In type of invitation it is necessary to manage the fields [#2898225]

Original Report

Hi thanks for this module,

As you can see on the screenshot, in invitation type it is missing "manage fields".
So I can not change the body of the email.

Summary

It is not immediately obvious where to update the body and subject of the invite email. RenatoG explained how to in comment #2898225-4: In type of invitation it is necessary to manage the fields.
In the current 8.x-1.x version, it is not possible to have different email text for different invite types. It is a limitation of the current release.
There is some discussion around why this is the case and possible ways to have different email text for different invite types.
There is an error on the path /admin/structure/invite/settings. A bug report was created for this by gagarine: #3274361: The page /admin/structure/invite/settings/fields has no parent menu.

Hi @zenimagine, how are you?

For this case follow this steps:

Install Invite, Invite by email and Invite Link;
Access: admin/structure/invite_type and add or edit Invite Type;
In "Sending Method" field, check option: "invite_by_email";
In Fieldset: "INVITE BY E-MAIL MESSAGE SETTINGS" uncheck option: "Use default settings";
You should click on the link for edit manage fields: admin/structure/invite/settings/fields.

Thank you very much.

Good Work.

Regards.

Thank you, but there is another problem.
If I create two types of invitations, the fields are the same for the two types.
I can not send different invitation types.

Yes.

This is because the Fields are for "Invite" (General), not for each Invite Type.

You can create all the fields that you need, and then intercept this form in the logic of a custom project for disable/enable field that you need.

If you need this feature native in the Invite, you can create a Feature Request, okay?

Good Work.

Regards

Okay, but why create invitation types if they do not work?
I think it would be simpler to have "Manage fields" and "Manage display" in invitation type to respect the default structure of drupal.

The invitation type should look like the screenshot (a drop-down button).

I was curious as to why invites don't have bundles and thereby are able to have different fields? It seems like they have their own type per implementation anyway so it would be a great benefit to have this. Just wanted to hear the reasoning before I start implementing it?

on the invite form (admin/structure/invite/add), it asks for 'invite type'. Is this 'invite type' what is added on admin/structure/invite_type ?

I've updated the issue summary with the following information:

Summary

The original question has been answered and an issue created for the error shown in https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/Capture%20du%202017-07-28%2021-06-30....

I propose the discussion about how to implement unique email text per invite-type is best done in a new issue, and that this issue be closed.
