This seems super hacky to me. Is this special case for reminder mails really necessary?
| func_s = func_str(func) | ||
| if func_str(func) is "remindermail": | ||
| item = pickle.load(args) | ||
| func_s = "remindermail_"+str(item['_id']) |

I think this will break the update. the update_one below identifies the function by name, so if the name is changed, the original function cannot be updated anymore.

We have already discussed this in the chat shortly -- might it not be easier to add a periodic task sending reminder mails for all upcoming events?

As fair as I can see, REMINDER_EMAIL_TEXT is not in the current app settings. I think we should provide a default, similar to the signup confirmation

We have recently moved to templated email messages using jinja2 and send multipart email messages with an HTML and a plaintext version. Due to this change, this pull request must probably be reworked as it is quite old now. |
