Fluvanna County Master Gardener Website

by

The Fluvanna Master Gardeners work with the community to encourage and promote environmentally sound horticulture practices through sustainable landscape management educational Programs.

The Fluvanna Master Gardener website was built using the Genesis Framework on WordPress. The site was configured with the S2Member plugin to protect member-only content.

There are three unique requirements associated with this implementation:

  • Timesheet for volunteer hours – Provide an interface for the volunteers to enter time expended on projects into a timesheet.
  • Helpdesk commitments – Provide an interface for the volunteer to commit to days working the helpdesk. This script also sends an email reminder to the volunteer the Sunday before their scheduled day on the helpdesk.
  • Easy to use charts – Provide a graphical means to measure the year over year donations to the local food bank through the Plant A Row For The Hungry Program. A custom plugin was created for the site using the Google Chart API. See demonstration here.

Phpmailer Language string failed to load

by Leave a Comment

I have seen many posts from people who have installed phpmailer in the hopes of improving their mail capabilities on their site only to be confounded by the language string error –

Phpmailer Language string failed to load

Having just resolved the problem myself, I thought I would just document my remedy in the hopes that it will save someone else some time.

One solution I found in my search was altering the include path using a statement like –

set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . "/path_to_class/class/phpmailer");

But this change did not correct the problem for me. I looked further into the phpmailer documentation and found the SetLanguage method. I added the following lines to my code and the problem was resolved.

$lang_path = "/path_to_class_directory/class/phpmailer/language/"; 
$lang_type = "en"; 
$mail->SetLanguage($lang_type, $lang_path);
