Setup Laravel Queues for VaahCMS

Follow the following steps:

Set QUEUE_CONNECTION to database in your active env file
Visit Setting > General > Site Settings > Laravel Queues in your backend dashboard and enable it.
Run or setup cron/daemon job for
php artisan queue:work --queue=high,medium,low,default --env=env_filename
If you want to run without cache use following command:
php artisan queue:listen --queue=high,medium,low,default --env=env_filename eg:
php artisan queue:listen --queue=high,medium,low,default --env=develop

If you make any changes in code of your Job class, then you must restart the queue:work command.

By default VaahCMS does not use Laravel queues/jobs to schedule the mail. Hence, mails will be send immediately.

VaahMail::dispatchGenericMail($subject, $message, $to, $from_email, 
                              $from_name, $cc, $bcc, $priority);

Name	Description
`$subject`	Subject of the email
`$message`	Content of the message, it can have `html` tags
`$to`	List of recipients in array format.
`$from_email`	From email, if it's not set, then it will try to get the `domain` from `APP_URL` and add `noreply`. Eg: `noreply@<domain>`
`$from_name`	From name, if it's not set, the name will be taken from `APP_NAME`
`$cc`	List of `cc` recipients in array format.
`$bcc`	List of `bcc` recipients in array format.

Eg: An example of $to , $cc and $bcc is following:

$contacts = [
  ['email' => 'email@example.com', 'name' => 'name'],
  ['email' => 'email2@example.com'],
]

VaahMail::dispatch($mail, $to, $cc, $bcc, $priority);

$mail should an instance of Laravel Mail Illuminate\Mail\Mailable class.
$to is the array of recipient:
$priority it is the order of execution of the jobs. You can provide following values high, medium low & default

$user = User::find(1);
VaahMail::dispatchToUser($mail, $user, $cc, $bcc, $priority);

User::notifySuperAdmins($subject, $message);

If you want to send the mails without Laravel queues, you can use following code

VaahMail::send($mail, $to, $cc, $bcc);

To customize the default Laravel mail & notification template you must publish the asset, using following commands:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-mail

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-notifications

This will publish files under resources/views/vendor/mail directory. To update the UI of the VaahCMS Mails, you can edit following file:

resources/views/vendor/mail/html/header.blade.php

resources/views/vendor/mail/html/footer.blade.php

resources/views/vendor/mail/html/themes/default.css
