This is a fork of the fanlisting PHP script [BullaBuffs](https://github.com/jemjabella/BellaBuffs), with the email sending library [PHPMailer](https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer) integrated.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
I created this BellaBuffs fork when I was building the [{% cite "Cassette Beasts" %} fanlisting](https://fan.leilukin.com/cassettebeasts) with BellaBuffs and hosting the fanlisting on [InfinityFree](https://www.infinityfree.com/). I learned that InfinityFree's free hosting plan [does not support PHP `mail()` function](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/sending-email-from-your-website-php-mail/49242), so incorporating PHPMailer was the solution to allow the {% cite "Cassette Beasts" %} fanlisting to send emails.
|
|
|
|
More information about my BellaBuffs fork and instructions for how to use it can be found on [its GitHub repository](https://github.com/helenclx/BellaBuffs-PHPMailer) and [its Gitea repository mirror](https://git.32bit.cafe/Leilukin/BellaBuffs-PHPMailer).

## 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
|
|
* Allows fnalisting members to change their favourites with the update form if favourites field is enabled |
