PocketGecko Email

WordPress plugin that provides an email settings page to configure wp_mail and simplifies sending emails using POST or AJAX.

Description

This is the development repo for PockgetGecko Email.

Plugin Features

• WordPress admin panel settings menu (Settings -> Email)
• Send test emails on the admin menu
• Display success or error notifications on the admin menu to help with debugging
• Supports Cc, Bcc and multiple attachments
• Endpoint at /wp-admin/admin-post.php that accepts POST requests and calls wp_mail.
• Endpoint at /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php that accepts AJAX requests and calls wp_mail.
• Front end JavaScript functions for posting forms and sending emails using AJAX.
• Security conscious: limits functionality for non-admin users and does not accept requests from external hosts.

Usage

git clone https://github.com/axiomattik/pocketgecko-email.git
cd pocketgecko-email/
npm install dev

If you have a local WordPress development server running at localhost:8000 then from the repo's root directory you can run gulp, which will build the plugin and then use BrowserSync to serve the plugin, automatically re-building any changes and refreshing your browser.

To install the plugin (after running gulp build) to your local WordPress server, use a symlink. For example:

cd ~/pocketgecko-email/
ln -s ./bld/pocketgecko-email/ ~/my-wp-project/wp/wp-content/plugins/pocketgecko-email

Requirements

• local WordPress server served at localhost:8000
• node v12.18.3
