Hello, and thank you.
"No configuration needed in the module. Just make sure you have saved the proper settings regarding your SMTP credentials."
Could you, please, help with installation instructions?
Thanks again

Keep in mind that for the proper SMTP credentials you need to contact your hosting provider.

Hello I have the same request as @Puriom , "Could you, please, help with installation instructions?" Thanks a lot.

There is absolutely no configuration required. You just setup smtp from your hosting provider, change mail method to smtp in PrestaShop core admin and this is all you need.

Tip: In case the mail is not delivered, make sure the required template does exist.

Hello,

There is a problem when installing the file. The same error reported at Github: https://github.com/tivuno/tvmail/issues/1

It should be very useful  for the community to get the module works 😃😃. At this moment I am stuck, unable to set the official smtp Prestashop module up, so I need to test this one.

I am using Prestashop 8.2.

Thanks!

Hello sir,

sorry for the delay.

Could you provide details concerning your setup, such as PrestaShop and PHP version?

Thanx

Hello!

PS version is 8.2.1.

PHP version is 8.1.

Thanks.

Thanks.

In my local setup, PHP 8.1 blows up for some strange reason (which I will not inspect that hard, to be honest).

So I tested with PHP 8.3.1 and everything works as expected.

Step 1:

cd modules/tvmail

Browse to /modules/tvmail directory in your terminal (it does not matter if it lies inside PHPstorm or we talk about a genuine terminal).

Step 2:

composer update

Aiming to get the PHPMailer library.

Step 3:

Browse to CONFIGURE > Advanced Parameters > E-mail

I operate using Gmail SMTP for your interest.

Step 4: Browse to https://myaccount.google.com

Step 5: Look for "App passwords"

Step 6: Create one and keep the 16-letter password (divided by 3 spaces).
This is gonna be your password instead of your actual Gmail password.

Step 7: Here is the complete SMTP setup https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zaympg9i1kydqu2uma4da/Gmail-smtp.png?rlkey=fdc0elarpue71d0t4pwnffu86&st=op14trrv&dl=0

The procedure should be quite similar to any other SMTP provider.

PS: Even if the password seems empty, if you check in your _configuration table for the field PS_MAIL_PASSWD, you will see it is not. Even if it is, just edit it directly in the phpmyadmin environment (because sometimes the specific mail page sucks).

PS2: Before pushing "Send test mail", you are kindly requested to fill in the app password (from step 6) manually. The procedure operates via JS and gets the value from the respective input for speed purposes instead of looking for it in the database.

Cheers!
