Email Digests - Open Beta

Kyrne

Hey everyone!

I'm back with yet another beta test, this time open to everyone! This extension does not yet have the feature set to be public yet but for those of you who know their way around the command line it works!

To install, first install the extension: composer require kyrne/sylloge.

Next, setup this cron job * * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php flarum schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1 Replacing /path-to-your-project with the root directory of your Flarum install. Some of you may already have this cron setup if you've used new versions of best-answer.

Finally, tell users to change their digest settings (daily/weekly/none) in their settings page. New users will have a checkbox on register.

Please report any issues in this thread.

Is this still in progress and would an extension like this be a released under FoF? I am following this closely now that I found this thread. Scheduled email digests are (daily/weekly/monthly) are of big interest to me personally as this is something that helps encourage users to engage with the community.

Also a similar topic here about digest here that I am also following @ian https://discuss.flarum.org/d/24289-extension-for-send-weekly-report-to-subdcribers/4

Edit: I'd like to add I've got it installed, and setup daily emails for myself. I realize it's beta and thus feature set is not extensive, I haven't even yet gotten an email so I might be jumping the gun but questions/ideas below 🙂

What time do the email jobs run at? Perhaps this can be customizable by the admin? For example, my community is active during day mainly, but not evening, so it would be beneficial to send it in the AM. For other communities that may be evening.
Possibility to customize the emails (a bit)? Perhaps a header, logo (and not necessarily use forum one), or primary/secondary colours? Fonts? Again, haven't gotten an email yet as I just set up and don't know criteria for it to run (24 hours after I enable extension?)
Select which tags to include for the digest. Possibly create any number of digests and assign different settings to them (ie. which users can subscribe, subscribe users/groups by default, different tags and content per digest, maybe some content relevant for an administrative digest like # of new users this month, # of users active this week/month, discussions/posts in time period, etc.)

@Kyrne are there any drastic changes that would prevent this from being used on flarum Beta 15, or can I force it? The extension requires fof/console 0.5.3, I am assuming I cannot install it on Beta 15 because of the changes in the admin console for extension settings in Beta 15?
