@Zoran Jancic As you reported in Github, I have started this to implement with next release with support of Page, File and any other mods that supports Moodle core completion API.
Stay tuned for next release and progress can be seen in https://github.com/isuru89/moodle-local_reminders/issues/113
@Chirine Nassar Thank you for your response. If you think this is a feature that needs to be implemented, could you please report a feature request in GitHub repository so that I can find a way to provide it.
Also, regarding suspended users. I was under the assumption that Moodle itself will discard outbound messages for suspended users. Because that's what mentioned in the help tooltip near the suspend option under a user.
Hello,
I just setup the reminders plugin and i have a question which i cannot solve on my own so far. Everything works fine, but I cannot find the where i setup the message (not the title) of the reminder that is sent to the receivers. In other words, where can i setup the message of the reminder? Please answer me thoroughly and step - by - step. Thank you in advance smile
Hello,
We have the following problem with reminders.
Remainder sends Activity Overdue email, even though the student turned in the assignment at the correct time.
For example this happens with a configured assignment
Due Date: April 14 12:30
Cut-off Date: April 14 12:35
If a student upload a file to assignment previous due date, for exameple April 14 12:00, after April 14 12:35 receive an activity overdue email.
But the student upload file in time.
This is a bug true?
The workaround was disable Activity Overdue Reminders
Thanks,
Andrés
Hello,
Maybe i missed in reminder settings, but is there a way to set the riminders plugin, so that it is not preeset to send all reminders in your calender? We have a lot of users, some would like to use this plugib, and some would probably not use it. So if it was preset to not send reminders, and only those who want them on would turn them on, that would be great.
We are using moodle 3.9.3
Reminders 2.2.4
Thank you.

I installed new version released 08.03.2021. on Moodle 3.7.9. Works great but I noticed something that appears to be a bug. A checked the option "No reminders once completed" but users who completed activities with upcoming dates in calendar are still recieving reminders. I tested with "closing date reminders" feature only and "expected finish date" Moodle feature for Page and File resources.
Hi. We would like to disable the days of the reminders by default. We expected that teachers check the day they would like to sent the reminder for an activity, a course or an event. Instead 1 day, 3 days and 7 days are checked by default and teachers need to uncheck the days they do not want. That is problematic and laborious for teachers. We would like them to check what they want instead of unchecking the reminders they do not need.
I have also noticed that reminders were sent to suspended students although we have installed the latest version of the plug-in.
Thank you for your help.
@Gazi Saleh Akbar
I sense a bug here. Is this event due in same day (very close time?) because according to the logs, it says 0 days ahead.
If you can report this issue in github with reproducible steps, I can provide a fix.
Thanks
@Stefano Tirati
This reminder plugin supports all moodle core plugins, but for a third party plugin to be complied with this plugin it needs to add calendar events with a type course, category, due, group, site or user. Not sure what kind of events type they are adding to the calendar event db.
@Ewan Evans
The plugin is already compatible with Moodle 3.9 and should also work with 3.10 as well.
The official 2.2.3 plugin version has just released with a contribution of Privacy policy for GDRP.
Thanks
Hello Isuru, When will a version compatible for Moodle 3.9 be available?
Moodle is currently sitting on 3.10, and I'm hesitant about moving over while this plugin is instrumental in my current site.
Dear Isuru,
thank you for this plugin, it works very well and it is very effective.
We are having an issue with the Calendar Events generated with Scheduler (https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_scheduler)
Although Events generated via Scheduler appear on users's Moodle Calendar, we have not managed to let Event Reminders "recognise" them and send same notifications (created, updated, cancelled, reminder)
Would you be available to advise on how to handle this?
Many thanks
Stefano
Students received about 30 email reminders within a short period of time on the same day reminding them about a Zoom Meeting event in a course. What could have caused this?
