Thanks SMF buddies.
My forum is now running on SMF 2.0 RC2
You are all great!
However, how can I make the forum to start sending emails to the members?
For example, if someone check on "Notify me of replies", my forum doesn't send email again the member who made the post.
It started after the transfer from one host to another hosting account. Is there anyting I did wrong? How can I rectify this problem?
More so, how can I add Google adsense to the forum?
Thanks
Might be that your new host doesn't allow emails to be sent. You can test this out by making a new page called email.php somewhere on your website, with the following code on it:
<?php
// The message
$message = "Success!";
// Send
mail('[email protected]', 'Test Email', $message);
echo 'done';
?>replace "
[email protected]" with your actual email, then point your browser to that page. Now check your email and see if you received anything with the Subject "Test Email" (might be in your junk folder) If you don't receive it, then your host likely doesn't allow sending of emails, in which case you will have to take it up with them, or switch to another host.
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I doubt if the host doesn't allow this. I'm currently using Hostgator and my Article Directory site which I hosted with them is sending emails.
Maybe there is something wrong somewhere - maybe something I didn't click or codes I didn't attach.
Take care!
Check out the mail settings in the admin panel, perhaps they're set to point to the old host SMTP server by any chance?
Searching for "mail" in the Admin's search textbox should take you to the mail settings page.
I think you are right. It seems to me that I'm still using the SMTP settings of the old hosting account instead of Hostgator.
How do I get the new settings?
Thanks
Hostgator should be able to provide you with those details if you don't know them yourself.
Alternatively you can try switching from SMTP > phpmail in the e-mail settings
Thanks buddy. I was able to configure the email
settings after talking to Hostgator this morning.
Everything is work well now.
However, how can I add Google adsense to the Curve
theme?
More so, replies to the posts on my forum do appear
above the main post. How can I rectify this in admin
panel?
Thanks all!
For the google ad thing,if you want to control this via your AdminCP,then you can use this mod http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=255 ,but as far as i see,the mod is not compatible yet with RC2,in that case you can ask the mod author for further help http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=68632.0

I think this is a setting in your Profile > Look and Layout > Show most recent posts at the top.
Thanks. I was able to rectify the issue some days ago.
Norv, you are right with what you wrote. That's exactly
what I did then and everything went well.
Now, I have another issue at hand. And it's:
How do I add Google or CPA codes on my SMF 2.0
RC2 forum? I use default theme Curve for my forum.
Expecting your kind reply.
Take care!
You mean adding code to the header/foot of your forum? You can use this mod for that:

You should be able to add code there which will appear on your header or footer.
