[nodebb-plugin-contact-page] A contact form

@sampo2910 Odd. Did you specify an email addres to send to in the plugin settings ? I don't actually use this plugin myself, so not sure of it's structure.

[Sampo2910]

Things only appear in events like that if it is welcome template sent...

If you try any other template 'banned' for example or 'test' then nothing comes in the events list.

So whatever email you are setting up you just dont know if it is working because only certain templates work?? For me it is the welcome one it seems.

Expect a bit better than this to be honest. I have tried Gmail, iCloud and two custom ones and it is all the same.

Yes on the contact page plugin. But the normal email settings none of this is working either now.

Was fine before yesterday to 18.2

@sampo2910 Perhaps something in the upgrade to 18.2 broke it ?

@phenomlab

Its turning into a joke now lol...

Now i get invalid login...I am 100% CORRECT with passwords etc..

Can somebody please tell me the easiest option here and a guide how to do it. If i need to set up a new email address somewhere I will. The options in the drop downs are NOT working.

Of course I need an email account for the site and that email can be properly contacted from the contact page. (currently not displayed for obvious reasons)

[Sampo2910]

Its just one thing after another...I am missing a trick here...also now noticed that the forum time is not what the server time is....

[PitaJ]

Can you please take a screenshot of your email settings page? Feel free to block out any sensitive info.

This is how it is at the moment. I am using an alias iCloud email with an app specific password. If i use my main iCloud email password I get the same results. So i don't know whats what? If i use the option iCloud in the drop down it also does not work.

@sampo2910 have you tried switching from start tls to encrypted? I looked up iCloud settings and saw TLS was required.

[PitaJ]

Have you set up an app-specific password?

[Sampo2910]

I have set up an app specific password and I have also used TLS as in the picture above. I will try encrypted again but I think I already did.

[Sampo2910]

After switching to encypted

[Sampo2910]

Can you just tell me the easiest provider to use and how to setup...i do not need sendgrid as the forum is small...

Am i right in thinking it could be a port set up??

Thanks.

So probably the mail library doesn't support the tls version the server is using. But just a guess.

It could be something to do with iCloud. Have you had success with any other email?

Shouldn't be ports. Where is it hosted, on a VPS? If so the ports shouldn't be a problem.

I use my own self hosted email without issue, starttls etc.

[Sampo2910]

@enot
Yeah on a server at home with me..

I run some gaming servers on it and the forum etc.

It was working ok. Now it is not. So I dont have a clue. I will try and go back and use mail.com again and see. But i dont think it will work.

[Sampo2910]

@enot

Tried about 4 different providers/methods..dont work after i updated to 18.2 yesterday

[PitaJ]

This sounds like a big with 18.2, open an issue on GitHub please

[Sampo2910]

@pitaj

Issue opened on Github too..but I am still no further.

Basically my forum is pretty useless right now.

Hi - I'm a little late to the plate here - sorry

Would it be possible to provide hCaptcha for this instead of reCaptcha ?

Hi,

Sorry, I was not active on this forum.
I will look when I have time available!

@sampo2910 said in [nodebb-plugin-contact-page] A contact form:

I am even later...

I would like this to work...All seems ok...but when i do a test and click on send nothing happens???

Any ideas folks

Hi,

I published 6 days ago an update to fix an issue on the client side with the latest version of NodeBB.
But your problem seem different, like PitaJ said it look like the issue come from the sendMail fonction of NodeBB.
