"Send copies of activity in tracker to e-mail..." blank => mail sent with blank "To:" field
It happens to me with Tiki 1.9.0.

I've got two trackers. At their admin screen, I have the option:
"Send copies of all activity in this tracker to this e-mail address:" filled with a valid e-mail address (email1), and the second oone with an empty field there. I have them both monitored with my email address as user in the tiki site (email2).

When there is a new item created for the first tracker, I get two email messages. one to each email adress (email one, and email2)

When there is a new item created for the second tracker, I get just one email message. the one to email2. But hte problem is that the system admin in my server gets a message with an empty "To:" field.

It seems as if messages from "Send copies of all activity in this tracker to this e-mail address:" are attempted to be sent, even if there is no email entry there...
Could this be the cause of the problem?

An example of the wrong email headers here:
I'm using catalan l10n of Tiki, and "Damian-based" theme style.

Tracker Watch notification if not simple
In the function: function send_replace_item_notifications($args)
in lib/trackers/trackerlib.php, and change to the tracker generates an error and a failure for attempting to assign() to a non-existent object.

The line that generates it is:
$smarty->assign('mail_date', $this->now);

But if I comment that out, the next one generates it - so I think it is all assigns.

The error occurs if: I have a standard "watch" on all tracker activity. I have not tested moving the notification into the tracker setup screen.

To test, I:
1. Manually set $simpleEmail = "y"; error goes away
2. Set the Simple Email flag on the edit tracker prefs screen - error does NOT go away

5.0: since upgrade from 3.x, forum post emails to author missing, from other users ok
We recently upgraded precarios.org site from 3.6 to 5.0 (and migrated to a new server; dns propagating right now).

Since then, when you post a message in a forum that you are watching, you don't get a copy of your own email, but only copies of emails sent by others.

This is expected to allow users to follow a full thread in the email program.

For wiki page changes, you get also notification of your own changes.

5x: tracker comments should allow self-subscribe option for poster, like in forum posts or page comments. Right now, lost of interaction and feedback is lost for users until they learn how to subscribe to tracker items....

That was the same problem in forum posts for years, until some one added that feature to forum posts and wiki comments...
However, it seems that tracker item comments didn't benefit from that enhancement.... and honestly, they deserve it...

Update: {sign user="xavi" datetime="2016-10-11T17:38:28+00:00"}
* emails are duplicated if the user was also selected in a "user selector" type of field, with notifications on. We should check that no duplication of emails is sent: one as commenter, and another one duplicated as user selected in the "user selector" field with notifications on.
See it reproduced in the show instance:
2 emails have been sent in some cases:
http://xavi-9794-3214.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-syslog.php
u: admin
p: 12345

* see tracker field definition:

** note last 3 fields, all of them user selector with email notification on.

Update {sign user="xavi" datetime="2016-10-13T10:40:17+00:00"}
In addition, other systems maybe sending a duplicate of the same email message (see https://doc.tiki.org/Watch ), and we'd better add a system to prevent those duplicated emails to be sent.
To be checked for duplicates (and remove them before sending):
# generic (wildcard-like) user watches through the "__My Watches (UI) > Add Watch > Event__"
# Objects
** user watches on objects
** group watches on objects
# Categories
** user watches on categories
** group watches on categories
# Structures
** user watches on structures
** group watches on structures

I'm usure about category watches. Maybe we can leave those messages also, since they are not 100% equivalent to the other notification emails?
---
Sure, see comments. Issue fixed. {sign user="xavi" datetime="2016-10-14T10:13:36+00:00"}
And duplication of emails was due to some other issue, fixed by kroky6 also (great, thanks!).

add a label like [forum name XXX] in each email from monitorized forum post or thread....
Forums are getting powerful enough to substitute mailing lists on many tiki sites (yahhogroups, etc.). However, notification messages from forums cannot be added easily to local email filters since the subject doesn't contain a label like [[Forum X - site Y] to ease this task.
{CODE()}
[Forum X - site Y]

# Add a select box to monitor each own's forum post or tracker submission at post time, in a "per forum post or tracker item insertion" basis, or

Add group watch to articles

This way we could also have all users informed about comunity news , etc. in tiki sites.

In fact, the best option would be what it's done with newsletters: subscribe that bunch of users from a group, and let them unsubscribe it they wish and when they wish, without admin action. But if no action is done, they all get the copy of the article at their email, etc.

Add label [feature: object] to notification emails from a tiki site: wikipages, forums, trackers...
Right now, all messages from tiki forums of the same tiki site have the same subject. Or all tracker items from different trackers from the same tiki site.
I suggest that notifications from each forum, or tracker, etc., have some label like in e-mail lists [[LABEL], that they look like:
* "[[TRACKERNAME] Current notification subject"
* "[[FORUMNAME] Current notification subject"

Or even better: allow an empty text field to be filled at tracker and forum admin screen where the admin can write the content of the label sent in subjects of notification emails from this feagture/site.

add watch calendar event in tiki-user_watches.php
I know that calendars can be watched by users through links like:

tiki-calendar.php?watch_event=calendar_changed&watch_action=add

But this link doesn't work like this other one:
http://info.tikiwiki.org/tiki-user_watches.php?event=article_submitted&add=Add

I mean, Anonymous users clicking on the first link (calendar watch event, as it is right now), would not be offered any message to login or register first.
With the second link (watch article), the user will be shown the login box to login first, before the action can be executed.

This is to make more easy for new users to know that they can subscribe by email to get info from calendars if they register to that tiki site.

Admin>Login>User defaults or Admin>Groups: Ability to Subscribe new users to specific Tiki objects
It would be lovely to set some new user defaults at
* Admin (home) > Login > User defaults, and/or
* Admin > Groups > (Edit a single group)

The ability to Subscribe/watch/monitor new users in the site or to that specific group, to specific Tiki objects.

Which tiki objects?: I would say, in this order:
# specific forums
# specific blogs
# specific calendars
# specific newsletters (ML: we can already subscribe groups to newsletters)
# specific wiki pages
# specific structures
# specific trackers
# specific categories
# new articles

This is specially useful for new users of the site, where they don't know yet how to subscribe to specific areas, etc. Very needed for educational scenarios, but I can see many other places where new users are a bit lost for some time while they learn how to use the Tiki site.

Better comments feature
I want to enable comments on wiki pages.

I have two options right now, both have advantages and disadvantages.

Enabling comments on pages

* Pros
o Easy to configure
o Comments are visible directly on the page
* Cons
o No way for people to monitor all posts on the site. Often people post a comment on a a page and never get feedback.


Associating a discussion forum thread to each page

* Pros
o Everyone on the site gets to see every posting that's made on any page. Increases the likelyhood that someone will respond to a post.
* Cons
o More difficult to configure.
o Postings are not visible directly on the page.

It would be nice if we could have the best of both.

What I would like is something where:

* A discussion forum for the wiki can be enabled at a single click of the mouse.
* This single click of mouse would result in threads being a
utomatically created on this mailing list for each of the wiki pages
* The top 5 messages for a given page would be displayed directly on that page.

Calendar: Email reminder before an event + a pop-up if user is logged in
Calendar has been great for a while now as an event calendar. But what about for appointments?

For this use, notifications would be sweet. I would like to be able to configure an email reminder before an event (+ a pop-up if user is logged in.)

Time of email reminder should be configurable per event. Sometimes, I want a reminder 15 minutes before. Sometimes, I want 3 days. I could configure to send an email (or SMS) to my phone.

I guess we'd need a cron job for this to work efficiently.

Category changes in watch and logs
There is currently no history of changes to categories.

Since permissions can now be restricted by categories, it is more & more important to know when an object is changed from one category to another.

Reminder: categories can be assigned in tiki-admin_categories.php but also when editing a wiki page.

Danger with Watches and PluginGroup
When writing a particular wiki page, and being set this page to be watched to a group (let say Registered users).

Then if the page has plugingroup to hide particular peaces of special text that is not intended to be known by certain users. Then every time this page changes, a notification email is sent to all Registered users (this is ok), but in the content of this email all the source code is revealed to EVERY user on the Registered group, regardless if they have the right to see Source of wikis.

Don´t know how this could survive the testing and dogfood of this community. May be there is another way to let the Registered group to be acknowledged of a change in a wiki, without compromising content. Please enlight me on how to do this much of the work done on our live tiki portal uses plugingroup to restrict snippets of text to certain groups and other snippets has to shown, in the same wiki.

There should be an option to configure a watch to be sent in a way that only alerts the user that a particular page has changed without showing all source, in respect to a particular right to see or no to see the source.

I have checked on the proper user rights and object perms to avoid them to receive this notifications in the proper way, but tiki doesn´t seem to take it.

Discuss button on wiki page causes erroneous notifications on forum watch
One of our users reported that she was receiving watch notifications whenever she clicked the "Discuss" button for a wiki page, even though she was not posting anything in the forum topic.

The cause was a Watch on "A user posts a forum topic (forum_post_topic)" for the Wiki Page Discussion forum. (Our Tiki uses a forum for page discussion instead of page comments.)

The preferred behavior is that this type of watch would only generate a notification the ===first=== time the Discuss button is clicked for a page, when the new topic is actually created, rather than just accessed on successive clicks.

Make e-mail notifications handle huge amounts of users
The e-mail notifications of watches (wiki, tracker, article, etc.) are sent out when changes are made. This means that the user submitting the change has to wait for the PHP-Code to send out all the mails before he can continue browsing. This is annoying and even...

... more evil is that with thousands of users to notify of the change the PHP-script will tend to time out and not all the notifications are sent!

One possibility would be to set the timeout higher, but that isn't really a solution at all. So the sending of mails needs to happen asynchronously. One simple solution would be to have a daemon running on the same system, which sends out the mails and the PHP-script just notifies the daemon of what to do. This would make installation a lot harder though and can't really be a desired solution.

Any possibilities to solve this in PHP directly?
tracker item
Manage email bounces
Tiki sends emails for several things (watches, password reset, newsletters, etc.) in addition to end users via ((doc:Cypht)) webmail.

System emails should be sent with a valid sender email. Many will put a bogus no-reply@example.org but that is bad practice. We should be using a real email account, accessible via ((doc:Cypht)).

See also ((Transactional Email Providers))

There will be manual replies. There will be bounces. This should be monitored, and handled accordingly. When you have hundreds or thousands of bounces in a ((doc:Cypht))-accessible account, it's tricky and time-consuming to manage.

If you don't handle this, and repeatedly send out emails to invalid accounts, you risk being flagged as a spammer.

Tiki should help detect types of bounces. Ex.:
* Manual reply
* Soft bounce (ex.: vacation message)
* Hard bounce: (user doesn't exist)

There should be a dashboard of all bounces, with a way to see
* The emails with the most bounces (top bouncing emails so site admin can go in order of priority)
* The actual emails with ((doc:Cypht))

And help Tiki admin handle this
* Show where this email is used (user profile, watches, etc.) and help remove.

See https://packagist.org/?query=bounce for potential libs.

Minor changes still result in email notification
On at least two sites, running respectively 3.x and 4.x:

- jiamcatt.ourwiki.net (3.x)
- terminology.tikiwiki.org (4.x)

I noticed that if I change a wiki page and save it as a minor edit, email notifications are still being sent.

I think that this only happens when the user is part of a group for which a Group Watch has been set. When I tested on the 3.x site, that's the conclusion I had come to (this AM, UK time). But this PM (UK time), I tested on the 4.x site, and it seems that the minor edit is causing notification even if a user-defiined watch (i.e. as opposed to a group watch) is set.

BTW: This bug caused a minor incident on the JIAMCATT site. Someone did about 30 minor edits to a page that was being monitored by a large number of people, because he was a newbie and was trying to master the syntax for referencing a section inside a page. As a result, 30 notifications got sent to a hundred people, and some of them got pretty pissed off, and almost walked out on the site. One person asked to be "taken off this infernal web site".

So, if the bug can be fixed quickly, I can go back to this community and tell them that something was done to prevent that sort of problem in the future, which might diffuse the crisis.

Monitored tiki trackers should appear in "My watches"
When I click on "Monitor this Tracker" It doesn't appear in the "My watches" section. It would be very nice to have a list of monitored trackers there as it would be quicker to verify. I would actually like to have the option of only seeing my trackers in the "My watches" section without receiving any emails when a change occurs.

Notifications should parse the body
In general, wiki syntax is not parsed in notification mails. For example, the "New article post" notification email includes the full body of the newly posted article. However, Tiki includes the full wiki coding/syntax within the body of the message, and sends the mail message as plain text. Tiki should either:

1. Send the message as parsed HTML

or

2. Strip all formatting and send only the text.

Reduce frequency of watch notifications
I would like to see a way to control how often I receive watch emails.

Situation 1 - DIGEST mode:
I would like to receive a single email each day that identifies every watched item that changed.

Situation 2 - TIMEFRAME mode:
If a page is changed by the same user within a preset timeframe, I only want to receive a single watch email. To avoid the "lost edit" issue, many users SAVE their wiki pages frequently (sometimes several times per hour). If I'm watching the page, I'll get TONS of emails. I'd rather get 1 email per user change per hour, for example.

Should Watches report Minor changes to wiki web pages, or not? If not, fix.
Some versions of the Tikiwiki documentation suggest that a watch does not report a change to a web page that has been designated as a "minor" change. That does not appear to be the case for Tikiwiki 1.9.2.

If you ask me, the ability for a wiki user to make a Minor edit without bothering the "Watcher" crowd is a great idea and makes for a better community wiki dynamic.

SMTP Configuration from inside Admin Interface
A lot of people who install this aren't doing it via Fantastico and trying to change email settings to suit your hosting provider is a pain. Editing the php.ini isn't always wise either because what works for one app will break another. I know that you can copy the php.ini to the directory, but that's something of a security risk. There's a reason that the default php.ini is stored outside the web root directory.

I know that I see a lot of users posting on the TikiWiki forums with questions about configuring SMTP.

Special characters in newsletters & email notifications when copy-pasting from Microsoft Word
Please see:

"Put simply, I have a text box, and people commonly cut + paste
information into this text box from Microsoft word. The problem is that
word has all types of funky characters (smart quotes, em-dashes), that
the system (php-based) doesn't understand. Does anyone know of a way to
filter out these Microsoft-specific characters? Does PHP have a special
function for this? Thanks a lot!"

I have problems with oe, and OE too. (used in French)

In Tiki, when the page is saved, it is OK for viewing & printing.
However, newsletters & email notifications (of articles & wiki pages)

When users submitt data to a TikiWiki site, there is now workflow included. However this results in active management of a TikiWiki site, for different data entered.

Editors, may receive updates to the site, when you use the notification mechanism, however, there is now way for an editor/administrator to get notifiied by e-mail about other changes to the site, or even worse: notification which need approval, like new links and FAQ entries.

Tracker, Articles & wiki page notification for deletes and changes
In tiki-admin_notifications.php, if I am watching articles and wiki pages, I want to know more.


Should trigger watch notification email:
Edit article (needed: we don't need a nice diff compared to previous but I want to know who is editing existing articles. Tracker notification email is nice with old value/new value for each field)
delete article (needed: if someone deletes by accident, I can recuperate from emails)

Edit wiki page (OK)
Rename wiki page (OK in 2.0)
Delete wiki page (needed: if someone deletes by accident, I can recuperate from emails)


Trackers:
Edit tracker item (OK)
Add a tracker item (OK)
Delete tracker item (needed: if someone deletes by accident, I can recuperate from emails) in trunk, it sends an email about deletion but without a copy of the last content. __As of 2009-02-25 and on 2009-04-22, it does send an email, but with a blank sender address and without a copy of the data which was just deleted.__

Trackers :: email notifications of changes :: more emphasis on changes.
When watching wiki pages, the first part of the notification email is just the diff, and them you can a full copy of the wiki page. So you can quickly see what changed and still have a full copy if needed.

In the tracker notification email, it should be the same principle.

As of now, it lists everything, and indicates new/old values, when appropriate. So we need to scroll all the way down and be very attentive to see what changed.

The same old/new interface should be used in [wish1798|Version history for trackers]

Users can't globally watch a wiki site on trunk 4
I have a tiki site that's running trunk 4.0. It has User Watches enabled, and the wiki feature also.

When I go to My Watches, I don't see anything that would allow me to globally set watches on all pages of the wiki.

Yet, if I enable User Watches Translsations and go to My Watches, then I see a picklist with a single element for watching creatino of any translation on the site.

Seems like a bug. I remember that I used to be able to globally set watches on all wiki pages (not just translations), and I think it was in the My Watches window.

Version history for trackers
((doc:Trackers)) are powerful. But there is no built-in version history like the wiki pages and the spreadsheet. A workaround is to watch the tracker and have the history in your inbox. You can also permit users to comment the tracker item instead of editing it.

A real history, accessible via the interface would be nice to have. Please see SourceForge trackers for an example.

Adding a field "Edit Summary" would be useful for this history.

Low-hanging fruit solution is to copy the diffs (that we already send by email but should be improved: [wish1982|Trackers :: email notifications of changes :: more emphasis on changes.]) to a new "history" tab.

More work would be an interface to revert to a previous value, which could be nice-to-have but too complex.

Tiki Calendar is very nice for events. But what if someone updates the information about an event? Maybe I won't know (because I copy/pasted the event my pesonal calendar) and I will show up at the old (wrong) time.

Tiki's excellent watch feature should be added (with the little eye) to
# all calendars
# each calendar (id=1) (this could be nice on the filter tab)
# each individual event (when in view mode)

Ideally, for a modified event, I would receive in the email the old and the new value, like for watching trackers.

wrong charset of wiki notification email
When watching a wiki page, emails send on change contain iso-8859-1 charset in their header, while the body is utf-8 encoded.
The result is that special characters like umlauts are not being displayed properly (without manually setting the character encoding in the mail client).

Detailed error:
In lib/notification/notificationemail.php for function sendWikiEmailNotification(..) exists for sending those notifications. This function then calls tiki_send_admin_mail(..) in lib/mail/maillib.php which then starts a new instance of Zend_Mail. At this point, the Zend_Mail constructor would need to be given the charset or it uses iso-8859-1 as default.
Since the whole procedure of sending the notification seems to be ignoring the charset settings of the general tiki settings, the constructor would need to be given "utf-8".

I guess the error, though, is that character encoding is not set at all during the process. This might have to do with the fact, that wiki notifications are sent another way then i.e. structure notifications. Someone with a clue needs to look into this, though.
