The SendGrid extension enables MediaWiki to send emails through SendGrid's API service.
Installation
edit- Download and move the extracted
SendGrid
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/SendGrid - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'SendGrid' );
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
composer update
in extensions/SendGrid/
folder so that composer can pick up and install the required SendGrid dependencies for the extension to run smoothly.Configuration
editYou need to have an account on www.sendgrid.com
and a valid API key in order to successfully send emails via SendGrid using this extension.
Instructions to generate an API key can be found in the SendGrid API key documentation.
Configuration on MediaWiki-Vagrant
editOnce your MediaWiki-Vagrant environment is setup correctly, do the following to get SendGrid to work properly with your new environment;
- On your terminal, run:
vagrant roles enable sendgrid
.
In your SendGrid account settings, generate an API key. With a valid API Key, configure your API key in LocalSettings.php :
$wgSendGridAPIKey = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE";
If you're using this extension with SMTP, make sure to configure your SMTP like below:
$wgSMTP = [
'host'=> "smtp.yoursmtp.org",
'IDHost' => "yourhost.org",
'port' => 587,
'auth' => true,
'username' => "yourSMTPusername",
'password' => "yourSMTPpassword"
];
Test your settings
editGo to Special:EmailUser
and send an email to your own address to verify that the extension is working. You'll receive an email from the address you inputed and check to see if it's sent via the SendGrid API (for example; Your Name example@domain.com via sendgrid.net
).
Usage by production wikis
editThis extension is used by wikis listed here: https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Extension:SendGrid (via WikiApiary)
Errors or exceptions
editIf your email fails to send and throws an exception, make sure that $wgPasswordSender matches the email sender identifier used in your SendGrid account.
