    Hi everybody,

    I am stuck with the AkActionMailer. I somehow miss something between gather the Form's inputfield-values and use them to send e-mails. I followed the instructions in the /lib/AkActionMailer.php. Here is what I did:

    ./script/generate mailer Notifier contactNotification

    Then I changed /models/notifier.php to the following:

    class Notifier extends AkActionMailer
{

  function contactNotification($params)
  {
    $this->set(array(
        'recipients'    => 'mymail@host.com',
        'from'          => $params['email'],
        'subject'       => $params['subject'],
        'contentType'   => 'text/html',
        'body'          => array(   'Sender'        => $params['email'],
                            'Subject'       => $params['subject'],
                            'Message'       => $params['message']),
        'headers'       => array(   'MIME-Version'  => '1.0',
                            'Reply-To'      => $params['email'],
                            'X-Mailer'      => 'PHP/'.phpversion())
    ));
  }   
}

    The /views/notifier/contactNotification.tpl look like this (but here I want to have all fields from the form available...):

    <html>
  <body>
    <h1>{$Subject} by {$Sender}</h1>
    {$Message}
  </body>
</html>

    In my Application Controller I have:

    function submit()
{
    if (!empty($this->params['contact']['email']))
    {
        if (empty($this->params['contact']['message']))
        {
            $this->flash['error'] = $this->t('<b>No Message</b> This is a required field.');

        } else {
            Ak::import_mailer('notifier');
    $Notifier = new Notifier();
    if ($Notifier->deliver('contactNotification', $this->params['contact']))
            {
                $this->flash['tip'] = $this->t('<b>Thank You!</b> We received your message.');

            } else {

                $this->flash['error'] = $this->t('<b>An Error occured</b> Please try again.');
            }
        }

    } else {

        $this->flash['error'] = $this->t('<b>No E-Mail</b> We need this to contact you.');
    }

    $this->redirectTo('index');
}

    And the HTML Form in the template looks like this:

    <?php $contact_form = $form_helper->form_for('contact', $Contact, array('url' => array('action' => 'submit'))); ?>
  <b>_{Name}</b>        <?= $contact_form->text_field('name'); ?><br />
  <b>_{eMail}</b>       <?= $contact_form->text_field('email'); ?><br />
  <b>_{Subject}</b>     <?= $form_options_helper->select('contact', 'subject', array('Contact me', 'Question', 'Information', 'General/Other')) ?><br />
  <b>_{Message}</b>     <?= $contact_form->text_area('message') ?><br />
  <input type="submit" value="_{Send}" />
<?= $contact_form->end_form_tag(); ?>

    When I send the form (with valid data), I get the message: "Fatal error: Class 'Notifier' not found in /myproject/app/controllers/myproject_controller.php"

    I think I have also some basic misunderstanding in handling this. How can I access the mailer model? Forbear with me, as I am just very new to Akelos.

    Anyway, appreciate all your help,
    Oliver

    Well, I guess you can forget it - looks like I was able to solve it thank to (this Discussion)[http://forum.akelos.org/discussion/527/] :)

    I edited my initial post so it shows now the working code...

    However, I'd appreciate any comments on the code above if there are thing I could to "better".
