Is there a way to disable digest emails from some users via the Rails console like in the example code below? I’m trying to read in from a list and turn off the digest emails if that email address is in the list. The line u.user_option.email_digests = false doesn’t seem to change the setting on the user settings page. (I tried it on just my own user account to test it and haven’t run the rest of the code yet.)
# rails c
users = User.all.select { |u| u.id > 0 }
processed_users = []
txt = File.open('no_email_digest_list.txt').read
lines = txt.split("\n")
h = lines.map { |x| [x.strip, true] }.to_h
users.each do |u|
if h.has_key? u.email
u.user_option.email_digests = false
u.save
processed_users << u.email
# puts u.email # dry run
end
end
puts "updated #{processed_users.count} users"
I’m only disabling it for about 1,500 accounts at the moment, not all the users. Is there a way to only disable it for users whose email addresses appear in a text file?
This isn’t exactly related, but it’s another email problem – does anyone know why my new install isn’t sending emails for private messages or forum replies? It’s sending some types of emails – even a digest to me (because I’m the only user who has them set for every 30 minutes).
In the screenshot below, we’ve sent several private messages back and forth, but none of them appear to have been sent out by Discourse. It was working before the user import. I had these settings in the import script but have already reverted them. The users all do have emails enabled for private messages and mentions.
It appears that some of the emails finally sent, about 5 hours after being posted. I found the /sidekiq route, and it looks like there are many jobs queued after the import, so maybe that was the problem.
