What's New Digest 5.3.1

[philmckrackon]

That's a bad idea on a live site - setting enableMail = false does not just stop emails from being delivered until you re-enable it - it stops them from being queued at all. So any mails that are sent while enableMail is disabled, just disappear and won't ever be sent.

My bad, I thought they were qued. Just learned something new...

Same. Thanks

In Test Mode now. I might suggest that be default for new installs.

When they unsubscribe, the Digest selection in preferences changes to None correct? And it does not affect the XF updates email subscription, even if that is checked for sending, correct?

@Sim is this correct?

Bug report: In Test mode, users cannot unsubscribe from any emails sent from when not in test mode. The link goes to an error page.

Receive Email Digest option changes to None when a user unsubscribes.

Unsubscribing from digest emails doesn't affect "Receive news and update emails" settings unless they choose to unsubscribe from all emails.

Regarding the bug report - the only user who will receive test emails is the admin user - or the user configured in the options. Unsubscribing won't work because it is not their email. It is behaving as intended.

Not sure how this is intended. I had the add-on live and it sent emails out. I switched to Test mode to work on it, and the users that received the emails while it was live get an error when they try to unsubscribe via the email link.

Test mode only affects the emails that get sent out and has nothing to do with the built-in unsubscribe mechanism - which is what the digest emails hook into when users unsubscribe.

If they are unsubscribing from genuine digest emails - then it should work - if it doesn't, there's an issue that's unrelated to test mode and I'll need more detail to be able to identify the cause.

You didn't disable the addon did you? That will break the unsubscribe links because it's looking for the whatsnewdigest email unsubcribe processor but won't be able to find it.

I did disable it before you suggested I put it in Test mode to stop emails. Perhaps it happened while disabled. That seems logical. Thanks
