Does anything have to be enabled for accounts-password to send verification/welcome emails?

t3db0t · October 9, 2015, 3:54pm

Howdy all, sorry for the noobish problem, but my very simple accounts-password/accounts-ui does not appear to be even trying to send emails. The email package is installed, my MAIL_URL env variable is correctly set, and I am able to manually send emails just fine.

But when I create a user/pass via accounts-ui, I get no email. I can’t find any documentation on exactly what’s supposed to happen, though, so I’m not sure if something else has to be done?

Thanks all.—t3db0t

Hey there is Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(userId); http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/accounts_sendverificationemail and Accounts.onEmailVerificationLink(cb) http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/Accounts-onEmailVerificationLink

But I can’t find it in the accounts-ui package

Check out usage examples in my package:

github.com

juliancwirko/meteor-s-id/blob/master/client/sIdRegisterView.js#L33


},
registerEmailFieldOnly: function () {
    return sId.settings.registerEmailFieldOnly;
}
});


var afterCreateUser = function (result, type) {
sId.settings.onRegistered();
if (type === 'withEmailVerification') {
    Meteor.call('emailVerification', result);
}
Meteor.defer(function () {
    if (type === 'withEmailVerification') {
        sId.settings.messages.verifyEmail && sAlert.success(sId.settings.messages.verifyEmail);
    } else {
        sId.settings.messages.loginNow && sAlert.success(sId.settings.messages.loginNow);
    }
});
};


var createUser = function (username, email, password, type) {

github.com

juliancwirko/meteor-s-id/blob/master/server/methods.js#L24


            password: password
        };
    }


    if (sId.settings.validateUsername(username) && sId.settings.validateEmail(email) && sId.settings.validatePassword(password)) {
        userQuery = {
            username: username,
            email: email,
            password: password
        };
    }


    if (userQuery) {
        return Accounts.createUser(userQuery);
    }
},
emailVerification: function (userId) {
    check(userId, String);
    this.unblock();
    Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(userId);
}

github.com

juliancwirko/meteor-s-id/blob/master/client/sIdRegisterView.js#L3


'use strict';


Accounts.onEmailVerificationLink(function (token) {
if (sId.settings.emailVerification) {
    Accounts.verifyEmail(token, function () {
        sId.settings.messages.verifiedEmail && sAlert.success(sId.settings.messages.verifiedEmail);
    });
}
});


Template.sIdRegisterView.helpers({
sIdRegisterClass: function () {
    return sId.settings.registerForm.mainClass || 's-id-register-form';

OK, I figured it out: you can do

Accounts.config({ sendVerificationEmail: true });

And it will send the verification email for you. This doesn’t appear to be in the Meteor docs, though? Is it just me?

Yes.
But it could be explained better
http://docs.meteor.com/#/full/accounts_config

I have the same question as op, but I don’t understand the solution …

Where should I put this

Accounts.config({ sendVerificationEmail: true });

Thanks

I have email verification links working now. Not sure I did it properly, but here it is …

Add the following to /server/main.js

At the top

import { Accounts } from ‘meteor/accounts-base’;

Inside Meteor.startup

Accounts.config({sendVerificationEmail: true,});

=================

So right now, I have accounts-password and accounts-ui. When someone creates an account, they are immediately logged in and they get an email verification link.

How do I prevent them from logging in until they verify their email?
