role IDs for default email templates

[bozana]

The role IDs in emailTemplates.xml and DB table email_templates_default should be adapted/migrated... It seems like they are not used?

@bozana, just FYI, those were purely informational -- they were used to show who the sender and recipients were in the Prepared Emails list.

Hmm. As you see in the screenshot on #2906, for most of the default templates, Sender and Receiver are set as "Subscription Manager", which is plain wrong. Neither sender nor receiver can be changed, or when a new template is added, configured.
For an editorial team to set this up this might be disturbing. Either remove those columns (if not used anymore), or add an option to edit them.

Hi,
I'm totally with @mpbraendle on this: absence of information is better then wrong information. In 3.0.1 not all column were filled but those who were had wright information, see: https://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/t/prepared-emails-sender-recipient-has-subscription-manager/35967?u=pnault

We use the latest version, 3.1.1.2, but we have the same problem. We cannot change sender, nor who is "signing" the letter. For instance, if an editor invite a new referee, the REVIEWER_REGISTER template is sent by the editor, but at the end of the letter the principal contact name appears. I tried to change it to ${editorialContactName} without success. Also, I cannot put a Dear "NAME" to the beginning, but I don't see why.

Is there any solution to these?

@tothbog, I don't think that's related to this issue, which specifically deals with the numeric role_ids for display in the email listing. I'd suggest posting your question on our support forum (http://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/).

Ok, sorry, I did not realize that. Thanks, I will post there.

This has been fixed as part of #2906.
