Weekly Digest

[ahmed-arb]

We previously had a custom implementation for the weekly digest. Moving forward, we will use the Open edX email notifications feature.

• Feature enabled in PRs:
  • feat: enabled the email digest feature tutor-contrib-wikilearn#19
  • chore: updated NOTIFICATIONS_DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL and added EMAIL_ADMIN tutor-contrib-wikilearn#21
• Fixed upstream bugs in the forked frontend-app-account MFE branch and created a PR: fix: removed account level preferences in teak openedx/frontend-app-account#1376

Note: We will continue using the forked branch until these changes are approved and merged upstream, which may take some time.

To enable the feature we need to:

• Enable the notifications.enable_notifications waffle flag
• Enable the notifications.enable_email_notifications waffle flag
• Set the SHOW_EMAIL_CHANNEL env varibale for Account MFE to 'true'
• Disable Forum v2 SQL backend by adding and disabling forum_v2.enable_mysql_backend waffle flag (as in Teak forum v2 is not stable)
