It seems that setFrom in LimeMailer.php is called several times when I just send one email. I tried to make and grep some log and found

        [function] => setFrom
        [file] => /var/www/html/lime/application/core/LimeMailer.php
        [function] => init
        [file] => /var/www/html/lime/application/core/LimeMailer.php
        [function] => __construct

--
[function] => setFrom
[file] => /var/www/html/lime/application/controllers/admin/tokens.php
[function] => setSurvey
[function] => email
[file] => /var/www/html/lime/framework/web/actions/CAction.php

        [function] => setFrom
        [file] => /var/www/html/lime/application/core/LimeMailer.php
        [function] => init
        [file] => /var/www/html/lime/application/controllers/admin/tokens.php
        [function] => getInstance

--
[function] => setFrom
[function] => email
[file] => /var/www/html/lime/framework/web/actions/CAction.php
[function] => invokeArgs
[file] => /var/www/html/lime/application/core/Survey_Common_Action.php

        [function] => setFrom
        [file] => /var/www/html/lime/application/core/LimeMailer.php
        [function] => manageEvent
        [file] => /var/www/html/lime/application/controllers/admin/tokens.php
        [function] => sendMessage

setFrom first got a call with right parameters, then with wrong ones.

Fix committed to master branch: http://bugs.limesurvey.org/plugin.php?page=Source/view&id=29798

I upgraded to Versio 4.1.15+200402, but still filling in the name for sender field does nothing. The name from general settings is always used.

What is the easiest way to manually put in some code, i.e. to download a patch for given bug and install it?

I think new version are for today

Else you can replace application/core/LimeMailer.php by the new one https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/6edf45aab04d6ac479a2eb13c8174a96b29dc4cd

I don't get this. I said wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/6edf45aab04d6ac479a2eb13c8174a96b29dc4cd/application/core/LimeMailer.php and got file having SHA-256 sum 471cb4eecbb57263a9fbaa750947069588d57417bdabe4bcc129e29dc9ac3105. I put it to application/core/LimeMailer.php. But still, the email sender name is not changed.

I check sending email with admin GUI : it's OK

@Jmantysalo : i check without inherit

OK. So it works partially, which is currently enough. There is a clear bug remaining, though.

If I set inherit to off, then administrator is taken from the general settings of the survey. But the name put into field in "Send invitations" -screen does nothing.

You mean manual update just before send ?

Let me check (i think checked)

Yep, just before sending.

Fix committed to master branch: http://bugs.limesurvey.org/plugin.php?page=Source/view&id=29811

OK,

Please check with the new file

Thanks for report

If I click that link (or any other link in these bug report pages), I get just "APPLICATION ERROR #200 "A required parameter to this page (id) was not found." But I try to found the link myself.

Yes, now it works. Thanks!

Use diff link at bottom. There are an issue with mantis system (replace &)

OK, that works. Thanks again.

Fixed in Release 4.1.16+200407

We have this problem too in Github version 3.27.5.
