Event Reminders

A student has added a course event reminder from their login, and as an admin, I can see the reminder in the course's reminder section. However, neither the student nor I are receiving email notifications for this reminder. For example, if the student sets a reminder to receive an email in 15 minutes, no email is sent. Could you advise on which setting I might be missing?

Hi, thanks for this plugin - very helpful for lots of use cases!
On issue I haven't figured out yet is that even though I select a reminder schedule of 7, 3, 1 days in the site settings, when I come down onto the course level, it shows the schedule as only having '3' checked, and I can't add other options. What is the relationship between these settings? Thanks so much

Hi!
We have a problem with the plugin. For some reason it only sends emails on the day of the assignment deadline at around 4-5 pm. And it still won't send reminders for all the activities scheduled. Here is what I found in the log:
Error: lib/moodlelib.php email_to_user(): SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/TroubleshootingSMTP server error: QUIT command failed
Scheduled task failed: Local Reminders (local_reminders\task\send_reminders),Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string
Could you please help us solve it?

I will look into this.
Apparently, the author of the above mentioned PR has included another changes related to custom time reminders as well (It is not only about enabling zoom). So, at that time, I did not merge it without a proper testing for those custom time changes.
Anyway, my expectation is to find a way to provide a more convenient way that users can specify which event types they can enable reminders for instead me (plugin) hard-coding them inside the plugin code. I wanted to do a small poc on top of it, but I did not have the time because of my mainstream work. But I will look into it. Keep in touch.

Hello!
I noticed on GitHub issues that someone resolved the Zoom Reminders issue. Will this solution be made available to the public? We rely on Zoom Events for our students, but it's currently not functioning as it doesn't recognize Zoom as an activity.

Do I understand correctly that there are no individual settings for separate course? That means settings will be same for all courses I manage as admin. I want to have custom settings for different courses.

Hi, Since I change my moodle site to another server, the messages from the event reminders plugins are sent with the wrong server, the last one. I changed the outgoing settings in the server section of the administration site. But, unfortunately, I did not resole my problem. Where can I make the modifications correctly?

Hi! Is there some sort of queue for outgoing emails or will it send lots of emails at once?

Hello,
Have you test the plugin on a moodle 4.1 (.5+)
Regards

Hi Isuru, images are not displayed in notifications sent by the plugin. Do you know why. we only have an icon displayed instead.
THANKS

Hello. I just installed the plugin. I want to limit reminders to only chosen assignments. I'm not sure how to set reminder for a given assignment. The documentation is not very clear for me on this matter. Could you help me ? Thanks.

I very much appreciate this functionality. We have been presented with concerns about presenting the "Cut-off date" to learners within email notifications. This information may confuse learners from the actual deadline. How can this be removed or disabled? I do not see options via the visual admin interface. I am reviewing the recent code package and was hope you could suggest associated php files or config to update. Thanks!

Upgraded to moodle v4

Hello, I sincerely hope you are able to find time soon to upgrade the plugin to 4.0 .. not complaining, but its been a while since February

Hi found how course reminders are set and managed within a course, it's great! Trying to understand how Site or Category events send reminders, or how are those set ? Thank you for this work.
