Question

I am having some trouble with the Ion_Auth forgotten password function.

I have loaded the library and called the function, passing an email address (from an input box).

The email template exists on the server (as do all relevant files) and the function is in fact returning TRUE, tested by using an IF NOT statement.

However, no emails are being sent. Now I know the CI mail function works, as I made a quick mail using the email library and it sent the message with no problems.

I tested the Ion_Auth library and found it was finding the user and was generating the email using the template, and it is returning TRUE after executing $this->ci->email->send()

So how can this be, when no email is being received?

Answer 1

You can change the default ion auth behaviour by rewritting the send email code to native PHP, or you can change the protocol. Go to forgotten_password() and before $this->ci->email->initialize($config); you can do $config['protocol'] = OPTION; where option can be mail, sendmail, or smtp
