BellaBuffs with PHPMailer Integration

This is a fork of the fanlisting PHP script BullaBuffs, with PHPMailer powering the email sending functions.

Description

BellaBuffs includes the optional features to email new members after submitting the join form, email the fanlisting admin when a new member joins or email new members when their applications were approved. The original BellaBuffs script achieved this by using PHP's built-in mail() feature.

This fork replaces the PHP mail() functions from BellaBuffs with PHPMailer, allowing a fanlisting to send out emails with SMTP, provided the fanlisting owner chooses to enable them, even if the hosting server does not support the PHP mail() function.

The PHPMailer script that is incorporated in this fork is based on InfinityFree's PHPMailer contact form script. As InfinityFree's free hosting plan does not support PHP mail() function, InfinityFree has provided their contact form script as an alternative.

This BellaBuffs fork has been tested with PHP 8.2 on InfinityFree's free hosting.

New Features

  • Integrate PHPMailer for the email sending features, should the fanlisting owner enables these features
  • Email sending features are enabled by default, but can be disabled in prefs.php
  • HTML5 form validation, including E-mail and URL input types and the required attribute
  • Update list of countries
  • Add a buttons folder (with a placeholder file to enable the folder to be pushed via Git), so users do not need to manually create the folder to store uploaded buttons

Usage Instructions

  1. Customise your preferences in prefs.php
  2. Configure your email SMTP settings in contactform/config.php
  3. Upload all files of this fork to a directory where you want your fanlisting to be located
  4. Set file permissions of all the .txt files to CHMOD 666 to make the text files writeable
  5. Set permission of the buttons directory to CHMOD 777 to enable buttons to be uploaded to the directory (NOTE: It is recommended to set the permissions of buttons directory to CHMOD 755 when not using the button upload features for better security)

More instructions for using BellaBuffs can be found in the original Read Me of BellaBuffs.
