I want to be able to resend an email verification link to users of my Meteor application in case they accidentally delete their email verification email.
I have a link with the id "resentEmailVerificationLink"
I have the following code in my client for when the link is click (alerts are just there to show myself how far the function gets before an error):
Template.dashboard.events({
'click #resentEmailVerificationLink' : function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var id = Meteor.userId();
alert('clicked: ' + id);
Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(id);
alert('Verification Email resent');
return false; // Stops page from reloading
}
)};
I know the sendVerificationEmail is a server function but I have no idea how to call this function in the server upon clicking the verify email link (I'm a bit of a Meteor newbie).
Any idea of how to accomplish this, because currently it doesn't work with the following error: Uncaught TypeError: Accounts.sendVerificationEmail is not a function
Note: Meteor.Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(id); doesn't work either (it does however produce a different error.
You can try with server side method just create one pass the attrs and call http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/accounts_sendverificationemail on the server. More about meteor methods: http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/meteor_methods

I have a link to default email verification function in Firebase.
Using this link from the browser works fine, however it fails when being used from server side with the following code:
try {
const url = `https://example.com/__/auth/action?mode=verifyEmail&oobCode=${oobCode}&apiKey=${apiKey}&lang=en`;
const response = await axios.get(url);
if (response.data.success) {
return next();
} else {
return next(new ErrorResponse("Failed email verification", FORBIDDEN));
}
} catch (error) {
return sendFailedWithErr(res, error.message);
}
When I am copying the URL used in the server side the exact same URL works from the browser, but fails on the server side.
Would appreciate any idea what is the problem.
This is because a call to this URL is not going to return a response that you can check like the response of a REST API endpoint with, e.g. response.data.success.
As you will see here, this URL is supposed to be used to open a web page in which you will:
Get the values passed as QueryString parameters (e.g. mode or oobCode)
Call, from the web page some methods of the Firebase JavaScript SDK, like applyActionCode() in the case of email verification.
You may be able to mimic this action from a server, but I've never tried.
I have a problem with the server-side error management on Google App Maker.
Here an exemple of my code
Server-side
function serverSideFn() {
// Consider the error to be throw.
if ( anError ) {
throw new Error("A specific error message");
}
}
Client-side
function clientSideFn() {
google.script.run
.withSuccessHandler(function(result) {
// Success code...
})
.withFailureHandler(function(error) {
console.log(error.message); // The message error here is not the same if I have or not the Admin role.
showErrorPopup(error.message);
})
.serverSideFn();
}
When I execute the "clientSideFn" function with default role Admin, I have the good message ("A specific error message"), but if I don't have the Admin role, I have a "Server Error" message instead of the expected.
I've tried to use the developer account option, and set Admin role to this account and execute the server side scripts, but the error is still present for users without Admin role.
I've also tried to throw a custom Exception, but the error is still changed on client side.
What I can change to got the expected message when the user don't have the Admin role ?
The relevant documentation to your question is located here https://developers.google.com/appmaker/scripting/api/server. The basics is that you use:
throw new app.ManagedError('Your custom message here');
I'm setting up Ninja Forms in Wordpress. And I want to use the Webhooks extension to post a code to an external URL. If the code is correct Ninja Forms should submit the data on move on. If the code is wrong then the user should get an error message and try again.
How can I do this, I see no way if interrupting the submit?
In Ninja Form when you use webhook, I guess you may catch the error respond from the API with this code
$data['errors']['form'][] = $this->submit_response->result[0]->error;
So when the API respond error, in this case user has no chance to re-submit the form again unless reload the page.
When the form contain the error, Ninja form prevent the form to submit, so you need to find a way to clear/remove this error.
Few workarounds can fix this problem.
An easy way is that, you cache the respond error differently with the following code:
$data['errors']['last']['message'] = $this->submit_response->result[0]->error;
With this code, your form will not display the error message respond from API but it is possible for user to re-submit the form again and you can use the javascript code below to display the error to some HTML element
var customFormController = Marionette.Object.extend({
initialize: function() {
// Listen to submit respond
this.listenTo(nfRadio.channel( 'forms' ), 'submit:response', this.checkSubmitRespond);
},
checkSubmitRespond: function(response, textStatus, jqXHR, formID) {
if ('undefined' != typeof response.errors.last) {
var msg = response.errors.last.message;
// display error on some pre-defined element
jQuery('.error-container').html(msg);
}
}
});
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
new customFormController();
});
Hope this help.
I have an application running on meteor.js and mongo.db. I am using robomongo as a tool for mongo.db. Now I'd like to do the following:
1. Somebody registers with my service (adding email to db)
2. I want to send an automatic welcome email to that person.
Is there any possibility how to do it?
You need an email server (SMTP), and then use the meteor email library. If you don't have an email server and don't want to create one, use a commercial solution. (Example)
Full working example you can find here: http://meteorpad.com/pad/iNMBHtNsv7XKHeq44
Notice it creates new users from within Meteor app, but the same effect will be when you use Robomongo or any other way of updating MongoDB.
First install package Email to be able to use Email.send.
In below example I assume that adding new user to collection Meteor.users should fire sending "invitation" email.
In very similar way you can detect if email was added to user object
(user.emails.length was changed) and then send email.
Then take a look at code:
// SERVER SIDE CODE:
Meteor.startup(function () {
// clean users on app resetart
// Meteor.users.remove({});
if(Meteor.users.find().count() === 0){
console.log("Create users");
Accounts.createUser({
username:"userA",
email:"userA#example.com",
profile:{
invitationEmailSend:false
}
}) ;
Accounts.createUser({
username:"userB",
email:"userB#example.com",
profile:{
invitationEmailSend:false
}
})
}
Meteor.users.find().observe({
added:function(user){
console.log(user.username, user.profile.invitationEmailSend)
if(!user.profile.invitationEmailSend){
Email.send({
from: "from#mailinator.com",
to: user.emails[0].address,
subject: "Welcome",
text: "Welcome !"
});
// set flag 'invitationEmailSend' to true, so email won't be send twice in the future ( ex. during restart of app)
Meteor.users.update({_id:user._id},{$set:{"profile.invitationEmailSend":true}});
}
}
})
});
Above code will send email to users who don't have flag equal to true in profile.invitationEmailSend. After e-mail is sent server updates user document in db and set user.profile.invitationEmailSend to true.
Whenever you add users to mongoDB (using Robomongo or any other way), then added function is executed and e-mail is send only to new users.
I'm trying to get have users be able to post to their Facebook walls on my external site.
I've encountered a problem in Safari. If the user isn't logged in, i.e. they have not gone through the flow that calls FB.login(), I get the following JS error when calling FB.ui():
TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'b.fbCallID=a.id')
However, if they are logged in, the dialog appears just fine.
FB.ui() is called in a callback function -- I'm retrieving a unique url from my server, and then calling FB.ui(). If I call FB.ui() directly, it works fine, but not when it's asynchronous.
Here's the code:
retrieveUrl(param1, param2, function(result) {
FB.ui({ method: 'feed',
description: 'My Description',
display: 'dialog',
link: result.uniqueUrl,
picture: 'http://foo.com/bar.jpg'
}, function(response) {
if (response && response.post_id) {
//Posted message
} else {
//Not posted message
}
});
});
This works in other browsers, regardless of logged in state or not.
FB.login or FB.ui methods must be called on a user initiated action (click) in Safari for new window/popup/iframe to be rendered by FB.UIServer.
If you try calling these methods on a network callback event it will be blocked and the exception you described will occur:
TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'b.fbCallID=a.id')
Can you retrieve the unique URL before the user interacts with the page and then present the feed dialog when they click on a button?
