I've noticed my UserProfile Birthday Schedule task now breaks in DNN 4.3.4 due to the fact that it can't get an instance of the PortalSettings with GetCurrentPortalSettings();
I think this is a new feature as previously I could send emails from the Scheduler.

"
UserProfileBirthday failed.System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings()
   at DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendMail(String MailFrom, String MailTo, String Cc, String Bcc, MailPriority Priority, String Subject, MailFormat BodyFormat, Encoding BodyEncoding, String Body, String "

I am aware of Joe Brinkman's blog on getting the current context, but how do I get the PortalSettings to pass into the SendMail method in the scheduler (some sort of loop through all the Portals I guess?)

This is very strange - it seems as though the core Events module sends mail in the SendEventNotifications() method - but wont this method also fall over as it has no portal settings?

Rodney -

I just started with the scheduler and managed to get it working in my first custom module. Now I'm trying to use Portal-specific details to send with a mail from the scheduler. Did you ever get this working?

I've read Joe's post about context in a scheduled item. How would I go about grabbing the HostSettings to get the SMTP settings as well as inject some portal-specific text into each mail?

Hope you can help.

Cheers
