email notification #78

Closed AlbertFR closed 9 years ago

AlbertFR commented 10 years ago

a really good enhancement would be an automatic email notification on change for all others board members

kiswa commented 10 years ago

I'll look into it. I'm not sure what the best implementation would be considering it's self-hosted.

captainwasabi commented 10 years ago

Self hosted should be ok, you'd just need to specify the server name, port, username, and password, and the FROM name (which could be different than the username.) Take a look at how ssmtp is set up. However, I would definitely want to control what events and boards I got email from (I get a couple hundred emails a day as it is) with a single selection to turn off ALL email. If you can take a look at the way Bugzilla's email prefs work.

@kiswa PHPMailer is very powerful library for sending emails (https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer)

kernle32dll commented 9 years ago

:+1: +1 This could be set up like the triggers, so board admins can specify which mails are send on which actions. Also, like captainwasabi said - this should be possible to be turned off (as a user setting). Maybe something like "receive mails from board".

Maybe it is worse to check how this is done in owncloud. They allow sending emails as well. e.g. for password recovery. Furthermore, an action related automatic email notification would be great. E.g. if I assign or remove users to task that should inform them that there is work waiting for them.

Hi there. :) I'd done it for one of my clients. Add me to contributors, so I'll push it to separate branch and you'll be able to make the merge!

kiswa commented 9 years ago

Anyone can submit a PR against the dev branch. If you have a working solution for this already, I'd be glad to have your PR!

Closing thanks to @Shattenjagger

A new issue will need to be created to fine-tune the email options, but it's at least a thing now!
