Please install/enable email notification for the openSUSE wiki site
Last modified: 2010-03-10 15:45:36 UTC
Many other online wiki sites allow users to subscribe/watch a wiki page and be notified via email when the page is modified. Although a watchlist is currently available on the openSUSE wiki right now, it requires me to log in to the wiki and check manually. With email notification [1], users who set it up in their preferences can be alerted to important changes much more quickly. [1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Email_notification
Can we get an update on the progress here? When can we plan on seeing this?
my plan is to enable it on Monday.
it's enabled, please check it. It send mails on all articles you ever touched (only if another user makes changes). If i understand it correctly ... enable it in your user prefs. Let's test it a few days before we announce it.
I've enabled it in my preferences (by checking the "Send me an email on page changes") but I haven't received any emails. Is it working for you Martin?
yes, it only works on pages you changed before. So change a page, send me the link, i will change something and you should recieve a mail. You will not when you change it yourself ...
Ah, correction. I do get notified. Is there any way to make it so it sends the changes to me _in_ the email so I don't actually have to visit the wiki page to see what changed? http://live.gnome.org/ has this feature and it's extremely handy.
was this change implemented only on the en wiki? I mostly work with the es wiki, and I didn't receive any notification since activation.
#6: i don't know. our mediawiki version is quite old, i didn't found more options to tune it. Yes, we should update sometime soon. #7: it's a global feature, please check the accountsettings
I can confirm is working fine.

Assigning to new wiki team. Klaas wanted to add support for hermes in the wiki notifications.
The notifications are working on the staging system. Mehle: Could you please enable postfix on wiki.o.o and check if it's working?
We have hermes support added in now... marking as resolved.
The Hermes support is additional, as it cannot create a subscription for the watched pages of a user. Could you please check the postfix settings on wiki.o.o so we could also enble the wiki notifications? (They are enabled in the wiki, but not being delivered, maybe /var/log/mail contains something interesting).
Could I get some more detail on what is needed in this case? I'm assuming you need basic sendmail. Is this correct?
That's right, the setup with postfix on the staging server seems to work, I am getting the email notifications from there.
Mail notifications are working now for en.opensuse.org
Sorry, I forgot to mark this as resolved. Yes, I did get sendmail set up on all the wiki servers a few days ago. Thank you for verifying.
