Delete User by Maillist

Thanks Benjamin for adding documentation to http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Delete_User_by_Maillist - it looks really good

Hi Benjamin, I have made a start on http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Delete_User_by_Maillist for you. (As you found, you didn't have permission to create the page. You need to make at least one edit in the wiki before you are allowed to create a new page.)

Have you read http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/MoodleDocs:Guidelines_for_contributors ?
I've also pinged Helen about this in case you're having further issues.

Added the description. What about the moodle docs page? Seems like i don't have the permission to add there.

Thanks, the explanation really helps (so much that it could go into the long description area above )

There are 2 main differences to the bulk operation. One is the search by multiple keywords. When you have a list of 100 mails an want to delete the users it is much more comfortable this way. The second difference is the confirmation page. Instead of a comma separated list of the users we have a table with more information about each user. But you are right, it goes in the direction of an increased bulk function.
About the naming part we know that block_userdelete still can be registered. The naming at the moment is a compromise we also made with the other plugins we publish. We remove the company name from title and pluginname strings but leave it in the folder name. We are although in hosting business and use the keyword to quick find plugins from us on the customer systems.
So what about a moodle docs page for this plugin. I would suggest: http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Delete_User_by_Maillist

Thanks, i see it now on main page. It seems to be functioning fine.
I think this idea can evolve into a MDL improvement where
admin/user/user_bulk.php
allows quick entry of multiple matches into the filter fields (if not already managed by cohorts).
On the use of block_eledia_userdelete, please be aware that a plugin can still be registered as block_userdelete. Would you consider renaming?

Hi Aqarup,
thank you for the help with the tracker.
The block is limited to the admin at the moment but we think about to make it available by a capability in a later Version. It is only allowed on the main site.
I choose a different title when publishing, but forget to change the title in the lang file. The old title was "User Delete". I have changed that now in the new Version. It fits the name used to published here now. After publishing we will managing the lang strings within AMOS.

Hi Benjamin, thanks for your pm.
I've created the plugin's component and updated the tracker link. I've updated your documentation link too.
Yes, stable versions of moodle only increment after the decimal point. Thanks for updating that, installation is smooth now .
I can't however find the block! On that note, this really could've have been an admin tool instead of a block.
I can see it under "Manage blocks' though. What am i missing here?

Hi Benjamin,
i tried to install this for 2.5 but there were errors that you will need to correct:
- $plugin->requires can't be '2013051402' for 2.5 - see below branching date for 2.5.x.
$version = 2013051401.14; // 20130514 = branching date YYYYMMDD - do not modify!
// RR = release increments - 00 in DEV branches
// .XX = incremental changes
- perhaps a more direct url to code: https://github.com/eledia/block_eledia_userdelete/tree/v_25/blocks/eledia_userdelete
- the tracker url is only to one single tracker issue. If you want to use tracker, please create a component request so that all issues about this plugins can be created in future under that component. see https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB (note: github.com also provides issue tracking.)

Tracker created and added. As moodle docs entry i would suggest:
http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/delete_user_by_maillist

Tracker entry and moodle docs will follow.
