hi folks,
i finally fixed an old bug in how project issue emails are handled:
http://drupal.org/node/61453
basically, if you ever used the "Issues e-mail address:" setting on
your project node's edit tab (now on the "issues" subtab, of course),
chances are you never got any emails because of it. for no good
reason, you had to have "Administer projects" permissions to be able
to set the filters for what categories and states you wanted to see
the emails for. furthermore, the code didn't match the UI
description. the UI claimed "If none is checked all categories will
be posted" yet the code only emailed anything if you defined filters
and they matched the issue in question.
now:
1) everyone sees these filter checkboxes
2) the code matches the UI -- if you select no filters, all issues
are emailed.
SO...
it's entirely possible that many of you have used this setting, but
never got any emails for new issues or followups. perhaps you gave
up on that and just subscribed to the issue queue(s) instead. if so,
you'll now get duplicate emails until you either disable the "Issues
e-mail address:" setting or unsubscribe yourself using:
http://drupal.org/project/issues/subscribe/[project_name]
sorry for any inconvenience this might cause, but the bug has been
bothering me for a long time, and i finally had a chance to fix
it. ;) furthermore, this "Issues e-mail address" setting has the
benefit of actually *allowing* these filters, which the regular issue
subscription interface does not, so you've got more functionality now
than before.
cheers,
