[2.1.6] Email notification

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi!
I'm having trouble to get the email notifications to work. It's probably me who does something wrong but since I do not get any messages in the logs (neither email-log or tomcat-logs) I'm having trouble to find out whats wrong. Where can I change the log-level so that I can se whats wrong?

Thanks in advance
Roland

Have you double checked your mail settings? Take a look in the mail.* keys at SystemGlobals.properties / jforum-custom.conf

I'm having the same problem. I've already checked both files, and I can see than the changes made at Admin Panel just changes the jforum-custom.conf file, not the SystemGlobal.properties.

Is it correct? Should I change it manually? The .conf file was changed absolutelly correctly, the .properties is untouched!

See you Rafael... ;)

All changes made from the Admin Panel are written to jforum-custom.conf. It is merged with SystemGlobals.properties

I am having a similar problem with my installation. I have double checked my settings in both the jforum-custom.conf and the SystemGlobals.properties file. The odd thing is that I have set "Requires user to authenticate email" to TRUE and I receive those emails just fine.

Any ideas?

I had a similar problem (with 2.1.7). I was receiving all emails except the new reply and new topic ones. They were generating a java io exception (found in apache logs) because the emails were set to be sent with a blank content field.

I traced the problem to the needCustomization flag being set to true, but customization only taking place when the SMTP connection required authentication (which mine does not).

I simply copied the if (this.needCustomization){} if statement from the authenticated smtp section to the non-authenticated smtp section (in spammer.dispatchMessages() ) and all works perfectly.

Has this happened to other people? Is there some other place that non-authenticated smtp connections are supposed to call processTemplate() and defineMessageText()?

This problem is fixed in version 2.1.8 (to be released).

I have just installed 2.1.8 and found that email notification is working only for replies posted.
The same is not working for New topics being posted.

Can anyone help me to fix this?

Hi,

So this means that:
1) if you deploy your app as a war file, you lose your config changes after each app server restart
2) if you have more than one jforum app sharing the same DB (cluster), you must make the changes to each node.

How about saving the changes mage to SystemGlobals in the file AND in the jforum_config table. When reading a config property the application would get its value from the DB first and fall back on the default value from the config file.


Or is there a way to achieve this with the current version?

the VariableStore interface doesn't define a method to save a property, so I cannot supply my own store.

Thanks,

t.
