I found the solution by simply trying out EMAIL_USE_SSL and it
worked. I had problems with sending emails (did not work at all, there
wasn't even a connection going on - I checked with tcpdump. Then I
found this: To use port 465, you need to call
smtplib.SMTP_SSL(). Currently, it looks like Django only uses
smtplib.SMTP() (source: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9575).
Fixes#14350.
- Updated 260+ links from ".html" to ".md" to reduce the number of issues
reported about hyperlinks not working when viewing docs on Github.
- Removed temporary workaround that suppressed all warnings reported
by sphinx build for every link ending in ".html".
Details:
The recent upgrade to recommonmark==0.5.0 supports auto-converting
".md" links to ".html" so that the resulting HTML output is correct.
Notice that links pointing to a heading i.e. "../filename.html#heading",
were not updated because recommonmark does not auto-convert them.
These links do not generate build warnings and do not cause any issues.
However, there are about ~100 such links that might still get misreported
as broken links. This will be a follow-up issue.
Background:
docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark #13013
docs: Allow .md links between doc pages #11719Fixes#11087.
Outgoing email documentation should mention that the SMTP server needs
to allow emails originating from ZULIP_ADMINISTRATOR as well as the
noreply email addresses; previously, one would typically find this out
using the test tool, which was not ideal.
Substantially tweaked by tabbott for organization and content.
Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as
to `.md` files to point to the corresponding `.html` files, so this
migration does not change the resulting HTML output in ReadTheDocs.
But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.
This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub
(so doesn't mitigate the fact that some rtd-specific syntax does not
render properly on GH), but it will prevent us from getting erroneous
issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.
Fixes: #11087.
In addition to many small edits for formatting and clarity, a few more
significant changes:
* In the main instructions, refer specifically to restarting the
server and to testing that the config works.
* Add SendGrid to the recommended list, as it seems like people
give it a somewhat stronger reputation these days than Mailgun.
* Discuss EMAIL_USE_TLS and EMAIL_PORT along with host, user, and
password in the "free services" section. Though those bullets feel
kind of duplicative to me already.
Let's get right to the point of how to configure SMTP once you know
what you want. That section is pretty short anyway; and we can have
a first step direct the reader to our suggestions if they don't know
what service they want to use.
Also adjust the hierarchy of the headings: group the various
alternative email services under one heading, and group
troubleshooting together under an independent heading.
Also correct what we say about EMAIL_PORT: the Django default is
apparently 25, so if the provider *does* use the usual port 587
then we'll need the port to be set.
This commit helps reduce clutter on the navigation sidebar.
Creates new directories and moves relevant files into them.
Modifies index.rst, symlinks, and image paths accordingly.
This commit also enables expandable/collapsible navigation items,
renames files in docs/development and docs/production,
modifies /tools/test-documentation so that it overrides a theme setting,
Also updates links to other docs, file paths in the codebase that point
to developer documents, and files that should be excluded from lint tests.
Note that this commit does not update direct links to
zulip.readthedocs.io in the codebase; those will be resolved in an
upcoming follow-up commit (it'll be easier to verify all the links
once this is merged and ReadTheDocs is updated).
Fixes#5265.
