Updated by local admin about 11 years ago
The server does b=not force a particular from: header. I'm afraid this may be an application level issue. I would recommend re-assigning to the dev team, while I'll remain on stand-by to help troubleshoot.

Okay -- thanks, Andre. Reassigning to Boone. Not a huge deal, but may be worth a quick look.

I assume that the email header is being set as such because the "event" object was originally added at http://gcenglish.commons.gc.cuny.edu/events/experiements-in-design-fiction/. If so, the email header is behaving as expected. The real question is why that event was added to the activity stream of the DHI group at all. Ray, assigning this to you for now, though I'll have a look if you don't get a chance.

Interesting -- this just happened again. Please see the attached screenshot of an email notification.

The Events Manager plugin has some type of BuddyPress integration. It's quite possible that there is a conflict happening somewhere.
Matt, would it be possible to ask Amanda how she created this event with complete steps to duplicate?

Hi Matt,
I took a closer look at the Events Manager plugin.
It is quite possible that Amanda selected a group when creating an event from the admin area. See the attached screenshot.
If that is the case, then that is how the event got added to the BP group.
Updated by Matt Gold about 11 years ago
Hi Ray --
from Amanda:
for both the Kraus and Dwyer events I simply filled out this form:
http://gcenglish.commons.gc.cuny.edu/submit-an-event/
Exactly as indicated.
Updated by Raymond Hoh about 11 years ago
I don't have access to that form, but I've checked my local install of Events Manager and there is a field to attach an event to a BP group, so this is working as intended by the plugin.
As for the "From" name, we made the decision to allow sub-sites to use their own site name in #2152.
How do we want to address this?
Updated by Boone Gorges about 11 years ago
- Tracker changed from Bug to Feature
- Subject changed from Confusing Email Header to BP emails sent from secondary sites should use main site headers
- Target version changed from 1.4.24 to 1.5
Thanks, Ray.
The form at http://gcenglish.commons.gc.cuny.edu/submit-an-event/ has a group selection dropdown. Though Amanda's terse description of the steps she went through doesn't mention selecting an item from this dropdown, I'm assuming that she did. So the plugin is working as expected.
As for the email headers, we have a blanket function that is designed to allow secondary sites (sites other than the main commons.gc.cuny.edu) to define their own email headers. Since the event creation is taking place in the context of the secondary blog, we use the name of the current blog, which in this case is the GC ESA.
I guess in theory, it'd be nice for us to be a little more discriminating about this: any BP email, whether sent from a secondary blog or the main blog, should have commons.gc.cuny.edu headers. But it's not obvious to me how to make this happen in a non-obtrusive way. Since it's a minor issue, I'm moving this to the 1.5 milestone for further discussion.

Hi Ray: can you chime in with your decision on this issue? We want to include a fix for this in the upcoming major release and need to make a decision soon. Thanks!

Agreed.
The only thing I can think of is overriding the "From" name when Event Manager adds a group activity event. Let me know what you think, Boone.

Yeah, I suppose this sounds fine. I think Events Manager is the only plugin that's causing this, so we may as well have a targeted solution. Could I ask you to have a look and see if there is an obvious place to hook into EM's process to make the change? If it seems like it's going to be complicated, let me know and we can consider moving it to the next major release.

Fixed in commit 7c82d00.
Boone, I put the commit in 1.4.x branch because all email-related hooks were in 1.4.x and not in the master branch.
