No Sound or Sound Settings? / Email

Sampo2910

Hi All,

Where are the sound settings? I am totally new to nodebb but whilst installing ( a previous version) I am sure i had seen the sound settings in admin? Now in 17.2 I dont and there are no sounds in chat for example.

So many plugins to choose from but guessing i need to install? Which one?

Also what do i need to install email sender for verification etc I Made a test account and nothing send.. I send a test email (using custom mail.com smtp settings) but noting comes.

Sorry for noobness.

PS Default Soundpack is enabled.

Sounds were removed from core and are available in https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-soundpack-default

Latest version is 2.0.0

@baris How to update? I need to deactivate this and uninstall first? And why does it say latest is 1.0 ?

Again sorry for noobness.....

@sampo2910 Not sure why its suggesting 1.0.0 as latest since you are on 1.17.2 it should show 2.0.0.

Anyways you can install latest with npm i [email protected]

./nodebb stop
npm i [email protected] --save
./nodebb build
./nodebb start

Sounds settings should be on the user settings page.

@baris

Nothing there at all...I searched everywhere and absolute ZIP for sound lol...Nothing..

UPDATE: Found...I thought you meant users settings in General..Not personal user settings. Thanks...

Now need to get email working.

Sampo2910

Sound Is Sorted. But what is everyone using and recommend for an email service. ?

I have a mail.com account but added the smtp settings and nothing worked... SO now I have made a sendgrid account and added the API Key.

Dont have a clue how to set up and to be honest I dont need sendgrid..I dont have that kind of traffic. What is the best easiest option for this. So users get a verification email etc.

Thanks.

Did you enable the SMTP emailer? Have you checked the logs? What didn't work? Did you try a test email? Did you get an error response? Did you check your spam folder?

@pitaj

Yes; Yes & Yes

Ok i binned sendgrid and went back to the default built in.

It is working now but only if i use Connection Security as 'None' ?

Is that going to be a problem..

@sampo2910 of None is the only option that works, then that's probably the only one your email provider supports. It should be fine as long as you don't need your emails to be perfectly secure.
