Hello Allessandro,
Unfortunately, this is not a possibility at this very moment.

Hello... does anyone know if it's possible to use predetermined codes instead of generating them?
Thank you

Hi Guys, just tried to use the plugin after upgrade to moodle 3.8 and when clicking on signup with coupon code it gives this error:-, tried uninstalling the plugin and re-installing but no joy.
Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: verify_https_required() cannot be used anymore.
Please speak with your admin to resolve this error
Any help or fix would be great as love this plugin.
Thanks

Hi, first of all thanks for your work on coupon block, it is a great contribution to the moodle community.
I would like to ask some (development) guidlines, since I would like to use it in a little bit different scenario where the coupons are not personalized nor specific to a course, but one coupon code can be used to enroll a user in only one course.
With one coupon code a user (whichever loged-in user) could enroll only to a course that he will choose (this means that the coupon code is not attached to a specific course).
From a user point of view, I immagine that:
- a user will click on a course that he/she is interested in,
- this redirects him on the enrol page (moodle/enrol?id=course_id) where he has the coupon code field and the submit coupon
- he enters the coupone code and with that he gets enrolled to the specific course. From this point on the coupon code is claimed and can't be used any more.
Also if there is a different flow that can easy the implementation of my user case, I accept any suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Frosina

@Wade, sent you a private message. Thanks for reporting, we'll look into it ASAP.
@Teo / Guiseppe: there will be an updated version of the plugin soon. Reason for not finding the archive of coupons when downloading turned out to be character conversion (the download option required ALPHANUMEXT as parameters, so basically all letters, number plus underscore and dash character). This will be fixed in the new version.

Hi, recently deployed this plugin and it has alot of nice features however I have been unable to receive any emails from it when sending coupons to specific recipients. The Moodle site has no issues sending emails (registration, bulk messages etc) but this plugin always reports the coupons as "Sent? No", when checking the scheduled date its always the date of issue e.g. 01/07/2019 but with a time of 12:00AM .
I've also noted that the cleanup tab cannot be accessed with the below error:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT MOODLELIB.UNDO_MEGA_HACK(MOODLELIB.TRICONCAT(c.id, '-', e.id)) as idx,
c.submission_code as coupon, e.*, null as action
FROM m_block_coupon c
JOIN m_block_coupon_errors e ON e.couponid=c.id) AS t
[array (
)]

Any help would be very appreciated.

@guiseppe/teo,
is it possible for either of you to confirm that there are in fact zip files (coupon should be in the name, along with a code) containing the generated coupons in the moodle data directory?
Even though the new version has been tested by multiple persons seperately and we've never encountered this specific issue ourselves, something is clearly not working right.
Thanks in advance, cheers.

I have the same issue. When I create a new batch of coupons there is a message in moodle with a link to the files for download and an email is sent containing the same link. I have tried both ways to download the files and none is working. There is always a message that notifies you these files have been downloaded.

After the previous Moodle update (3.6.3) the plugin does not send the coupons attached to the mail but are still downloaded from the site after creation. With Moodle 3.6.4, mail still doesn't work and now I can't download coupons because they look like they've been downloaded. Does anyone have my same problem? Solutions?

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. The added bonus of the plugin grabbing the progress of the coupon user is great! By using the cohort feature, I can keep each companies employees together and then can easily locate progress information for the employer.

Hello pierpaolo,
As far as we're aware, there are no issues related to a 7.x version of PHP. The new version has been tested both by us and on of our clients, without issues.
Please do take note of the many changes in the language files if you're going to use anything other than English. If you have any further questions you can always send me a note
Cheers

Hello,
I would like to update my server to PHP 7.2 and I'm using coupon module.
Is there anything I shoul kwno before upgrading? is there any known issue?
Thank you
Pierpaolo

New version 4.0.0 is here.
Please note you *should* really take a solid look at your translation/language customizations files IF you've ever customised any. I cannot stress this enough!
Lots of translations have been changed, so any customisations should be reset in some cases.
If you make use of the CSV/manual upload functionality, this is pretty much a requirement.
Also please note all translators *should* revise the AMOS translations due to massive changes!
The reason for saying this is because coupons are no longer being sent as an attachment: we've changed functionality to a include download link for the coupons.
This is due to the fact we've increasingly received issues where the "mail was never sent". However, it often was send but dropped by the mail provider (e.g. gmail wouldnt accept attached files).\
If any recieved emails still state something about "attachments being included", this *is* a sign you should revise your language customisations because no more attachments are included.
Please read the release notes/changelog! A lot of smaller issues have been resolved and a massive code overhaul was done.
In case of any questions: ask!
Cheers,
Rogier

I have a suggestion for a possible improvement of this very nice plugin. When you want to generate pdf's it's only possible to see the end result when sending them actually with mail. It would be nice when there would be an option to show the pdf before sending. E.g. with a button to show the - to be generated - pdf in a modal window. Especially when you are testing with different logo's, or with text-adjustments, this would be very handy.
