    • Email notification on watched pages not working

    Posted by DavidCramer posts: 5

    On my tikiwiki installation (1.8, Red Hat Linux 9, apache 2.0, php-4.2.2-17.2), when I watch a page (click on the eyeball--the eyeball changes to eyeball with line), I still don't receive a mail when another user changes it. However, if I click the 'forgot my password' link I do get an email. I have "User watches" turned on at the Administration page.

    Are there any other features I need to enable?

    Thanks,
    David

    Hi,

    Is it maybe going into any kind of spam filtering system?

    I'll check the code on the save page routine and see if theres any other requirements.

    Ok, email notification is basically working, but I'm seeing what I think is a bug. Steps to reproduce:

    1. Log in using different browsers (I was using Safari and IE on a mac) as two different users.
    2. Create a page as User1 and click the Watch icon.
    3. Quickly Alt+Tab to the other browser (where you're logged in as User2), go to the new page and change it.
    4. Check User1's mail and notice that you didn't get an email.
    5. After a minute or two has passed, go back to User2's browser and change the page again.
    6. Check User1's email again and notice that you did receive a notification of the second change.


    That's certainly not going to occur often in real life, but I thought I'd point it out.

    Btw., where should I log bug reports generally? I'm noticing a strangeness when I save a pdf from Safari (apple's browser). I get a good pdf, but I have to change the name to add .pdf in order to be able to double click and open it in the pdf reader. I notice that if I make the pdf from Explorer on the mac, the pdf comes out with the .pdf extension.

    Thanks,
    David

    hiya,

    you could try adding a die; statement to lib/tikilib.php at line 4776 to make sure its getting there to perform the updates.

    Does the page actually appear under your Watches on your My Tiki toolbar?

    Hi David,
    I never heard of such watches problems yet. Bug reports are at SourceForge, see ReportBug.
