See correction below. Point 1 is an inconvenience
(i.e. having to reenter your id with each comment); Point 2 is more of a
concern. From: Lee Won We have just installed CodeStriker 1.9.0.beta2 and I’m
having problems getting with email generation. I configured the system to generate emails when comments are
added and when the topic state is change. I created a topic and assigned a
reviewer. Emails were generated properly at this point. However, the
following happens: 1) When my
reviewer adds a comment, the add comment screen is not pre-populated with the
reviewer’s email address. He must retype it in each time he
adds a comments which is a PAIN (note: if you enter an invalid address, no
email is sent and there does not seem to be any error notification that this
has happened). According to the user manual, what is supposed to happen is:
“your email address is
remembered in the browser's cookie, to prevent you from having to enter it each
time you make a comment”. This is obviously not happening. CORRECTION:
email does get sent even though an invalid email address is entered for the “Your
email” field. 2)
If the reviewer changes the topic
state, an email is properly sent to the author but the text of the email says
“The following changes were made by an unknown user from host (unknown)
and address <ip address of reviewer’s machine>”. Again, it
looks like it’s not able to get an email address from the browser’s
cookie. We also discovered that once my
reviewer created a topic of his own in which he has to explicitly specify his
email address, the two scenarios above then starts working fine. Also, if
he later creates another topic and enters a different email address, that new
email address is the one that now gets use for subsequent add comment screen
autopopulation and topic state change notification. It looks like the
cookie that remembers your email address gets set (and reset) on topic
creation. Is there another way to configure/set one’s email address
without actually doing a topic creation? BTW: The browser used was Internet
Explorer version 6.0.2800.1106. It is set up to accept cookies from the
CodeStriker server and it looks like its accepting cookies properly. |
