更多CakePHP电子邮件组件问题

Question

I recently posted a question about the CakePHP email component , and, with the help of some of the answers and comments, was able to resolve my problem...

The thing is, solving my email problem revealed another problem!

So, here's my problem:

I have a contract that has a client associated with it. When I create a contract, I select a client. I want to send an email to the client with a link to the contract when I save the contract to the database. However, when I save the contract, no email gets sent! I know that the email is working. If I actually hardcode all of the variables, everything works. But, when I try to dynamically retrieve client info from the database, it doesn't work.

I did see a solution that involved the getByLastId(), but I don't think that will work in this case, because I don't need the most recently added user...I need the user who is attached to this contract.

I hope I am explaining this well.

Here is the code that I think is pertinent...if you need more info, let me know and I'll post it.

Here is the code in my contracts_controller.php for my email sending function:

    function _sendContractEmail($id) {
     $this->Email->smtpOptions = array(
  'port'=>'587',
  'timeout'=>'30',
  'host'=>'smtp.email.com',
  'username'=>'username',
  'password'=>'password'
     );
     $User = $this->Contract->User->read(null,$id);
     $this->Email->delivery = 'smtp';
     $this->Email->to = $User['User']['email'];
     $this->Email->subject = 'New Contract from Company';
     $this->Email->replyTo = 'noreply@example.com';
     $this->Email->from = 'noreply@example.com';
     $this->Email->template = 'default';
     $this->Email->sendAs = 'html';
     $this->set('User', $User);
     $this->Email->send('Test');
     $this->set('smtp-errors', $this->Email->smtpError);
 }

And here is the code in my contracts_controller.php for the add() function:

    function add() {
  if (!empty($this->data)) {
   $this->Contract->create();
   if ($this->Contract->save($this->data)) {
    $this->Session->setFlash(__('The Contract has been saved', true));
    $this->_sendContractEmail($this->Contract->User->id);
   } else {
    $this->Session->setFlash(__('The Contract could not be saved. Please, try again.', true));
   }
  }

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Answer 1

Use findBy<fieldName>(string $value) ( $this->Contact->User->findById($id) )

http://book.cakephp.org/view/451/findBy

This method can return multiple values so use pr($User) to see the array format. You should be able to find the user details in $User[0]['User']['email'].

I was going to post this as comment because I'm not sure if this will work, but I don't have enough reputation to make comments yet :p

Have you tried this?

var $uses = array('User');
$user = $this->User->read(null,$id);

or

$user = $this->User->findById($id)
