Mail

Hey, thanks for this great plugin! Is there a possibility to add a free variable parameter? So that I can just type "Dear #User" and it is automatically replaced by the user name I write to? Would be useful for mails to many students.

Can confirm it is now working in our environments (MySQL) when upgrading to 2.8.
Thanks for fixing it quickly.

Hi, unfortunately there´s an errot while upgrading the plugin:
Debug-Info: You can't specify target table 'o1ei_local_mail_message_refs' for update in FROM clause
DELETE FROM o1ei_local_mail_message_refs
WHERE id IN (
SELECT r.id
FROM o1ei_local_mail_message_refs r
JOIN o1ei_local_mail_messages m1 ON m1.id = r.messageid
JOIN o1ei_local_mail_messages m2 ON m2.id = r.reference
WHERE m1.courseid != m2.courseid
)
[array (
)]
Error code: dmlwriteexception
Please check! How can it be solved?
Thank you!

The upgrade to Moodle 4.3 gives an error message so I'm unable to upgrade. Can you check on your end? Thank you.

Hi, the following error occurs for us when trying to upgrade to the latest version in our environments from version 2024020300 to 2024031400.

Good morning, first of all, thank you for the development of this plugin that is being of great help to us for communications in the educational communities of our centers. Special thanks for the latest update of the plugin that allows it to be used from the app, something that we greatly missed.
We have installed this new update of the plugin on a Moodle 4.1.6 and in the tests we have seen that the app does not open the window to select a file to attach to the email.
Best regards

Hello!
We have installed version 2024021200 on our Moodle 4.1.8. Unfortunately, the problems could not be solved with the new version. Some users do not see participants in the selection list even though they are enrolled in the course. Furthermore, emails cannot be sent to groups. I think that used to work.
Best regards

Hi,
Great idea, thanks for your work.
Two remarks, v. 2.4 on Ubuntu 22.04.4:
1.
web notifications turned on,
once the email is received, after refreshing site,
two notifications appear: one on the bell (regular site notification), one on the envelope (Mail plugin).
Too much, I think, a user has to click five times to fully remove it.
I believe, the envelope would be enough.
2.
there are no push notifications, no pop ups or anything.
In order to see the new message one needs to refresh the website.
It would be absolutely great if there would be some push thing or a pop up.
All the best,
Piotr

Hello
We have been using the local_mail plugin for a long time but since the last update, when the course setting is "separate groups", it is impossible to select users when sending an email.
Thank you for your feedback

Hello!
Thanks for the feedback. The teachers are enrolled in the courses. I tested this myself with a course. You have released a new version. I'll try it with that.
Best regards

Hi Annie,
You need to be enrolled in at least one course to use Mail.
Cheers

Hi, just a short question. In installed your plugin on 3 moodle sites, 2 of them has been upgraded to 4.3.3 and the plugin is visible (letter icon) and usable. The 3rd moodle is a completely new one. I installed here as well your plugin but there´s no letter icon, no option to use the plugin. Under plugin I see that it is installed, in the DB is also everything fine. So why I can´t get access? Do I need further settings? Thank you a lot in advanced. Cheers

@Friedhelm Küppers: Make sure teachers are enrolled in all the courses in which they need to use mail, just having the capability to view the course is not enough,

Hello!
We have installed the current version 2024020300, which fixed some bugs for us. Unfortunately, we now have the problem that for some teachers the students from the course are no longer listed in the recipient list. If you have a different teacher, not all courses will be displayed in the Courses list.
Best regards
Friedhelm
