Bundle of email-renderer and email-caller fixes triggered by a
reproducer on picpeak.nothaft.cloud (gallery_created mail showing
literal `{{#if welcome_message}}` markers and `Passwort: (set at
creation)`). The audit that followed surfaced six more user-visible
defects in the same surface; all are fixed here so customer-facing
mail renders cleanly.
Renderer (`backend/src/services/emailProcessor.js`)
- `safeTemplateReplace` now resolves `{{#if VAR}}…{{/if}}` blocks
before flat `{{var}}` substitution. The shipped templates have used
Handlebars-style conditionals since migration 026; the renderer
ignored them, so the markers leaked verbatim into every mail with
an empty welcome_message. Lifted to module scope and exported so
the conditional contract is unit-testable. Single-pass, non-nested
(commented).
- Added `passwordSetAtCreationI18n` next to the existing two i18n
password sentinels so `(set at creation)` (sent by the publish-
from-draft flow when only the bcrypt hash remains) is localised
to "Das bei der Erstellung der Galerie gesetzte Passwort" /
equivalent in EN/DE/NL/PT/RU instead of the raw English string.
- Added an opt-in `{ escapeHtml: true }` mode to `safeTemplateReplace`
so admin-supplied free text (`event_name`, `host_name`, …) is
HTML-escaped on substitution into the HTML body. Allowlist of
passthrough keys (`welcome_message` already-HTML, server-generated
URLs `gallery_link` / `client_link`). Subject and text body keep
the legacy unescaped behaviour. `formatWelcomeMessage` now escapes
before nl2br so the welcome_message allowlist is safe.
- New `htmlToText()` strips `<style>` and `<script>` blocks (and
their content) before tag-stripping, decodes common entities, and
collapses whitespace. Used by the textBody fallback in
`sendTemplateEmail` — without this, every template missing a
`body_text` produced a "plain-text" mail starting with the 100+
lines of CSS embedded by `wrapEmailHtml()`.
- The client-access section (#172) now mirrors its HTML block into
`textBody` using the same per-language strings, so plain-text
recipients see the link / PIN / warning. `pinLabel = 'PIN'` moved
into `clientAccessI18n` (RU uses ПИН-код).
- Added `getSupportEmail()` exported helper that reads
`branding_support_email` from `app_settings` (JSON-decoded), with
the SMTP from-address as fallback. Used by the gallery_expired and
archive_complete callers below.
- Removed dead `require('handlebars')` (unused since the regex
renderer landed; pre-existing lint error in this file).
Callers (data the templates already reference)
- `expirationChecker.js queueExpirationWarning`: send `expiry_date`
(templates use this, the old code sent `expiration_date` —
typo'd key, never read), drop the hard-coded `.de`/`en` sniff
(the processor formats with the recipient's resolved language),
add the `{{password_security_message}}` sentinel for
`gallery_password` (plaintext is gone by warning time, so
customers used to see literal `{{gallery_password}}` in the mail).
- `expirationChecker.js handleExpiredEvent`: both queueEmail calls
now supply `host_name`, `event_date`, `expiry_date`,
`support_email` so the EN/DE/NL/PT/RU `gallery_expired` template
doesn't render literal `{{host_name}}, your gallery expired on
{{expiry_date}}`. Skip the duplicate admin send when
admin_email == customer_email.
- `archiveService.js`: `archive_complete` queue now supplies
`host_name`, `photo_count` (from `photoEntries.length`),
`archive_date`, `support_email` — the previous payload had only
`event_name` and `archive_size`, so most of the mail was
unfilled placeholders.
Tests
- `__tests__/services/emailProcessor.safeTemplateReplace.test.js`:
16 cases — flat substitution, conditional truthy/falsy/missing/
multi-line/sibling/numeric-0, plus 5 cases for the new
`escapeHtml` option (default off, escape on, allowlist
passthrough for welcome_message and gallery_link).
- `__tests__/services/emailProcessor.htmlToText.test.js`: 7 cases —
the regression scenario (full wrapped body with embedded `<style>`
block), tag-stripping, entity decoding, paragraph spacing.
- `__tests__/utils/formatters.test.js`: 12 cases for `escapeHtml`,
`nl2br`, and the now-escaping `formatWelcomeMessage`.
35 cases total, all green. Lint clean on every touched file
(also fixes a pre-existing `no-prototype-builtins` warning in the
process). Pre-existing failures in
`__tests__/services/backupService.enhanced.test.js` are unrelated
and pre-date this branch.
Draft Mode:
- Events are created as drafts by default — no email sent until published
- Add "Publish & Notify Client" button with confirmation dialog
- Draft banner with yellow styling on event details page
- Draft filter tab in events list
- Gallery middleware blocks public access to draft events
- Migration 076 adds is_draft column to events table
Admin Draft Preview:
- Admins can preview draft galleries via JWT preview token (?preview=)
- "View Gallery" link on drafts auto-appends preview token
Admin & Login Page Branding:
- Admin header uses configured company logo/name from branding settings
- Login page shows configured logo instead of hardcoded PicPeak
- Respects logo_display_mode (logo_only, text_only, logo_and_text)
OG Tag Branding:
- DynamicFavicon component updates OG meta tags and page title from
branding settings
Editable Client Email:
- Customer email is now editable after event creation in edit mode
Branding Inheritance:
- New events inherit hero logo settings (visibility, size, position)
from global branding configuration
Share Link Full Domain URL:
- New getFrontendBaseUrl() utility with DB fallback to general_site_url
- Used in email processor and share link service
Replace column-based email template languages (subject_en/subject_de) with
a normalized email_template_translations table where each language is a row.
This allows adding new languages without schema changes.
- Add migration 075 to create email_template_translations table, migrate
existing EN/DE data, and seed NL/PT/RU for customer-facing templates
- Update processTemplate() to query translations table with fallback chain
(requested lang -> en -> first available), with legacy column fallback
- Restructure admin email API to return/accept translations object format
- Update frontend EmailConfigPage with dynamic 5-language tabs, translation
count badges, and copy-from-language feature for empty translations
- Add Dutch to default language dropdown in general settings
- Add Dutch to clientAccessI18n and password security messages in emails
- Expand email domain detection for NL/BE/BR/PT/RU domains
- Add email i18n keys (copyFrom, noTranslation, etc.) across all 5 locales
- Add Russian (Русский) to admin settings language dropdown
- Fix Premium layout hero using thumbnail instead of hero_url
- Hide "Uncategorized" section header in Story layout for uncategorized photos
- Add PhotoLightbox to Story layout so photo clicks open full-screen view
- Use full-res images in StoryPhotoCard instead of thumbnails
- Defer public gallery auto-login text until settings/locale are loaded
- Add validation and debug logging for email logo URL construction

- Fix dimension repair for external media by using photoResolver instead of hardcoded paths
- Extract photo dimensions via Sharp during external media import
- Remove duplicate theme useEffect from GalleryView to prevent flash/revert race condition
- Pass event welcome_message to Story layout footer for per-event customization
- Add email_primary_color/email_secondary_color settings with admin UI color pickers
- Add i18n keys for email branding in all 4 locales (en, de, ru, pt)
The email template preview modal was showing only raw body HTML without
the styled wrapper (green header bar, logo, footer with company name)
that processTemplate() applies when sending. This made preview not match
what recipients actually receive.
Extract wrapEmailHtml() from processTemplate() and reuse it in the
preview endpoint. Also fix logo URL to use FRONTEND_URL consistently.
Closes#229
This feature allows users with non-standard SMTP setups (shared hosting,
self-signed certificates) to bypass certificate validation when needed.

- Update emailProcessor.js to pass TLS option to nodemailer
- Update adminEmail.js routes to handle the new field
- Add checkbox UI with security warning in EmailConfigPage
- Add English and German translations
