Notificaitons GUI issue
-
I'm using this version:
2.1.5-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Mon Aug 25 07:44:45 EDT 2014FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p16
When I go to System -> Advanced -> Notifications and I set SMTP E-mail there, I check "Enable SMTP over SSL/TLS" and Save it. When I click "Test SMTP", I get the test email properly but when the GUI of pfsense refreshes the "Enable SMTP over SSL/TLS" gets unchecked. Is this normal or a bug in the GUI? The notification won't work without that setting checked. Should I just not send a test email after checking the setting?
Please help. Thanks.

It was a GUI display bug, fixed here in GitHub since 2.1.5 - https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/cce09d9431e15c84aeef2a3117b840d9f969ff02
Put the latest usr/local/www/system_advanced_notifications.php from GitHub 2.1 branch on the system and it should work.
Or else press the "Save" button first, then do "Test", then navigate away from the page without saving again. -
But I already have 2.1.5? Isn't that the same?
Also, if I press Save and then press Test the checkbox get removed also but notifications seem to work (like the box is checked). That's what you mean, right?

No, the fix is since 2.1.5 - it is only in GitHub, not in any release yet. If there were to be a 2.1.6 (e.g. some new security issue…) then this little fix would come along in 2.1.6. But so far there a no fixes since 2.1.5 that are worthy of all the effort to put out a general release.
And yes, the problem is cosmetic. If you save your settings, then test, then navigate back to the dashboard without saving again, then the correct settings are stored in the config. You can go back to that settings page and they should be displayed. The display of the settings is all that goes wrong, after pressing the Test button.

Gotcha, thanks!
