Event Reminders

Okay, i rebooted some stuff and i do get emails, but is there a way to have them be sent out faster? I saw this in the docs, "$plugin->cron" so would i update the version file with something like this "$plugin->cron = 30;"?

I am in the course edit, i click on the top right gear to open the edit settings section, I see reminders icon. If i click that, I do see the 2 events I setup in the calendar. All the boxes are checked (activity, course, group event reminders). Under upcoming activities, the 2 events are showing with schedule having checked 1 & 3 days setup. But no email was sent out.

In the course admin area, there should be an option for 'reminders' check in there, to see if the item you have set up appears, if it doesn't then try an assignment (they definitely work as I was doing that this afternoon) - you may have to check the settings at admin level for the plugin, to include the right options, and check the scheduled tasks - there are a couple for reminders, check how often these run, and get them to run more frequently if necessary.

I tried to test by setting up a quiz in a course and have it scheduled for tomorrow, but no luck. I see it on the calendar, is there anything else I would need to configure for it to work? In the reminders plugin i have everything checked to send before 1 day.

Frank - the event reminders is based on calendar entries, so if the activity has a date set (e.g. an assignment due date), this item then shows up in the users calendar, and as long as the site settings for the event reminders plugin is set correctly, they will get an email a certain number of days before that date. So there isn't a specific items appearing within each activity.

Am i missing something, I believe i have it installed correctly; as I see a reminders link under local plugins. However, when I go to a course and click the "add an activity or resource" link, reminders doesn't show up.

Thank you for this great plugin! Does it work for courses using the Topic Format ?

Hi All,
This plugin is great, but I have four questions:
1. Are we able to enable this plugin only in specific Moodle categories?
2. Are we able to enable the reminder for opening sections (topics) within Moodle? (Notify for example that class 1 is being released today as we set the restrictions by date in this section).
3. What is the label "enabledoverdue" for, what happens if we leave it enabled or disabled?
4. How to enable the opening reminder for a task activity (assign) as we have in the quiz?
Thank you very much

When are you expecting a MATURITY_STABLE version?
KInd regards

Hi All,
I could able to release a new plugin version (v2.4) with a new feature that allows reminders to be explicitly enabled by teachers per course level. Currently, all reminders are enabled and teachers have to disable them and in a site where hundreds of courses, disabling all events, would be seemingly impossible. So, with this new feature, now Moodle admins can choose to disable activity reminders by default and let teachers enable/disable as desired.
Note: this will not affect the existing events if a teacher has enabled/disabled them on the course reminder page.
Thanks all for your feedback to make this feature complete.

Hi, with fordson theme (Moodle 3.10.4+ Build: 20210514) I return this error
generalexceptionmessage
Eccezione - Too few arguments to function reminder_ref::get_updating_send_event(), 3 passed in [dirroot]/local/reminders/lib.php on line 539 and exactly 4

I'm interested in using the reminders plugin but only on a single course. When I installed it on out test Moodle, by default it appears on all courses and is enabled. Can this be changed? Our main Moodles have 100's of courses that I'd have to go in and disable the reminder for, or am I missing something?
Thank you in advance,
Nige.

I am unclear what you want to change if it is not the title. All the other details are taken from Moodle core event object. The description part is the event description the user has given when creating it.
Currently there is a limitation that you can't add custom texts in reminders email because managing them for each reminder will be a daunting task from the user perspective.

@Andrés Segovia Thanks for reporting this.
I would like you to report this as an issue in GitHub repository https://github.com/isuru89/moodle-local_reminders/issues , So I would be able to take an action on it.

@Jani Bertoncelj
Users themselves should be able to turn off these reminders messages from their incoming messages. If they do not want reminders, they can turn off all messages matching the pattern of reminders_*
