\nMailer in jobeet<\/h2>\n

Yesterday, we added a read-only web service to Jobeet. Affiliates can now create an account but it needs to be activated by the administrator before it can be used. In order for the affiliate to get its token, we still need to implement the email notification. That\u2019s what we will start doing in the coming lines.<\/span><\/p>\n

The symfony framework comes bundled with one of the best PHP emailing solution: Swift Mailer<\/a>. Of course, the library is fully integrated with symfony, with some cool features added on top of its default features. Let\u2019s start by sending a simple email to notify the affiliate when his account has been activated and to give him the affiliate token. But first, you need to configure your environment:<\/p>\n

# ...\r\n    # ...\r\n    mailer_transport:  gmail\r\n    mailer_host:       ~\r\n    mailer_user:       address@example.com\r\n    mailer_password:   your_password\r\n    # ...<\/pre>\n
For the code to work properly, you should change the address@example.com<\/code> email address to a real one, along with your real password.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Do the same thing in your app\/config\/parameters_test.yml<\/code> file.<\/p>\n
After modifying the two files, clear the cache for both test and development environment:<\/p>\n
php app\/console cache:clear --env=dev\r\nphp app\/console cache:clear --env=prod<\/pre>\n
Because we set the mailer transport to gmail, when you will replace the email address from \u201cmailer_user\u201d, you will put a google email address.<\/p>\n
You can think of creating a Message as being similar to the steps you perform when you click the compose button in your mail client. You give it a subject, specify some recipients and write your message.<\/p>\n
To create the message, you will:<\/p>\n
