Description

The biggest bug I've found is the formatting of the emails. There is a duplication of data and it runs true for all email notifications as well as the notifications when comments are made to the respective platform.

A choppy run down:

When posting in the forum, email notifications show duplicated data (see screenshot 1). Reply by email is working fine.

When posting a file, email notifications show duplicated data (see screenshot 1) No reply by email.

When creating a paper, email notifications show duplicated data (see screenshot 1)
When updating a paper there seems to be a small glitch with the paragraph that had been updated (see screenshot 2).
There are no notifications when a "response" is made to a paper.
Reply by email for Papers notifications does not appear to be functioning.

There is no email notification for group announcements.
Also to note, there is also a tiny error when making a first announcement, the "no announcements yet" bar will not go away and this holds true even if you make multiple announcements. If you exit and come back to announcements, this goes away (see screenshot 3)

When creating a doc, email notifications show duplicated data (see screenshot 1)
When you post a new doc it doesn't follow the same conventions as a forum email notification. When posting a new doc, the title is shown but none of the content is shown which differs from posting a new forum topic. Forum post show the title and all of the forum content This is not true for Docs (see screenshot 4). However, I notice that this is also true for email notifications when a new Social Paper is created. Perhaps this was intentional?
Reply by email for Docs is not functioning. However, you can reply to a comment on the doc by email.

When creating an event, email notification show duplicated data (see screenshot 1)
There is no commenting on events which is slightly confusing only because of the View/Reply button that is standard in the email notifications.

Let me know if you have any questions about any of this! I hope it's useful.

Hi Paige - Thanks for the rundown. I think that a number of these are not bugs, but unimplemented features. Let me try to break them out:

When posting a file ... No reply by email.
Reply by email for Papers notifications does not appear to be functioning.
When you post a new doc it doesn't follow the same conventions as a forum email notification. When posting a new doc, the title is shown but none of the content is shown which differs from posting a new forum topic.
Reply by email for Docs is not functioning.

I think that none of these has been implemented. Several of them are good ideas, and probably warrant enhancement tickets.

A couple of issues might be cases where the email was intentionally withheld because we often don't send email notifications to the user who performed the activity. Can you verify that in each of the following cases, you were testing with a second email account?

There are no notifications when a "response" is made to a paper.
There is no email notification for group announcements.

The duplicate content issues, and the character encoding in screenshot 2, do appear to be legitimate bugs. Ray, could I ask you to have a look please?

Ugh, apologies for this, Paige.

There were some plugins that needed to be deactivated before the new HTML emails could take effect properly on cdev.

Can you try again and let me know if you run into any other problems?

I just tested a group forum post and some formatting issues on the original email and the rbe posted response. Screenshots are attached.

Hey Ray,

No problem, I'll try again and get back to you.

Hey all,

I'm getting double notifications now from the testing environment and the normal CAC site? See Double Emails 1 and 2 png's below.

But the formatting looks good on the new notifications!

Also, I'm getting a weird thing with the left hand menu. the Papers tab keeps appearing and then disappearing (see missing papers tab png). The group has papers tied to it because I've just re-tested notifications for leaving a response on a paper and that is now working properly. See, "Missing papers tab png" After I found the paper by using the homepage nav. I was able to find and comment on my groups paper, THEN the tab reappeared in the left hand menu in my group.

When leaving a comment for a doc. I'm also hitting a tiny issue. When I try to leave a comment it sends me the fail message (See fail message png.) and then after refreshing the page will show the comment that the comment was posted. See (posting a doc comment png).

I did not realize that you had to select the button below a group announcement for the announcement to be sent to all of your group members. So maybe that was my problem with not receiving email notifications yesterday in regards to the announcements.

Other than that the previous issues I had from this ticket seem to be resolved.

Thank you, Paige!

Would you mind opening new tickets for the following?

1. Papers tab behavior
2. Duplicate message for Doc comment

I don't think they're 1.10 regressions, and in any case they're bound to get lost in the shuffle here.

Let's continue to use this ticket for 1.10 email notifications issues - maybe Ray will have some insight into why you got both a plaintext and an HTML notification of the same activity item.
