Notification mail in open atrium - drupal

I have a problem on how to send mail on notification while editing or creating any contents in open atrium.
I have followed as mentioned in below link
https://community.openatrium.com/documentation-en/node/28
but was not successful in sending mail to notified user on creating or editing of contents.
And also i wanted to send a mail to user when his credentials is changed or edited.
May can anyone help me in rectifying this issues.

Is your server/PHP enabled to send mails?
Maybe that is not the case and this is why no messages are sent.
In any way you can do a couple of tests to check that out what is wrong. For some, you will need the devel module installed:
Check if your server has the SMTP functionality installed and running (how to check this changes a lot from server to server)
Check if your PHP installation manages to send mail. There are plenty of available scripts to do this on the internet. I C&P one below.
Check if you can send mails with drupal (with the develop module installed, visit http://example.com/devel/php and use the drupal_mail() function.
Change the setting from the devel module and put the mail to "log only": this will show you if Open Atrium is at least trying to send them.
Example PHP script to test mail functionality.
$to = "recipient#example.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
}
else {
echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}
?>
HTH!

According to the OpenAtrium Installation docs, all you need to do is enable the [standard Drupal cron job]. That worked for me in my OpenAtrium installation. Just to be clear, I did not have to alter php.ini or install the Drupal SMTP module.

Documentation is not realistic. Take a look to this post:

Fixed installing smtp module and letting openatrium mail with PHPMailer.

Update WordPress Theme / Plugin from Private GitHub Repo

Background
I am working on a custom theme for my WordPress site which I would like to manage from a private GitHub repo. (This theme will never be pushed into the WordPress market place) The general idea would be that I use the repo to manage the code and then once I tag a new version, the tag would trigger an update for the WordPress theme.
I have this pattern working using the following as a template:
https://github.com/krafit/wp-gitlab-updater
(Yes, I know the repo is for Gitlab and not GitHub)
Since my repo is private, I will need to generate a user token to allow the theme to be updated. And because the user token is capable of accessing all my private repos, the idea of sharing the user token with another plugin is discomforting from a security standpoint. (Meaning, I'm uncomfortable using a plugin like: https://github.com/afragen/git-updater)
Question
The problem is that GitHub has deprecated the use of access_token as a query string parameter, so all tokens must be sent over as an Authorization header.
How do I add an authorization header to the request WordPress sends to download the artifact?
What I've Tried
When I check for new tags I use the code:
protected function fetch_tags_from_repo( $git_url, $repo, $access_token ) {
$request_url = "$git_url/repos/$repo/tags?access_token=$access_token";
$args = [
"headers" => [
"Accept" => "application/vnd.github.v3+json",
"Authorization" => "token " . $access_token
]
];
$request = wp_safe_remote_get( $request_url, $args );
return $request;
}
This works without any issues. However...
During the pre_set_site_transient_update_themes hook I return an object that looks like:
$transient->response[ $theme['name'] ]['theme'] = $theme['name'];
$transient->response[ $theme['name'] ]['new_version'] = $latest_version;
$transient->response[ $theme['name'] ]['package'] = $theme_package;
The problem is, I have no way of adding an Authorization header to the transient response object. Therefore, when WP later tries to download the artifact, it fails.
Note: The $theme_package string is a URL which looks like:
$theme_package = "$git_url/repos/$repo/zipball/refs/tags/$latest_version";
Any support appreciated, thank you!
Honestly, this problem has been exhausting and enough is enough...
Answer
Eject from GitHub and use Gitlab because they still support access_token as a header. They have unlimited free private repos <5gb storage.
If you are planning to distribute the private repo with a license I recommend you not to expose your access credentials in the script.
Instead you should use the GitHub PHP API together with a SSH Key that you setup in your repo settings or a GitHub App with access permission granted on your repo.
Here is a solid SDK to start from:
https://github.com/KnpLabs/php-github-api
Alternatively as you suggested it in your answer, a third party service could be used to manage the credentials on your behalf.
Gitlab is a nice generic and low cost option but if you are looking for something dedicated to Wordpress development I recommend WP Package Editor (WP2E)
Among other things the service uses a registered GitHub App to pull the latest version from public / private GitHub repositories:
https://github.com/marketplace/wp-package-editor
This is quoted from the documentation regarding how it is implemented with GitHub:
For a script to be successfully imported to the library of repositories and later be synchronized as an installer dependency there are 4 conditions :
The GitHub App must be connected to a WP2E account
The “read-only” access to the repository must be granted to the WP2E GitHub App
The script must be a valid WP theme or plugin
The repository must have at least one “release” on GitHub
Note: In order to synchronize with the GitHub account/repo the GitHub App should be integrated via the saas panel ( not directly via the GitHub Marketplace )

Presto custom PasswordAuthenticator plugin for coordinator authentication is not triggered

I created a presto custom password authenticator plugin (internal) by making a copy of the LDAP plugin and modifying it. You can see that code here: https://github.com/prestodb/presto/tree/master/presto-password-authenticators/src/main/java/com/facebook/presto/password.
I created copies of the Authenticator, AuthenticatorFactory, and the config, and modified them to basically just take a user/password from the config and to only allow that user in. I also put the new class in the PasswordAuthenticatorPlugin registration code.
I can see the plugin loading when presto is started, but it doesn't appear to do anything despite no errors being present. What am I missing?
Note: I had already found a solution to this, I'm just recording it on SO as I originally came here and found no help.
To make a custom password plugin work, you actually need HTTPS enabled for communication with the coordinator. You can actually see this recommendation at the bottom of their documentation:
https://prestodb.github.io/docs/current/develop/password-authenticator.html
Additionally, the coordinator must be configured to use password authentication and have HTTPS enabled.
So, the steps to make it work are:
Make sure your main config.properties has "http-server.authentication.type=PASSWORD".
Make sure you add a password-authenticator.properties next to config properties with content like the sample in the link above. But make sure you use your string from your authenticator as the name, and that you add your configuration properties instead (user name and password).
Set up a JKS store or a real certificate (some instructions here from Presto for JKS: https://prestodb.github.io/docs/current/security/tls.html).
Add SSL config to your config.properties.
http-server.https.enabled=true
http-server.https.port=8443
http-server.https.keystore.path=/etc/presto-keystore/keystore.jks
http-server.https.keystore.key=password123
Set up your JDBC driver to use the same key store.
I wrote up a blog on it with a bit more detail as well if any of that doesn't make sense. But after doing all this, you should find that it does require a password and it does enforce your plugin.

Contact Form 7 mails are being marked like spam

All the mails sent from a Contact Form 7 form are being marked by gmail as spam.
A hint: I looked at the option "Show Original" and I found stuff like this:
Return-Path: <www-data#localhost>
....
Received-SPF: none (google.com: www-data#localhost does not designate permitted sender hosts) client-ip=178.216.103.114;
....
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com;
spf=neutral (google.com: www-data#localhost does not designate permitted sender hosts) smtp.mail=www-data#localhost;
dmarc=fail (p=NONE dis=NONE) header.from=gmail.com
See all thos www-data#localhost ? My guess is that they have something to do with the problem (but I could be wrong).
What could I do to solve this problem on the server side?
This is a common issue with Contact Form 7 and some php mail or server settings on some hosts.
Try hardcoding the sender name in the ‘From:’ field in the ‘Mail’ section like Webmail <a-valid-address#mydomain.com> This means you won't see the sender name or email as names and return emails in your incoming mail box, but that doesn't matter much, as the sender's email will be in the body of the message.
If that doesn't work, try https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ to use SMTP instead of php mail.
And see http://contactform7.com/faq/ and http://buzztone.com.au/contact-form-7-email-issues/
This can be solved via using "WP Mail SMTP" plugin which is for enabling SMTP auth in wordpress. Just install the plugin via wordpress admin or download and extract the plugin zip file to wordpres plugins folder. Correct permissions.
Activate "WP-Mail-SMTP" plugin in wordpress admin >> Plugins. Then go to Wordpress Admin >> Settings >> Email
Enter your email settings as mentioned in the screen shot. Make sure you have turned ON "Use SMTP authentication". If you are using remote MX, specify the remote MX instead of "localhost" in SMTP Host.
This month i had the same problem, after suffering for two weeks I found the problem.
The WordPress default CONFIG -> DISCUSSION is applying the disallowed words list to the CF7 forms.
Try adding this code snippet to your child theme functions.php file:
/**
* CONTACT FORM 7
* Disable WP Disallowed List for SPAM validation
*/
add_filter( 'wpcf7_submission_has_disallowed_words', '__return_false', 10, 2 );
It worked for me.

Integrate twitter in drupal 7 website

I am trying to get the twitter module (7.x-5.4) running on my local drupal 7.19 website. Already installed Oauth and registered a twitter app. I am using the keys of that twitter app.
Callback URL
http://localhost/drupal-7.19/twitter/oauth
twitter host
http://twitter.com
Twitter API
https://api.twitter.com
Twitter search
http://search.twitter.com
TinyURL
http://tinyurl.com
when I want to add at least my own twitter account so that the site can display my tweets. when I want to add this account, an error occurs:
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$data in Twitter->request() (line 131 of root\modules\twitter\twitter.lib.php).
Could not obtain a valid token from the Twitter API. Please review the configuration.
any ideas? thanks in advance.
In my case, uncommenting the line
extension=php_openssl.dll
in php.ini resolved the error.
I'm not sure this will work for you, but this worked for me. I had the same exact error, even though I had followed the documentation. Here's the test: go to admin/reports/status. If you see the following warning: "HTTP request status Fails" this means your drupal/LAMP stack is unable to use DNS to callback to itself. In my case I used my machines's IP to access my Drupal instance. So, rather that use "localhost" use your machine's IP address (you can use ipconfig on MSWin or ifconfig on Mac/Linux) and use that for finishing the twitter account setup process.
Again, not
http://localhost/drupal-7.19/twitter/oauth
but
http://10.0.1.9/drupal-7.19/twitter/oauth
(substituting your machine's IP address)
I was getting the exact same error which i fixed by adding appropriate proxy server details.
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$data in Twitter->request() (line 131 of C:\wamp\www\test_twitter\sites\all\modules\twitter\twitter.lib.php
The problem was due to proxy-settings. I added values for $conf['proxy_server'] and $conf['proxy_port'] in settings.php and this error vanished.
I also verified that if i remove the proxy settings, this error is reproduced again.
Install oauth_common and twitter on your Drupal site
Check that both Oauth and the Twitter modules are enabled. I didn't use any of the other Twitter modules to do this
Go to the twitter module in Drupal
Go to the Configure (button) -> settings (Tab)
(note that the Callback URL is http://localhost/yourwebsite/twitter/oauth i.e. it doesn’t have to be 127.0.0.1)
Click on the link that says register your application
Go to twitter and sign in to be a developer
Add a new application, making a distinct feed name
Enter your site details
For localhost use: http://127.0.0.1:8000/twitter/oauth for both the website and callback URLs
Press save when you've done
Next go to the Test OAuth button - this will give you your illusive consumer key and consumer secret key
Back to the Drupal website and and to the twitter module to configure (button) -> settings (Tab)
Copy and paste these consumer and consumer secret keys you just got
Press Save configuration
Hopefully no errors.
Go to the twitter tab in the module and hopefully your twitter avatar has appeared
Read the top of the page where it says "Tweets are pulled from Twitter by running cron. You can view the full list of tweets at the Tweets view."
Select the View Tweets checkbox and click view - Chances are your tweets won’t show up in the next window - yet
Go to your drupal Configuration screen and to [System] Cron and press the "Run cron"
Now go back to view tweets from the twitter module and they should all appear
[This was a pig to figure out]

Connecting an ASP.NET application to QuickBooks Online Edition

I am trying to create an ASP.NET page that connects to QuickBooks Online Edition, read a couple of values, and display the results. So far I have downloaded the QuickBooks SDK but I have been unable to find a simple step-by-step example on how to create an asp.net page to connect to QuickBooks Online. The QuickBooks SDK documentation and the SDK itself is very confusing and overwhelming. Anyone know of a simple step by step tutorial on where to get started... or maybe a hint on the very first thing to do.
Yishai's answer is partially correct, but not entirely.
You can have your ASP .NET application log in and issue requests without having to send the user over to the QuickBooks Online log in page if you make sure to set the security preferences correctly when you connect up your application to QuickBooks Online Edition.
During the application registration process/connection process, it will ask you if you want to turn on or off login security with a prompt as below. You must tell it you want to turn off login security if you want to be able to access QuickBooks Online Edition data without forcing the user to log in every time. The prompt is something like:
"Do you want to turn on login security?"
You must select:
"No. Anyone who can log into [Application Name] can use the connection".
Outside of that, Yishai is correct about the process. To re-iterate, in a nutshell:
Register for a QBOE account
Register your integrated application with Intuit's AppReg service
Visit a specific link to tie your AppReg application to your QBOE account (make sure you turn off login security when it asks you!)
Make HTTPS POST requests to Intuit's servers to sign on using the connection ticket Intuit will provide you with
Make HTTPS POST requests to send qbXML requests to Intuit's servers, which you can use to add, modify, delete, and query records within QuickBooks Online Edition.
There is some additional documentation and some example requests on my QuickBooks development and integration wiki, specifically the QuickBooks Online Edition integration page.
I have built a solution that does what you're asking in PHP which adds, modifies, and queries data within QuickBooks Online Edition without requiring the user to log in everytime, and it works like a champ. It pushes and pulls order data between a PHP shopping cart (VirtueMart) and QuickBooks Online Edition. The PHP code is available here:
QuickBooks PHP Framework
As a side note, unless you're very familiar with generating SSL certificates and sending them via HTTPS POSTs, you'll save yourself a whole lot of trouble by using the DESKTOP model of communication, and not the HOSTED model. Just make sure to keep your connection ticket securely encrypted.
Also, Yishai's suggestion to: "One is to programatically hit up their login page and submit the credentials as if you were a user. I'm sure its not "supported" but it would likely work." goes specifically against the security/developer guidelines Intuit and the SDK set forth. If they catch you doing that, they'll ban your application from connecting to QuickBooks.
Here are all the steps I took to get this working. Special thanks to Keith Palmer for his comments, answers, and his website which really helped me get this working.
Register your application at http://appreg.quickbooks.com. This will give you your App ID and Application Name. I used these settings:
Target Application: QBOE
Environment: Production
Application Type: Desktop
(using Desktop made things much easier as far as not needing certificates)
A verification key is sent to your email address which you need to enter on page 2 of this wizard.
Set up your QBOE Connection. Once you finish registering your application in Step 1, you will then have an Application ID. Use this ID in the url below to set up your QBOE Connection:
https://login.quickbooks.com/j/qbn/sdkapp/confirm?serviceid=2004&appid=APP_ID
NOTE: Make sure to replace APP_ID in the above url with the Application ID that was created when you registered your application.
The wizard will take you through the following steps:
Specifying a name for your connection.
Granting Access Rights - I gave All Accounting rights since this was easiest.
Specify Login Security - I turned Login Security Off. This is important since it makes submitting the xml to the QBOE much easier since you do not need to get a session ticket for each user.
You will then be given a Connection Key.
At this point you now have the 3 important pieces of information in order to gain access to your QuickBooks Online Edition (QBOE) account.
Application Name
Application ID
Connection Key
Post the XML to QBOE with the 3 pieces of access information and the actual request into your QBOE database. Here is sample c# code that will post to the QBOE gateway. This will return all customers in your QuickBooks database. Make sure to update the xml below with your Application Name, Application ID, and Connection Key.
string requestUrl = null;
requestUrl = "https://apps.quickbooks.com/j/AppGateway";
HttpWebRequest WebRequestObject = null;
StreamReader sr = null;
HttpWebResponse WebResponseObject = null;
StreamWriter swr = null;
try
{
WebRequestObject = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(requestUrl);
WebRequestObject.Method = "POST";
WebRequestObject.ContentType = "application/x-qbxml";
WebRequestObject.AllowAutoRedirect = false;
string post = #"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8"" ?>
<?qbxml version=""6.0""?>
<QBXML>
<SignonMsgsRq>
<SignonDesktopRq>
<ClientDateTime>%%CLIENT_DATE_TIME%%</ClientDateTime>
<ApplicationLogin>APPLICATION_LOGIN</ApplicationLogin>
<ConnectionTicket>CONNECTION_TICKET</ConnectionTicket>
<Language>English</Language>
<AppID>APP_ID</AppID>
<AppVer>1</AppVer>
</SignonDesktopRq>
</SignonMsgsRq>
<QBXMLMsgsRq onError=""continueOnError"">
<CustomerQueryRq requestID=""2"" />
</QBXMLMsgsRq>
</QBXML>";
post = post.Replace("%%CLIENT_DATE_TIME%%", DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss"));
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml(post);
post = xmlDoc.InnerXml;
WebRequestObject.ContentLength = post.Length;
swr = new StreamWriter(WebRequestObject.GetRequestStream());
swr.Write(post);
swr.Close();
WebResponseObject = (HttpWebResponse)WebRequestObject.GetResponse();
sr = new StreamReader(WebResponseObject.GetResponseStream());
string Results = sr.ReadToEnd();
}
finally
{
try
{
sr.Close();
}
catch
{
}
try
{
WebResponseObject.Close();
WebRequestObject.Abort();
}
catch
{
}
}
Couple things to note:
As pointed out by Keith Palmer the qbxml version needs to be 6.0 (even though the IDN Unified On-Screen Reference shows 7.0)
I needed to include the onError="continueOnError" attribute.
Setting the WebRequestObject.ContentLength property is required.
Content Type needs to be "application/x-qbxml"
And finally I received many "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request." exceptions which were not helpful at all but in the end I was able to trace them to something wrong with the xml. So if you get this exception look to your xml as the source of the problem.
The outline of what you have to do are outlined in Chapter 7 of the QBSDK documentation (at least in the 7.0 version of the SDK that I have). You have to open a test account and get permission to connect to their servers.
Once you have your account setup, the basic authentication procedure consists of redirecting your user to the QuickBooks Online site to log in, and once the user has done that, QuickBooks calls back your application with an HTTPS post with a ticket, which is basically a session handle that you can use for your requests, so that the system knows you are authenticated. When you get that response, you parse it and send your own login request to the system based on what you got back.
Then (if I understood the documentation correctly) you are basically doing Https POSTS of xml files with the QuickBooks requests, and you get XML responses that you have to parse to get the data you want.
I hope that gets you started.
The rest of the SDK is documentation (which you will need to know how to form your requests and parse your responses) and everything else is concerned with how to communicate with the desktop product. The only thing you are going to need from the rest of the documentation is how to do error handling, which is really only important if you are posting data to QuickBooks. If you are just reading, it doesn't matter (either your request works out or it doesn't, you don't need to worry about if you need to retry or if that would result in duplicate data).
EDIT: Given your specific use case I see two options. (You aren't crazy, just not the typical QuickBooks Online scenario).
One is to programatically hit up their login page and submit the credentials as if you were a user. I'm sure its not "supported" but it would likely work.
The other is to cache the results (which you should probably do anyway) and have an admin screen where someone does log into QuickBooks online and update the results every morning or evening or whatever makes sense.
In most small businesses, they are going to opt for the first option, but the second one is going to work more consistently, robustly and actually be supported by Intuit if you have an issue.
This looks pretty close to what you need: www.QuickbooksConnector.com
Wasn't able to download it yet.
