Community Builder has functions to easily allow e-mailing. These functions support substitions allowing you to place field values within your e-mails as well as even attaching files!

The following function is the proper usage of CBs E-Mail functions. This will allow you to add e-mailing to any of your projects easily with a copy and paste. All need be is to provide the necessary data for the e-mail to send.

function sendMail( $user_id, $mailTo, $mailSubject, $mailBody, $mailHtml = 0, $mailFrom_email = null, $mailFrom_name = null, $mailCC = null, $mailBCC = null, $mailAttachments = null ) {
	global $_CB_framework;

	}

	$mailBCC			=	$cbUser->replaceUserVars( $mailBCC, false );
	$mailSubject			=	$_CB_framework->getCfg( 'sitename' ) . ( $mailSubject ? ' - ' . $cbUser->replaceUserVars( CBTxt::T( $mailSubject ), false ) : null );
	$mailBody			=	$cbUser->replaceUserVars( CBTxt::T( $mailBody ), false );
	$mailAttachments		=	$cbUser->replaceUserVars( $mailAttachments, false );
 
	if ( $mailTo ) {
		$mailTo			=	preg_split( ' *, *', $mailTo );
	} else {
		$mailTo			=	null;
	}
 
	if ( $mailCC ) {
		$mailCC			=	preg_split( ' *, *', $mailCC );
	} else {
		$mailCC			=	null;
	}
 
	if ( $mailBCC ) {
		$mailBCC		=	preg_split( ' *, *', $mailBCC );
	} else {
		$mailBCC		=	null;
	}
 
	if ( $mailAttachments ) {
		$mailAttachments	=	preg_split( ' *, *', $mailAttachments );
	} else {
		$mailAttachments	=	null;
	}
 
	if ( $mailTo && ( $mailSubject || $mailBody ) ) {
		if ( comprofilerMail( $mailFrom_email, $mailFrom_name, $mailTo, $mailSubject, $mailBody, $mailHtml, $mailCC, $mailBCC, $mailAttachments ) ) {
			return true;
		}
	}
 
	return false;
}

 

Passing substitutions as outlined in the substitutions tutorial through to, subject, body, cc, bcc will translate to the appropriate value of the $user field value. This function can also be used to send emails to non-registered users as long as a valid to address is specified (subsitutions of course won't function for non-existant users).
