Resend invitation email (assigned)

[djahnie]

I want to add Maxi to foodsharing Wurzen. I sent her an invitation months ago, but she said she never received it.

I'd like to have a possibility to resend the invitation email. E.g with a pop-up that warns me that an invitation was already sent to this address, but still offers me to do it again.

LOL after putting great emphasis on the fact that she'd never have overlooked a mail, an hour ago Maxi joined foodsharing Wurzen...^^
So the personally perceived immediate urgency of this issue is gone for me now... 😉

Doesn't the invite expire after a while? Then it can be send again. But I'm not completely sure, need to check in the backend.

[tiltec]

Yes, can confirm: invitations expire after 14 days and get removed from the server. Sending again is possible then.

(There might be a chance that the invitations gets not removed from the server because the removal is only triggered when somebody else sends an invitation.)

I guess it would still be sensible to allow sending invitations again a bit earlier. Will leave this as a feature request.

[djahnie]

Erm okay, that is really strange then... I definitely sent this invitation longer ago than 14 days. And when I tried to do it again I directly got the error message. Could it be that karrot sent the mail anyways, or that I double-clicked and that was enough? Cause otherwise I really don't understand what happened here... 😅

[tiltec]

Yes, indeed you sent out the mail some days ago. Probably the earlier invitation was expired and it was possible to send the invitation again. It seems like a frontend bug.

[tiltec]

I guess that could be a starter task: implement frontend and backend parts to allow for (limited) resending of invitation emails.

I would imagine to allow resending 1 hour after the invitation has been sent.

Can I start working on it?

Hi @mvellasco, welcome! Yes, this seems a good task to get started with.
If you have any questions, you can ask them here or in our Slack channel (see Readme file)

Hello @tiltec, thank you for the welcome! I'm just wrapping up the code, and I'll submit a PR on the next day or so.
