New Plugin: Mailmagik

41

I have changed it for now, using the first option. Seems to work as expected.

42

I am pleased that it is being implemented.

If itā€™s not too much trouble, it would be great if the following problem could also be fixed. It is not possible to fill a column if it has a space. For example: ā€œcol:Expose printing platesā€ does not work. ā€œcol:Expose_printing_platesā€ works. Thatā€™s not so bad, but not quite so nice.

43

This an entirely different thing. It might require a massive redesign of the attribute parsing. But I could look at this afterward.

44

I dont understand the ask. Metamagik already replaces underscores for spaces, in displaying the column field name.

So, although the column name must be created usin ā€œExpose_printing_platesā€ it should be displayed as, ā€œExpose printing platesā€

45

It relates to the ConvertToTask emails, to place the created task in columns like ā€œWork in progressā€. Currently, this is not possible.

Itā€™s almost done, but Iā€™ll push it after we finished the body parsing.

Hi all,
Iā€™m currently setting up Mailmagik on my kanboard instance, and I managed to make it work fine when using the URL to fetchmail

but when I run the cron task from my OVH shared webserver, it exits with 255 error code, and apparently (from what I read online so far), this could be caused by wrong relative URLs in the cronjob php file.

my kanboard root folder is not named ā€œkanboardā€ so maybe that could be the issue ?

50

I think we need more details regarding your system and cron command.

51

hi @alfredb
the cron commands are calling

/prog/plugins/Mailmagik/Controller/FetchmailController.php
and
/prog/plugins/Mailmagik/Controller/EmailViewController.php

my kanboard directory name is ā€˜progā€™

the php version of the server is 8.1 on MYSQL v.8.0 db

all requirements are met.

what other info can I provide to help understanding the cause of the problem ?

52

Seems terribly wrong. Please try

prog/cli mailmagik:fetchmail

in your crontab. The same way as your usual cron entry for Kanboard.

Or in case you want/have to use webcron, call

https://<your_server>/?controller=FetchmailController&plugin=Mailmagik&action=run&token=<your_token>

Your token to use can be found at

https://<your_server>/settings/webhook

hi Alfred, and thanks for taking some time to help me.

Tha thing is, on OVH shared hosting, the only way to add a cron task is to enter the path of a .php file :

ovh_cron
ovh_cron658Ɨ659 88 KB

and the user interface will not allow to enter any space, nor special character as ā€œ?ā€ or ā€œ=ā€

Accepted characters for folders are letters, numbers, and - _ . / characters. Furthermore, it is prohibited to access parent folders using ā€¦

so maybe I should create a .php file calling the webcron ?

ps : sorry, this is the first time ever I try to set up a crontaskā€¦

54

After digging a little deeper, I found this topic Cron jobs on OVH - #4 by creecros which mentions websites that provide free external webcron service. I might try thatā€¦

55

Yes, you can do that. But many of them limit the count of invocations per day. It might be a serious limitation for this use case.

I found this page.

If this doesnā€™t work due to the additional argument, Iā€™d try to create a PHP file in the Kanboard root folder (prog) and insert this instead.

56

Hi,

thatā€™s the page I was showing you (but in French), so thatā€™s definitely the place for OVH shared hosting users, but the form doesnā€™t accept special characters, as I was saying, so the additional argument isnā€™t possible.

I tried some of the free external services, hoping to have them run the webcron at scheduled time (even twice a day woud have been enough for my use case, which is quite specific since we donā€™t use Kanboard for support tickets or anything of the kind, but for keeping track of music bands proposals sent through a form on our websiteā€¦)

But the external service fails as the webcron URL requires to be logged in, in order to runā€¦

Redirection detected
It looks like your URL redirects to another URL. cron-job.org does not automatically follow redirections. In most cases, updating the job URL to the redirection target resolves this issue.
Redirection target: https://MY_DOMAIN/login

57

Thatā€™s what I was thinking of, but I canā€™t figure out what code the PHP file must contain ?? (Really sorry to be such a noob hereā€¦)

58

Please try to insert and use the following, in this order:

  • cli mailmagik:fetchmail

If this doesnā€™t work, make a copy of the file cli to cli.php.

  • cli.php mailmagik:fetchmail

If it still doesnā€™t work, create and use a file named cronjob.php with the following content.

<?php
shell_exec('./cli mailmagik:fetchmail');
  • cronjob.php
59

This seems to be a bug. Iā€™ll seeā€¦

60

thanks for investigating, and thanks again for taking the time to help me set this up.

as far as the OVH cron GUI is concerned, thereā€™s no way I can pass an argument so I tried the cronjob.php file containing the following code

<?php
shell_exec('./cli mailmagik:fetchmail');

and tested it directly in my web browser, with no success.
(Iā€™m awaiting the cron task to be run by the server in order to see if this changes anythingā€¦)
