[Xerte] Re: Example email headers for Xerte install please. Anyone?

I don't have XOT installed, but I do a fair amount of PHP programming.
When I send HTML mail via PHP, I use the following:
// define headers
$headers = "MIME-Version:1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: MyFromAddress at example.com\r\nReply-To:
MyFromAddress at example.com \r\n";
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
It appears from the XOT code that your headers information is stored in
a database, and from the discussion thread, it seems to me that your
database doesn't have an entry for headers. You might give the following
a try:
MIME-Version:1.0*Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8*From:
YourFromAddress at yourDomain.com*Reply-To: YourFromAddress at yourDomain.com
I would skip the X-Mailer parameter. It's not required and you would
have to hard-code the PHP version instead of using the PHP function
call.
Cheers,
Paul

Anyone?
Thanks for your help Tom. Still can't get it work here, though.
I've attached a screenshot of the contents of my management.php and
copied what I have in config.php and the error logs below.
This is what is now in config.php:
/**
* Email settings
*/
$xerte_toolkits_site->site_email_account =
$row['site_email_account'];
$xerte_toolkits_site->headers = str_replace("*", "\r\n",
$row['headers']);
$xerte_toolkits_site->email_to_add_to_username =
$row['email_to_add_to_username'];
/**
* RSS Proxy settings
*/
$xerte_toolkits_site->proxy1 = $row['proxy1'];
$xerte_toolkits_site->port1 = $row['port1'];
/**
* Set up the feedback list from the feedback page
*/
$xerte_toolkits_site->feedback_list = $row['feedback_list'];
And this is what I have in the error log after submitting something in
the feedback form on the logged in page:
mail() on [D:\shared\xerte\website_code\php\error_library.php:185]: To:
simon2.carter at uwe.ac.uk <mailto:simon2.carter at uwe.ac.uk> -- Headers:

Anyone?
Had a look, and it's complicated...
1. I had to fix config.php, the line where the headers are set:
Change
$xerte_toolkits_site->headers = $row['headers'];
in
$xerte_toolkits_site->headers = str_replace("*", "\r\n",
$row['headers']); (Line 194 in my installation)
2. The list of people who have to receive the feedback should be set in
the feedback list (Last item of the Site settings) 3. The site email
account is as of yet unclear to me 4. An example of the headers is
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1*From: XOT <reijnders at tor.nl
<mailto:reijnders at tor.nl> >
5. The site email to add to username is the email domain name that is
added to a xot username in the case of peer to peer feedback of a user
to another user.
This is working for me.
Regards,
Tom
