Mandrill CakePHP Plugin

This enables using CakeEmail from CakePHP 2.0 with Mandrill.

Installation

1. Add an email configuration for the Mandrill Transport protocol. Add this to /app/Config/email.php. You may find it named email.php.default.

    public $mandrill = array(
    	'transport' => 'Mandrill',
    	'emailFormat' => 'html',
    	'uri' => 'https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/',
    	'key' => 'your-key-here'
    );
   

   Be sure to update the API Key to your own key. Add other CakePHP settings as needed.

2. Copy the MandrillTransport.php file to /app/Lib/Network/Email/MandrillTransport.php.

Usage

Usage is based on the CakeEmail class and specification.

To use, import the CakeEmail class:

App::uses('CakeEmail', 'Network/Email');

and use it like so when you want to send an email.

$email = new CakeEmail();
$email->config('mandrill');	
$email->from('[email protected]');
$email->to('[email protected]');
$email->subject('Subject for Email');
$result = $email->send('Here is some test content for the email.');

The $result object will contain information about the success or failure of the message sending.

It's very simple right now and doesn't support anything more complex, like multiple recipients or attachments.
