'Arrive at topic' ignored when re-sending invites

Bug
1

Priority/Severity: Low

Platform: Discourse in Docker on localhost (Arch Linux)

Description:
Actual Result: ‘Arrive at topic’ is ignored when re-sending invites.
Expected Result: ‘Arrive at topic’ should be included when re-sending invites.

Reproducible steps:

  • write invite e-mail to a specific e-mail
  • add topic (‘Arrive at topic’)
  • create invite link & send mail
  • correct Mail arrives at MailHog (“user1 invited you to ‘Test Thread’ on localhost”)
  • click ‘resend all invites’
  • wrong mail arrives at MailHog (‘user1 invited you to join localhost’)
  • interestingly, the ‘custom note’ is in both mails

In either of these cases, When you are clicking the invite link, are you already logged in?

I have not tested this for a while so am not aure what the expected behavior is.

Hi @tobiaseigen, I just tested it!
No, in both cases I’m not logged in, when I open the invite-link in a different browser to the one, where I’m logged in as admin.

Welcome to Discourse!

You were invited by:
user1
Your account email address is XXXX.

Username
Password

Accept Invitation
Already have an accout? Log In

It’s interesting, that the invite link I receive, is starting with: http://localhost:3000/invites/
I’m no expert but that 3000 sounds like some docker specific setting maybe? Not sure if that is expected.

That URL makes me think you did not follow the official install instructions. It becomes harder to help you find answers to your questions.

That said, the URL likely has nothing to do with this topic.

But you could rule it out by trying to replicate the invite bug you are experiencing on another site, like try.discourse.org or on a free trial on Discourse hosting.
