Brief Description:
QuickEmail can be used to send an email form within a snippet, but its main purpose is to diagnose email problems.
If your email system is working, QuickEmail will send you a test email with no configuration at all. Just install it and put the following snippet tag on a page:
When you preview the page, you should receive an email. If you don’t, add the debug parameter and preview the page again:
[[!QuickEmail? &debug=`1`]]
If there is any problem with your mail system, QuickEmail will try to diagnose it and attempt to give you an intelligent error message.
Please note that QuickEmail is *not* an email form. It is a snippet that sends an email.
Hi Bob,
I’ve tried installing QuickEmail manually via the transport.zip but I get this error message:
(...)
Could not unpack package /data/web/***/htdocs/core/packages/quickemail-1.0.2-beta1.transport.zip to /data/web/***/htdocs/core/packages/. SIG: quickemail-1.0.2-beta1
Could not find package manifest at /data/web/***/htdocs/core/packages/quickemail-1.0.2-beta1/manifest.php
Do you happen to have any ideas why this doesn’t work?
Thanks, R

The download screen at GitHub is confusing. You have to click on the package name, not on the "download .zip" button. Otherwise, you’re getting the source code rather than the package file.
You should be able to remove the package and then get it directly through "Download Extras" in Package Manager. That’s much easier.
You may have to upgrade your version of MODx to see it in PM.
Hi Bob,
thanks for your answer - the upgrade to 2.0.7 did the trick (even when manually adding the package)!
Cheers, R

Doesn’t install for me through Package Management.
Firstly, the License Agreement, Read Me and Changelog are all blank (are they supposed to be?) and then when I try installing I get this:
Could not find package manifest at /homepages/27/d204533922/htdocs/path/modx/core/packages/quickemail-1.0.2-beta1/manifest.php
Could not unpack package /homepages/27/d204533922/htdocs/path/modx/core/packages/quickemail-1.0.2-beta1.transport.zip to /homepages/27/d204533922/htdocs/welshsupercup/modx/core/packages/. SIG: quickemail-1.0.2-beta1
Could not install package with signature: quickemail-1.0.2-beta1
:(
Having some problems with FormIt and hoping this would help me.
I can’t replicate that at all.
Be sure your version of MODx is up-to-date and get the package by going to Package Manager and clicking on "Download Extras."
BobRay,
In order for packages to install correctly on Linux servers, the zipped filename and the unzipped filename must match. In this case, the zip file was quickemail-1.0.2-beta1.transport.zip while the unzipped file was quickemail-1.0.2-Beta1 (note the capital "B"). In this instance Package Manager will fail because it’s looking for the folder quickemail-1.0.2-beta1. As soon as the folder is renamed, the package installs flawlessly. This also happened with your NewsPublisher package as well. I’m guessing that they install on a Windows server (and perhaps some other servers) just fine, which would account for the confusion.
Otherwise, great work on these--thanks!
Good catch. I do all my development and testing on Windows so I would never have caught that.
Looks like I have to re-release a bunch of packages (sigh).
