migrate http://en.dwagn.org/wagn/Config and http://en.dwagn.org/wagn/*request+*to

Need to test if http://en.dwagn.org/wagn/*request+*to being blank will cause an error.

I'm not sure I like this solution. It means that on sites configured to have automatic signup, they have this weird bit of confusing, irrelevant info in the Basic section.

 

So it's really been the case that your email has been the default value all this time?!?!

no, the card has not existed on english til i made it yesterday. and my email isn't in it now, don't know where you got that.

 

If they change from requesting signups (that's the default, right?), they've read the details about how to change things and should get to ignore *request+*to. We could add a line to explain.

 

If it's not in Basics, how would you suggest we make it unmissably prominent?

I just took it off for now; it can wait. I don't want to have to figure this out during a freeze.

 

If we just stick something up in Basics every time someone thinks it's important, we'll just make a mess. I really don't want to make it more prominent at all, especially on our already-very-noisy config page.

 

I'd rather make it less necessary to know right away. My guess is the better solution will involve something like making it default to the address of the person setting up the account.

This is why I thought it had been set to your address: http://en.dwagn.org/card/changes/*request+*to

Ah - no, it was deleted after that.

 

I like your solution. That's more a hosting/admin thing than a code thing, yes? Do you want me to ticket it?

  --John Abbe.....Mon Jan 31 06:24:12 -0800 2011

I think I'm going to go ahead and code it so that it gets triggered by the initial sign-in. Maybe we could just rename this to "more obvious initial configuration of Account Request emails or something similar?

  --Ethan McCutchen.....Mon Jan 31 10:14:01 -0800 2011

ok, did that. feel free to improve naming.

  --Ethan McCutchen.....Mon Jan 31 10:15:11 -0800 2011

can test at http://tmp.dwagn.org/

  --Ethan McCutchen.....Mon Mar 21 10:26:45 -0700 2011

Created the initial account, but http://tmp.dwagn.org/wagn/*request+*to was not edited.

  --John Abbe.....Mon Mar 21 10:34:05 -0700 2011

Second try worked. Closing.
