Joomla 3.x Troubleshooter. “TM Ajax Contact Form” module stopped working after engine update to Joomla 3.5.x version

This tutorial shows how to get rid of the phpmailerException: Invalid address error after engine update to Joomla 3.5.x version.

1. Please, open modules/mod_tm_ajax_contact_form/helper.php file in your editor.

   

2. There are two versions of code structure in helper.php file.

   Example 1. Replace the following code:

   if(isset($_POST['email']))
   $sender = array($email, $name);
   else
   $sender = $name;
   $mail->setSender($sender);
   $mail->addRecipient($recipient);
   if(isset($cc_email))
   $mail->addCC($cc_email);
   if(isset($bcc_email))
   $mail->addBCC($bcc_email);
   $mail->setSubject($subject);
   $mail->isHTML(true);
   $mail->Encoding = 'base64';
   $mail->setBody($formcontent);

   With the following:

   if(isset($email)){
   $mail->setSender($email, $name);	
   }
   else{
   $mail->setSender($name);
   }	
   $mail->addRecipient($recipient);
   if(isset($cc_email) && $cc_email>0){
   $mail->addCC($cc_email);
   }
   if(isset($bcc_email) && $bcc_email>0)
   $mail->addBCC($bcc_email);
   }
   $mail->setSubject($subject);
   $mail->isHTML(true);
   $mail->Encoding = 'base64';
   $mail->setBody($formcontent);

   Example 2. Replace the following code:

   if(isset($cc_email)) $mail->addCC($cc_email);
   if(isset($bcc_email)) $mail->addBCC($bcc_email);
   if(isset($subject)) $mail->setSubject($subject);

   With the following:

   if(isset($cc_email) && $cc_email>0){
   $mail->addCC($cc_email);
   }
   if(isset($bcc_email) && $bcc_email>0){
   $mail->addBCC($bcc_email);
   }
   if(isset($subject)){
   $mail->setSubject($subject);			}

3. Save changes and re-upload an updated file. Refresh the page and submit contact form. It works fine now.
