Hi All,
I am delight to announce that a new major version of plugin (v2) has been released for Moodle 3.5 or above. It has so many features. https://github.com/isuru89/moodle-reminders-for-calendar-events#changelog
Hope you find these features useful.
If you find any bug, feature or pull request please report it in here https://github.com/isuru89/moodle-reminders-for-calendar-events/issues
Cheers.

Hi All,
I am expecting to do a major release (v2.0) of this plugin with below most requested features. Hopefully, you all can give me feedback and ideas in here https://github.com/isuru89/moodle-reminders-for-calendar-events/issues
1. Automatically send reminders when a calendar event is just ended, but a user has not completed the activity (assignment, quiz)
2. If a calendar event updated/created/removed, the status will automatically be notified to all respective users.
3. Add timezone and location information to the email
4. and many more bug fixing.

@Pankaj
Do you have the cron logs for that run? And also, if you have access to Moodle database, could you please check whether there are events falling it to that date range in mdl_events table. Reminders are sent based on the events table. I suspect there would be entries in there. Otherwise, the plugin never sends reminders for older events. With cron logs, it is easier to find an explanation.
If it is not, please raise a bug with the reproducible steps here. https://github.com/isuru89/moodle-reminders-for-calendar-events/issues

Hi I have just installed the plugin and its awesome it has solved a lot of my problems. But I am facing a serious trouble.
Reminders for my upcoming events are fine.
The plugin is also sending reminders for some old course activities which are already finished. It has also send 2 reminders today 02.03.2020 for an event on 04.03.2020 but I have crosschecked there is no activity scheduled in that course on that specific date. How is this happening and how can I solve this?

Hy all!
This plugin is very helpful. I am using it for my website www.scootersforknee.com and I love it very much.

The changelog of version 1.7.
+ Excluded suspended users from course/activity events (#27)
+ Renamed admin cron function so that conflicting with legacy (#26)
+ Totara conflicting class name issue fixed (#25)
+ Support for moodle v3.8

Hi All,
I am glad to announce that I have released a new version (v1.7) which fixing several bugs and with the support of moodle 3.8.
Your feedback is welcome.

@Ben
It should work in 3.8 as I know there are no breaking changes in the existing API.
@Dave
I should be able to filter out suspended users from sending an email. However I thought the moodle common library method filtered out all inactive and suspended users, but it seems not.
I would be grateful if you can raise a ticket with reproducible steps in here (https://github.com/isuru89/moodle-reminders-for-calendar-events) so that I will be able to include in the next release.

I have just noticed that if a learner is suspended from a course, they still get emails reminding them of events even though they are suspended. Can this be changed to only send emails to active users on the course, rather than all users. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your development! Can I use it for 3.8 without problems? Any experience?

Kathryn - within the site admin settings for the event reminders, you can specify which roles recieves the reminders - e.g. set these so they only go out to students. This would effect all reminders across the site (e.g.whatever you set applies to all courses). Or you would have to create groups withint the course, and set the assignments to be for specific groups to resrict the reminders that way, but I expect that would end up creating more problems than it solves.

Hello, thanks for the plugin. I just have a questio. I have 5 different user roles, on the course page are 5 assignments - the assignment should only be completed by users of a certain role. How do I set it so that only the relevant role receives the reminder email and not everyone enrolled in the course? At the moment, everyone in the course is getting an email to say the assignment is due, even if they do not have the permission to submit? Thanks, Kathryn

Hi Isuru,
firstly: thank you so much for this plugin, I was searching for something like this for ages.
Secondly, I wanted to ask whether the plugin actually works on Moodle 3.7. I was trying to set it up, and in logs I even see that the cron task was started and found one event with deadline that should me sent as reminder, but no e-mail was ever sent. Is this just me, or do you know what might be causing this?
Thank you, Robert

Firstly thanks for creating this really useful plugin, I have only recently discovered it and already love it. I notice that the emails from 'Course' events include the description, whereas emails from 'Group' events don't include the description - is there a reason for this? Would it be possible for the group reminders to also include the description (or give us the option of including it if we want it)? Thanks in advance.
