Simple Plugin Not Working - I can't see why - Help please?
Development and Programming
Hiya,
Just wondering if someone can show me the error of my ways on this one?
I have a very simple plugin (code shown below) which when called in a template using this code :
{exp:admin_email redirect="template_group/template"}I was hoping that it would first send the email and then secondly redirect to the redirect=”template_group/template” template that is set in the plugin parameter.
I’m not getting the e-mail sent and not getting the re-direct happening either. If I take out all the email sending part though the plugin does redirect to the other template so I know that bit’s working.
Anyone know why the email sending part wouldn’t be working though?

Any of the moderators possibly want to show me the error of my ways maybe? 😉
Unless I’m being completely blind (probably the case ;- ) ) I’m pretty sure I just copied the email part from the documentation exactly as it was but it just doesn’t seem to want to work. If I however place a standard PHP mail() function in there instead then I get the e-mail so I’m a little confused as to what I’m doing wrong here.
$REGX is missing in the list of globals. Other than that it should work.

Eek!! That’s what you get from staring at something for WAAAAAY too long!! 😊
Thanks for that. Will give it a go now.

Worked immediately upon adding in the $REGX global, thanks tons!
I guess that’s what you get for trying something out at 4 in the morning!! 😊
Best wishes,
