BinhQuang Nice extension. Could you write some more information on how to use the extension, what it does and how to install? That will ensure more people will install it.

BlackSheep

BinhQuang Nice ! I'll add it the to extension list when you will be a bit more informative about it 😉
(Don't forget to add it to composer (and github if it's possible)).

Franz

BlackSheep and github if it's possible

Gitlab should be fine, no? 🙂

luceos

Franz I agree, there should be no reason to force anyone onto any platform. As long as the package is available on packagist. If a developer wants to use their own vcs instance, that's fine.

My God, is this what you've been working on, @BinhQuang? This is fantastic!

Nice, but why the modal window?

UaMV

I look forward to giving this extension a go, but am encountering the following error when attempting an install.

[InvalidArgumentException] Could not find package vingle/flarum-configure-smtp at any version for your minimum-stability (beta). Check the package spelling or your minimum-stability

Any suggestions on how to fix this? I haven't encountered when installing other extensions. Thanks!

UaMV ~~It's possible your stability isn't set to beta. Check that~~

 "minimum-stability": "beta"

~~appears near the end of your composer.json file in the Flarum root folder.~~

EDIT: Scratch that, I'm getting the same and the above is set.

The package: https://packagist.org/packages/vingle/flarum-configure-smtp does not have any version released yet, so the only way of installing is like this:

composer require "vingle/flarum-configure-smtp dev-master"

BinhQuang
Please tag your release with at least a beta version, using:

git tag 0.1.0-beta.1
git push --tags

Make sure that before you do that, your webhook for packagist is in place on your gitlab.

What are valid inputs for mail_encryption?

Toby

BinhQuang Nice work! This is in fact something that we plan to have in core – feel free to integrate it and send a PR 🙂

BinhQuang

move gitlab to github 😃

lorde

Kakifrucht could be TLS/SSL or nothing

luceos

lorde

TLS/SSL
SSL
none

actually 😉 SSL is very bad practice however.

while we are on this topic, which free smtp providers exits + easy to set up? 've tried amazon and mailgn with no success i.e my forum doesn't send registration emails

lorde

BinhQuang can i use the email settings from an email i created on a cpanel hosting?

BinhQuang

lorde
I'm using it 😃

lorde

BinhQuang does it fall under tsl, SSL and it uses outgoing server right?
