Can't edit nodebb-plugin-emailer-local settings

[SPHINX]

Hold on, might have found something on my end...
Yes, firewall blocking the git port. Fixing...

Could you try using git+https://github.com/psychobunny/nodebb-plugin-emailer-local instead, perhaps?

[SPHINX]

@julian Perfect. That will do it. Installed. Now testing...

[SPHINX]

Settings page now visible for emailer local.
Still waiting for an email to make it through to confirm things are working.

[SPHINX]

No sign of any emails making it out of NodeBB.

I am using exim4 (locally obviously). Sending from a shell prompt using the 'mail' command works fine, so I have to assume it works.

Best way to debug NodeBB issues?

[SPHINX]

Right, so from the log:

warn: [emailer.smtp] Unable to send reset email to uid 2!!

[SPHINX]

Debugging complete. Found the following error: 503 AUTH command used when not advertised

So to hack a fix, I had to comment out the 'auth' portion of the nodemailerTransport config object in index.js (lines 24-27).

Long route to get there, but emails are now working.
Thanks for your help. Hopefully things are smoother with the next stable release.
I should probably fork and do a nicer fix for others to use. Will add to my todo list.

If anyone else needs the (nicer) fix, here it is:

npm install git+https://github.com/SPHINX--/nodebb-plugin-emailer-local

@SPHINX Thanks! I've opened up a pull request back to @psychobunny's repository.

Merged. I don't know why I didn't notice the notification for this. Thanks!
