Do you have plans for a 4.0 version?
Will this work with version 4.0.x?
@Jochen
Thank you for your feedback.
Would you be able to raise a github ticket as a feature request, so that I can allocate my time and see if I could work.

The plugin is great but I miss an additional functionality. Currently the reminder setting for the start and the end of an activity is coupled. In our case we use reminders 16, 7 and 1 day before an activity ends. That is not useful for the actvity start and annoying the course participants. We only need one reminder e.g. 1 day, 2 hours or 30 minutes before an activity start. Should it be possible that in a further revision the reminder setting for activity start and activity end could be decoupled?
Hi Isuru,
Thanks for getting back and explaining the requirement of having activity completion enabled. I don't have activity completion enabled, so that explains why the reminders are sent. I've disabled the sending of overdue reminders for the time being.

Have you enabled activity completion under this assignment settings? This must be enabled to be eligible for not receiving reminders after an assignment is submitted. Otherwise, everyone will get a reminder email.

Could you please let me know which Moodle and plugin versions are you using?
If you could reproduce this easily, could you please raise a bug with the steps in here. So, that I could look into when releasing the next patch. https://github.com/isuru89/moodle-local_reminders/issues
Thanks
Yes, I'm also getting overdue reminders sent to students who have already submitted their assignment.
When we use the useroverride function in assignments with individual duedates, overdue reminders are posted even though the assignment is handed in.
Anybody else experinced this?

Sorry if I am answering too late. But upgrading 1.5 -> 2.5 is a huge upgrade and within those versions, the plugin has supported this overdue activities feature.
I think you could have disable overdue reminders during the upgrade where it asks in a page to confirm all new plugin settings. This could have avoided your situation and later once upgrade is completed, it could have been enabled again.
@Ridhima Yes, I am expecting to upgrade the plugin as soon as I get a free time.
Will this plugin be available for Moodle 4.0?
Running many Moodle 3.10 sites. We recently updated the plugin on one of our sites from 1.5 to 2.5, causing a flood of email notifications regarding overdue activities. In the schedule task logs, we can see that the task ran from January 2020 until now (December 2021). The whole task took over 10 hours to complete. How can this happen and how can we prevent it? We had no problems with other sites performing the same update.
I'm assuming this will work with the subversion, 3.11.4?
Hello! I have some events of type "other" in my calendar. Are they assimilated to another type of event ? Is there any way to confgure reminders for these "other" event types ?
Cheers!
