habitrpg-email-server's Issues

Not all templated fields get populated in `text/plain` mail.

Today I received a HabitRPG email with the subject "Your Weekly Progress Update". By default, my mailer (Claws) shows the text/plain component and only displays the text/html if requested. In the text/plain bit, I encountered this:

The oldest To-Do that you completed was added on: |OLDEST_TODO_COMPLETED_DATE|*.

which I expect should have been populated with the same date information that was visible in the text/html portion.

I poked through the habitrpg-email-server project and didn't seen an obvious template that was used, so this might be lodged against the wrong HabitRPG project. If so, I'd gladly report it against whatever one you direct me to instead.

As a side note, there was an extra backslash-escaping of an apostrophe in the same email, "Keep going, and you'll earn a 21-Day Streak Achievement!" but again, only in the text/plain component (the text/html was just fine).

Negative habits misrepresented in the Weekly report

Habits that are negative-only can't get blue, so their maximum is at the yellow value range. However, the counter in the weekly report still considers such habits as bad, even though this is the best they can be (besides not existing).

I propose that they (and only they) be counted as good if their value is above -1.1. The asymptote seems to be near -1.0xyz for my few examples, not zero as I expected. The code is currently just checking if the value is less than 1 and disregarding the type.

Restore password. Bug, no documentation?

Hi, I use habitica and habitrpg-email-server + Mandrill API. I want to do a password recovery via a link and have created a corresponding template for that.

But when I try to click the link I get a 404 although this URL is sent in the habitrpg-email-server request. What could be the error?

.

Also, it should be noted that the request to send an email is sent through the habitrpg-email-server, is only made when in the file \website\server\libs\email.js check for Boolean value IS_PROD, because the token "IS_PROD": "true" in the file config.json is not read and by default is always false. How do I fix this unusual behavior?

Memory leak

Despite #1 being fixed there's still a memory leak with weekly recap emails. It's not high priority as Heroku restarts the server every 24hrs

Destroy charts to free memory

chart.destroy() is currently broken, see my-archives/nchart#8.

Might need to fork it

Links in messages lead to mandrillapp.com and then get redirected to habitrpg-staging.herokuapp.com

It seems, that the last messages I'm receiving from HabitRPG have links to mandrillapp.com which then redirects me to habitrpg-staging.herokuapp.com instead of the page of messages/options on habitrpg.com. Is it the intended behavior now?

On translate.habitica.com emails are broken

There is a (may be configuration) problem with emails on translate.habitica.com.
In my case I tried to register to weblate and everything looks fine except that the email with the confirmation code is never sent. I run my own mail server, so I can see there clearly is no sign of any incoming mail. Other user from the Commonwealth of i18n also reported this.
Also trying to report this problem via https://translate.habitica.com/contact/?t=reg ends in an internal server error.

How to connect to send e-mail?

Hello, can you tell us how to set up your mail service?

1. In the config.json settings of the habitica project, should I explicitly specify the URL of my mail server with or without a port (e.g. https://mydomain.com or https://mydomain.com:3100 in EMAIL_SERVER_URL)?

2. A similar question for the habitrpg-email-server project, what should I specify in BASE_URL, the URL of the habitica backend with or without port (e.g. https://mydomain.com or https://mydomain.com:3000)? If I understand correctly, can the habitrpg-email-server send mail only through the MANDRILL API?

3. There is no way to use SMTP sending, it looks very strange that the OpenSource project uses a paid and proprietary API.

4. If you really can send mail only through the MANDRILL API, then be sure to buy Standart and higher tariff plan what to unlock Transactional Email?

5. And why do I need tokens AWS_, STRIPE_API_KEY, AMAZON_PAYMENTS, PAYPAL_, S3 in the project config.json for habitrpg-email-server ? Isn't it just a server for sending mail?
