Make attachement possible, when running in PSGI/Plack mode

[MaxPerl]

Hello Justin,

thank you for your wonderful tool. As described under https://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-11_22_0/features-psgi_support.pod.html no filebrowser works if one runs Dada Mail in PSGI/Plack mode.

I suggest a simple javascript file browser from which you can select files in a specific directory. Although uploading must be done with another program, but at the moment there ist no possibility to add attachement to a mail.

Thanks in advance,
Max

Thanks for the suggestion Max! As an aside, are you using Dada Mail under PSGI/Plack? If so, how is everything else working? It's marked as experimental, as I don't normally run under that myself.

I am at the beginning of exploring Dadamail. The most part works for me.

One problem I noticed is that at the startsite of the mailing list the links for sign_in and proflie_login doesn't work for me. These are relative path "sign_in/test" or "profile_login" but for me a "/" at the beginning is necessary. But perhaps the problem is that I use Dadamail from my localhost and with SMTP

Can you explain me how attachments are inserted into the mail. I could program a pure Javascript fileselector that fills a text input with "attachment1" (of course I could share it with you). But unfortunately when sending the mail to the list the attached file is not added.
Which path is needed for attachment? The URL (e.g. /dada_mail_support_files/file_uploads/attachment.txt) or the local directory (e.g. /home/username/path_to_dada/dada_mail_support_files/file_uploads/attachment.txt) or a relative path? Or is there some magic that the script must copy the attachment to a specific location?

For me sending attachment would be very important. For any hint I would be very thankful..

Best wishes,
Max

sorry, me again :-)

I think I solved it for me with #1187

The only problem I encounter is, that I have to hardcode the settings in DADA/Config.pm. The settings in .dada_files/configs/.dada_config were not recognized.

But for me the workaround is okay at the moment.. Perhaps I will add CSS styling later (the code of fileselect comes from my CMS, so that I can look what styling there works okay)

Best wishes,
Max

Neat - I'll check it out (I was out of town last week)

[MaxPerl]

I added some styling at /app/dada/static/css/vendor/foundation/app.css. I hope this is the right place :-)

For me this workaround is fine (in the future a kind of preview for images and videos would be great perhaps, but at the moment better than nothing :-) )

Best wishes,
Max
