How to send emails #34

Closed dillwishlist closed 3 years ago

dillwishlist commented 3 years ago

What URL or shell command should be used to send emails for save the dates or invitations? Is there a way to test send?

ataylor-orcsd-org commented 3 years ago

I found this on your blog write up. Is there any way to do this through the web interface by chance?

python3 ./manage.py send_save_the_dates --send --mark-sent

czue commented 3 years ago

That's right. Not currently possible via the web interface though probably reasonably easy to add. Out of curiosity, what's the need for doing it there?

dillwishlist commented 3 years ago

Gotcha. I was searching for how to send emails and such. If someone else wanted to press the "Send" button like my non-programmer wife, a GUI button is much easier than teaching her how to SSH into the server. Not a big deal though.

Would you mind if I put this answer in a WiKi page?

czue commented 3 years ago

Ah that makes sense. Spouses! :upside_down_face: (In my defense, my wife also codes)

Sounds great to put on a wiki page.

dillwishlist commented 3 years ago

Looks like I can't create the initial WiKi page, would you mind creating one and I'll fill it out?

czue commented 3 years ago

sure! https://github.com/czue/django-wedding-website/wiki

dillwishlist commented 3 years ago

Would you mind allowing contributors to edit the wiki in settings? I'm also happy to put in wiki changes as issues/PRs if you'd prefer. Thanks!

czue commented 3 years ago

done! (I think) Sorry first time using github wikis

dillwishlist commented 3 years ago

That worked. Basic FAQ added, I'll add more as I come across them. Thanks again!

czue commented 3 years ago

Awesome, thanks for the contribution!
