        Mr_Monkey:sure lets do this then ! ( setting up our mailer agent ) !
      • 2021-03-16 07528, 2021

      • divyanshu
        Mr_Monkey : we should place this mailer inside of src/server/helpers? or i was best wondering to make a new folder like src/server/services and them make mailer.js inside of it

        divyanshu: server/helpers seems like the right place. We already have other similar tools in there.

        Hi guys, i was adding my first book in BB and had a rough time categorizing a self-help book, the current categories supported by BB are somewhat lacking and i feel like supporting the BISAC categorization would make categorization much easier! =D
      • 2021-03-16 07538, 2021

      • bouhormq
        BISAC, which stands for Book Industry Standards And Communications, is a globally accepted system for categorizing books. Maintained by the Book Industry Study Group (https://bisg.org/) BISAC codes provide writers a uniform method for categorization.

        what do you guys thing?
      • 2021-03-16 07542, 2021

      • Mr_Monkey
        Definitely agree that we have a lot of missing Work types (there's BB-403 and BB-404 open for that), but not sure about Bisac, which is more aimed at consumer-facing uses. I'd rather see the community come up with the types needed; having a whole separate type for "gardening", for example, seems perhaps not adapted.

        yes indeed

      • CatQuest
        this has been on the backburner for me (but whnever i adda work i also face this issue)

        this*
      • 2021-03-16 07516, 2021

      • CatQuest
        bouhormq: a good idea would to write down the "types" you come across that we seem to not have, i deeply feel that we should let reality dictate the types we need
      • 2021-03-16 07547, 2021

      • CatQuest
        (but also to be broad. so maybe not "self-help book" but try to figure out *what kind* of type is "self-help" books?)
      • 2021-03-16 07506, 2021

      • CatQuest
        for eample, diet or excersise and meditation ones seem to also be th same kind of*thing*
      • 2021-03-16 07536, 2021

      • CatQuest
        maybe even broader? "non-fiction" seems *too* broad
      • 2021-03-16 07509, 2021

      • CatQuest is off t othe library
      • 2021-03-16 07522, 2021

      • bouhormq
        Sure =D CatQuest ill be adding a couple of books to BB this week and ill be sure to write some categories we could add, how many categories would you guys suggest that are somewhat reasonable? I feel like having 50+ could be a bit overwhelming, i was thinking maybe around 20-30 would do the job but i would love to hear your thoughts about it đŸ˜„

      • Mr_Monkey
        divyanshu: The setup in production is a bit complicated, but you don't need to know about that exactly. The configuration should be added to the file `config/config.json` (and config.example.json) that way the configuration is flexible.
      • 2021-03-16 07552, 2021

      • Mr_Monkey
        Something like this perhaps, unless you have other things to add to it :

      • Mr_Monkey
      • 2021-03-16 07532, 2021

      • divyanshu
        Okay let's keep it that way !
      • 2021-03-16 07503, 2021

      • Mr_Monkey
        And in production we have some dynamic system that will write the appropriate values to the config when we deploy.
      • 2021-03-16 07523, 2021

      • Mr_Monkey
        divyanshu: and I haven't mentioned —but you might have guessed— that we'll be using an SMTP server
      • 2021-03-16 07534, 2021

      • Mr_Monkey
        We're in a closed systme in production, se I don't think we'll need any authentication, but I'll check.
      • 2021-03-16 07559, 2021

      • Mr_Monkey
        (By closed system I mean the SMTP server is only exposed to the docker network)
      • 2021-03-16 07548, 2021

      • Mr_Monkey
        Saying all that because this is what an example of the nodemailer config:
