RE: Liferay 7 Private Messaging portlet

Greetings,
I really hope that someone can help me with my problem.

The situation is as follows:
1. I created a user group, assigned members to it.
2. I created a public and a private page template.
3. I used the profile portlet and the private messaging portlet on the public and private pages.
4.The problem now is that no one can send private messages to no other user of our website.
5. Everytime you enter the recipient, your message and if u then try to send the message, it gives you the error message: "Your request failed to complete.".
6. But interesting is that a user can send a private message to himself???

We are using Liferay 7 CE GA3 and no Social Office.
Does anyone have a solution for me?
Thanks in advance,
Marcel

Could this be the private messaging portlet exceptions in one of the logs?

I also got problem with private message portlet,
while I sent attachment, the sender can download the attachments, but the receiver can not download the attachments.
the receiver got the link localhost:8080/user/user1/messaging/-/private_messaging/thread/..... this link can not download the attachments,
but if I copy the link and I change the user1 to user2 (because the sender is user2) with login user2, the attachment can download.

anybody got this problem? or any configuration that I miss?

Hi,
I have the same problem and Ihave another problem.
While the user add a new private  message, the notification email is sent from admin@mail_domain. I set "Mail Domain" in "Instance Setting" section in Control Panel, but I do not know "admin" comes from where?

Thanks in advance,
Banafshe

Hi
What is "default email address from" property in the portal-ext.properties file?

Thanks for your reply!
Not in this file, nor in the portal configuration (in the database), "admin" does not exist at all. That's why I'm confused.
Can it be a default value in this portlet?

I think that is on part of your mail configuration.
what is the mail configuration in Control Panel → Configuration → Server Administration → Mail ?
portal send emails by this property  : admin.email.from.address
also you can search in portalPreferences table in the database for this property.

There is no problem when other portlets like Message boards or Media and Documents send notification emails. These portlets use the value of admin.email.from.address.
But I checked the log file, and I noticed that Private messaging portlet sends email from admin@mail_domain.
To make sure, I changed the value of "Mail Domain" in "Instance Settings" section and I found that the sender email of this portlet has been changed.

If this portlet does not have any configuration for sender email so this is a bug.
I could not find any document for configuaration this portlet and seem this is not available in github.
Since the Private Message Portlet is "ee only" in marketplace so you can create an issue here if you have subscription.
