e-mail sharing not working : how is it supposed to work ?!

Featured Replies

Posted

Hello,

We've recently activated the sharing buttons into the community, twitter works quite well, but e-mail sharing does not seem to have the expected behavior : it sends a message to the given e-mail address, but no link is sent to the current topic being shared (!?)

Did I miss something ??

Thankyou for your attention,

Z

ok... it was - again - the french translation that had a "%s" more than needed in the text containing the link...

Sorry...

But now that it works by presetting the topic title & link into the e-mail content I see the received e-mail contains the email_greenting_member string in the header of the e-mail... So, if you're sharing a topic with someone else, it will send an e-mail to someone else but addressed to yourself (!) 

Example : I Zorro_X want share by e-mail a topic with Bernardo, so I send him a sharing e-mail and Bernardo will receive something like

"Hi Zorro_X,
I want to share with you this topic : e-mail sharing not working - http://...." !!!

Something is wrong here...

No. It only uses the greeting if it recognizes the receiver as member through the email address. If you send it to an unknown address, it won’t contain this greeting.
