Thank you all for posting this plugin! I just upgraded our site's NodeBB to v1.5.3, and was pleasantly surprised to see that this plugin is now fully functional. This was one of my favorite features from the beginning of NodeBB.

Oh, I see! And I just saw your reply appear.

Great! I'll wait until 1.5.0.

Also, as I was watching this thread with my browser open, I noticed that it didn't auto-refresh when there was a new reply. I remember the old version used to do that in real time whenever someone replied and your browser window was open. Will that feature come back too?

Hi guys! I have been out working on other aspects of Expii for several months, and am coming back to our NodeBB installation. Time to upgrade to your new versions.

I am curious: how far along is the support for real time display of users viewing the same thread as you?

Thanks @baris for working on this!

Thanks for your quick reply! I had not been following your release schedule closely. When might you anticipate that release happening? I don't mean to rush you, and will use that information to decide when to inform our groups.

Hooray!

Thanks for letting me know! Over the weekend, we have attracted a number of groups who are looking at our NodeBB-powered forum with significant interest. The feedback has been uniformly enthusiastic, and people have not seen anything like this before!

Will this plugin be compatible with NodeBB v1.3.0, or will we need to wait for the next release? I will install it as soon as it becomes available and stable, as I think it is immensely impactful.

Thank you for working on this!

Thank you for your quick reply! It was extremely helpful.

I have added the 1-line fix to map your from_name field to SendGrid's API. I submitted a PR to the nodebb-plugin-emailer-sendgrid GitHub repo, so that hopefully others can benefit too. This is the first time I have submitted a PR to an open source project, so I hope I did the procedure correctly.

The 1-line fix works on our installation, and I am now receiving emails which have a proper From name!

By the way, @baris, it appears that your deployment of SendGrid here in community.nodebb.org also does not put a human-readable "From" name when it sends email. The header is simply:

From: sales@nodebb.org

Is this considered to be a bug in the plugin, or does this happen with all mailer plugins? @teh_g with your Mailgun plugin do the emails come with a From name in addition to the bare email address, like this instead?

From: "Forum Team" forum@site.org

Thanks again for your assistance. I now have emailing set up on our NodeBB installation, and this is great! We're using SendGrid. Everything has gone extremely smoothly, except for one item: it seems that the "From" field only shows the bare email address, without the human-readable display name, even though I have set the field appropriately in your Admin Control Panel, in Email Settings > From Name. Do you know if this is a known bug in the plugin?

Thank you!
