Missing Function "action_change_email" on serveradmin.tt2

[CorneliusC]

Hi,
I’m Cornelius from „Fraunhofer Gesellschaft“ in germany.
We use sympa 6.2.16 for our +60 institutes with nearly 30.000 employees.

I just tried your newest version and there is also one function in the
serveradmin.tt2 template missing.

We had the old version 6.1.17 running until 2016, there you could
Change „old_email“ to „new_email“.

I added the part manuelly to the file serveradmin.tt2 (Line 70 to 81):
serveradmin.tt2.txt

This is very important to us, because we have several name-changes through
the year. Also we use strict access by smartcard. So after the rename of one
user it would only be possible to change the e-mail-adresse by hand in the
mysql-database. But the best way is to change it with the template function.

You can still do this on the command line:

SYMPA_HOME/bin/sympa.pl --change_user_email --current_email=OLD --new_email=NEW

But, yes, we too miss the convenience of doing it via the web admin UI.

6.2.19b.1 restores change_email function as "move_user". Please check it in serveradmin and pref pages, then report if it works sanely. Thanks.

Version: 6.2.19b.1

In serveradmin.tt2 changing email works.

But not in user preferences. In user preferences there is no "Change email" button.

After changing the code (pref.tt2) I can see the button, I think there is a typo:
value="[% user.email %]
should be
value="[% user.email %]"
no closing quotation mark (line: 46 https://github.com/sympa-community/sympa/blob/6.2.19b.1/default/web_tt2/pref.tt2).

Changing user's email, Do you really want this action to be taken
I click "Confirm", new error message pops up:

@MargoM , could you please retry renaming from the beginning, with corrected pref.tt2?

[MargoM]

My modification in default/web_tt2/pref.tt2

- <input type="hidden" name="current_email" value="[% user.email %] />
+ <input type="hidden" name="current_email" value="[% user.email %]" />

Now in Sympa 6.2.19b.2 this works fine! Thanks!
