api autoresponder

[jcorreia]

Hi,
I´am giving the first steps with the API so I can build a form to some users add an autoresponder.

I´ve seen the documentation here ApiEmail < ApiDocs < TWiki

and didn´t find no reference to 'addautoresponder' nor 'delautoresponder'.
I´ve found across search here http://forums.cpanel.net/f42/xml-api...tml#post609885 that the add option exists in API1, although it´s not documented.

Is this correct ? What is the function and arguments to remove it ?

Thanks

nobody ?
There isn´t a function to remove an autoresponder ??

There is, it's called Email::delautoresponder

This is an API1 call, that uses the email address as it's only parameter.

f.ex.


<cpanel Email="delautoresponder($FORM{'email'})">

or in xml-api:

cpanel?cpanel_xmlapi_apiversion=1&cpanel_xmlapi_module=Email&cpanel_xmlapi_func=delautoresponder&arg-0=someemailaddress@domain.com

thank you

APi documentation would be more helpful if it could permit user comments....php.net style

just a suggestion...

found a bug in delautoresponder.
Even it the auto responder is not deleted it always returns success.

Here is the array return on an error

array
  'module' => string 'Email' (length=5)
  'func' => string 'delautoresponder' (length=16)
  'type' => string 'event' (length=5)
  'source' => string 'internal' (length=8)
  'apiversion' => string '1' (length=1)
  'data' => 
    array
      'result' => 
        array
          empty
  'event' => 
    array
      'result' => string '1' (length=1)

The error in my case was that I was not sending the full email. Just the part until the @. It was not deleted in cpanel, but the result returned is success.

I have the last cpanel stable version.

Thanks

Changes are coming to API1 in future versions that will fix this type of issue. We are aware of the problem and are working on it

Hi,
Found a Major bug with addautoresponder. If there is any comma in the message it won´t work. I almost went nuts because it was working sometimes, and others don´t

This is what I´ve tried

$args =array($email_account,
             "TESTES",
             "Out of Office - %subject%",
             "for any subject please contact my colleague  yyyyyyy (zzzz.zzzz@xxxxx.com)",
             $email_domain,
             true,
             "ISO-8859-1",
             8
            );
$result=$xmlapi->api1_query($account, "Email", "addautoresponder",$args);
var_dump($result);

this works, but if you change the message to
"for any subject, please contact my colleague yyyyyyy(zzzz.zzzz@xxxxx.com)"

It won´t create the autoresponder (notice the comma after the 'subject')

I was finishing development when I found this, so I´m stuck.

Any workaround or a way to fix this ?

Thanks

[jcorreia]

This is what is sent in the html,

arg-3=for+any+subject%2C+please+contact+my+colleague++yyyyyyy+%28zzzz.zzzz%40xxxxx.com%29

so I suppose there is a problem when %2C is in the message.
I wonder if there are more special chars problems...

Hi,

This is what I´ve tried

$args =array($email_account,
             "TESTES",
             "Out of Office - %subject%",
             "for any subject please contact my colleague  yyyyyyy (zzzz.zzzz@xxxxx.com)",
             $email_domain,
             true,
             "ISO-8859-1",
             8
            );
$result=$xmlapi->api1_query($account, "Email", "addautoresponder",$args);
var_dump($result);

What is the property of "TESTES" and 8 in your example, I cannot find the docs for addautoresponder anywhere...

Thanks

I can confirm the above mentioned bug. If a , (comma) is entered in the subject, the action fails.

[jcorreia]

Hi,
"TEstes" is the $from and '8' is the interval.

You can check the details about this fields, in the cpanel autoresponder form.

You didn´t find the documentation because there is none, I´ve discovered this reading the forums and struggling a lot


I Wish someone from cpanel comment about this bug and roadmap for the fix.

[jcorreia]

another thing, I didn´t tested the comma in the 'subject'.
The 'subject' I mentioned is part of the 'message body', so you have found another bug, and I suspect this bug is spread along the API for all functions,
so this is very important for cpanel staff to check.

Thanks

For someone who cares I´ve build a workaround for it, that is to cut all the commas in the message in the xmlapi.php
It´s not pretty, but at least it will not fail to build the autoresponder.

add this :

//workaround to comma fix of autoresponder
               $args= str_replace("%2C","",$args);
//workaround end

after this

$args = http_build_query($vars, '', '&');

I am struggling with exactly the same problem. I am pretty much a beginner, is there any easier "workaround" then the above mentioned?

Thanks
