-end, was superb. The component installer created the appropriate subfolder in the component folder too for front-end. Only, it did not transfer the requisite files and folders in it. I manually copied the content of the Phoca mail subfolder in administrator area to the front-end folder, but it didn't work. I am pretty sure that, for the developer, it would easy to put that specific snippet which will make the back-end screen appear in the front-end too. At the same time, I appreciate that it does take effort.

Here's wishing the developer all the best. Thanks again.

Hi, creating the same behaviour takes cca 7x more time than creating it for the admin There is problem with security too

Added into feature request list.

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem.
I did not understand if the problem has been solved or not.
Could anybody lit the lite? I would be disappointing if this component could be out because I like it a lot (there are other similar components, which are working but are not elegant).
Thank you to everybody.

Hi, which problem do you exactly mean?
