What do I need to know?

At present, you must be using Mailgun to send your email notifications (using the built in Mailgun provider). Support for other services might be added in the future, but for now this will be the only provider option.

If you're also using fof/pretty-mail, this is supported, but you are required to make minor updates to your templates.

Your email sending domain DNS must have the correct MX records configured for Mailgun to be able to receive inbound mail. Don't worry about configuring routes, etc, as the extension will configure this for you.

Installation

Install with composer:

composer require blomstra/email-conversations:"*"

blomstra/conversations and blomstra/email-conversations will be installed together.

  • Enable Conversations first, and review the permissions to see the post source. By default this is set to admin and mod groups.
  • Enable Email Conversations.
  • Visit {YOUR_FORUM}/admin#/mail and click Create Mailgun incoming route.
  • Configure the extension settings as per your requirements {YOUR_FORUM}/admin#/extension/blomstra-email-conversations.
  • If you're using fof/pretty-mail: In each of your HTML templates, add the variable $notificationId somewhere in the content. Somewhere in the <footer> element is recommended.
  • Send a test email to your forum (The email address is the one configured in your email settings tab). The subject line will become the discussion title, the email body will become the post content.
