535863 - Add better default email message that contains data of the event

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Participation Infrastructure :: Phonebook, defect)

Description

[Tobias (:Tobbi) Markus]

When signing up to an event on mozillians.org, the email message you get doesn't contain any data about the event but only 'Enter your default confirmation email message here'.

I got it during signing up for an event @ https://mozillians.stage.mozilla.com/node/244/signups

Also the email should come from a @mozillians.org address such as [e-mail] instead of Jays email.

I have just found that the confirmation message is set by the creator of the event. I also believe the creators email is used as the "from address" of that confirmation email. 

The confirmation message should default to something useful and I still think that a "official" email should be used to send signup confirmations. 

Jay: this should go in your "best practices guide", to always change the confirmation email settings when creating a event.  Im am dropping this from a blocker to critical.

Tom: Completely agree.  There is a lot dependent on what the creator of content provides, so will be sure to include this in the best practices guide. 

I'm pretty sure there is a way to change the default "from" message, so will look to update that (and create necessary email alias) next week during the data cleanup.

This bug applies to an earlier version of the community directory that is no longer being developed.

Bumping to verified due to the passage of time. This bug applies to a version of the website that is no longer being developed.
