Sending invitations results in error

[opnoack]

Hello,

sending an invitation after default installation results in an error in log:

How can sending emails be configured properly?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

This information is indeed missing from the README.md file, we will add it soon.
To configure the mail feature, you need to create a document in the mongo collection configuration, as below:

{
    "_id" : "mail",
    "mail" : {
        "noreply" : "noreply@yourserver.com"
    },
    "transport" : {
        "type" : "SMTP",
        "config" : {
            "host" : "smtp.yourserver.com",
            "secureConnection" : false,
            "port" : 25
        }
    },
    "feedback" : {
        "rcpt" : [ 
            "hublin@yourserver.com"
        ]
    }
}

Where smtp.yourserver.com must be replaced by an actual SMTP server that you have access to, optionally defining an authentication if required by the SMTP server.
hubl.in is actually using nodemailer to send emails, so you'll find all possible confifuration settings on the project page @ https://github.com/andris9/nodemailer-smtp-transport.

The feedback.rcpt property is used by the feedback form on the home page. Feedback emails will be sent to these recipients.

Thank you very much for providing this information. Sending invitations is now working.

Sadly the URLs in the email are forwarding me to hubl.in and not to the host I am running hublin on. Is there a way to dynamically adjust the URL and not make it static? I ask because we want to start some test instances of hublin on randomly generated subdomains.

Unfortunately, this is not currently configurable :(
But don't worry, we'll add this to the mongo configuration very soon (you can watch the Jira ticket https://ci.open-paas.org/jira/browse/MEET-265 to know when this is done).

In the meantime, the only thing you can do is sed the file templates/email/invitation/html.jade and replace all occurrences of hubl.in in links to something else.

Thank you again for this information. I will use the workaround until it gets fixed.
