@spMohanty can this be done in the next day or two?

spMohanty commented 9 years ago

@elliec : Can you let me know what the reply address for the email should be ? usually its "noreply@geotagx.org".

Should I use the geotagx@cern.ch email address as reply address for the email ?

elliec commented 9 years ago

@spMohanty you can use that, however im not sure I will use this for messages that need replying. I think its better to leave the no reply and if i have to i can mention in the email how they can contact us if need-be

Implemented in the commits : https://github.com/geotagx/pybossa/commit/dabf1f142600fbc00bd78185fb9e0a056a51bdee , https://github.com/geotagx/pybossa/commit/7c0057ff107d11d298c3beb64f5a901a26547617 , https://github.com/geotagx/geotagx-theme/commit/29eb5eecd2619cd32401d780d9ef5e87180af7fc )

(Copying contents from our email on this thread, so that it can be used as reference in the future) @elliec : You can now send a newsletter using this interface : http://geotagx.org/geotagx/newsletter (Can access the link through the Admin site)

It has something called as the Debug Mode. When it is checked, it sends the email to the list of recipients configured in the GEOTAGX_NEWSLETTER_DEBUG_EMAIL_LIST in settings_local.py file. (Note: If you change any keys in settings_local.py, it is always advisable to restart the server to make sure the new changes take effect. You can restart the server by /etc/init.d/apache2 restart )

If you uncheck the Debug Mode, then it sends an email to all the users of the site. Have not tested sending out newsletters to all the users. But should work in principle. Give it a go, and let me know if there are any glitches.
