Hello Kees Koopman. You can definitely edit the string file in the language file. Do you know how to do that? You can probably even do it through the moodle web site interface, I'm not sure though. https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/Language_customisation .
What info do you not want people to see?
There isn't an option to disable the message inside of quickmail though.
Hi,
When I send a mail to users with an attachment, the user gets more info then I want.

Is this info normal? Can I disable this message?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have submitted my issue, posted on April 17th, to Github: https://github.com/lsuits/quickmail/issues/179
Has anyone else experienced any issue with upgrade? The plugin manager indicated there is an update, then I tried to install it from there, it keep going back to the click here to install. It never gets updated. I have 2.8.5+ running.
Thank you.
I get the following error while trying to restore a course WITH Quickmail history set to "yes" (in courses with a history to restore). I'm using Moodle version: 2.6.10 (2013111810) and Quickmail version 2014042915, but the problem existed with 2014022713, as well.

Hi David,
Sorry for the late response from my end. I spent last couple of days testing out various combination of backup and restore, with or without the user date and quickmail history, from one server to another server etc.
Good news ... the newer version of quickmail plugin (2015122912, v1.5.0) is actually working with the backup/restore as expected.
Bad news ... the ORACLE error 01722 that I ran into is only linked to that particular course. From the error snippet, does 'o_itemid' => '' string means no value to pass in as a parameter? Would that be the problem (because this column is no-null field? If yes, what would cause this no-value?
So far other courses that I have run all passed the test.
If you can help me to understand what causes it, I will be in a better position next time.
Thanks a lot.

The "version.php" included in this package ("block_quickmail_moodle28_2014042915.zip") says it's version "1.5.0", not "1.5.1"
version.php:
$plugin->version = 2014042914;
$plugin->requires = 2013051400;
$plugin->release = "v1.5.0";
$plugin->maturity = MATURITY_STABLE;
I updated my server with this package (1.5.1), but the notification area keeps saying there is a new version "1.5.1" available.
"$plugin->version = 2014042914;"
The file I downloaded is "...2014042915.zip"
@Ricardo , what is your question? The 1.5.1 version is just the 1.5.0 version without the auto directories mac osx puts in things occasionally. If it doesn't work correctly use 1.5.0
Version 1.5.1? https://moodle.org/plugins/download.php/8377/block_quickmail_moodle28_2014042915.zip
version.php:
$plugin->version = 2014042914;
$plugin->requires = 2013051400;
$plugin->release = "v1.5.0";
$plugin->maturity = MATURITY_STABLE;
There is a 1.5.1 version without MacOSX dirs now. Thanks.
Just noting that the download zip files have obviously been done on OSX and are stuffed full of __MACOSX directories which is a bit annoying. You might want to sort this (direct link to Github zip download maybe).
@Bei Chapman, I do not know why, but will try to recreate it on my server. I have tested with 2.8 though and did not get an error like that. I use MySQL but there's no DB code in the restore files that isnt just DBA Moodle function calls. So it shouldn't matter. I'll look into it but it may be awhile, please let me know if you end up fixing it. If you can, it'd be helpful to know exactly which step in the restore process it fails on, perhaps even a screen shot, and also try it without the history option on and off, with the settings option on and off, and see which permutations throw the error.
Hello, I am testing quickmail (version=2015122912) in my 2.8.3 environment. Everything works however the restore with the quickmail history fails with the following error. Please note, my moodle is using Oracle at the backend.
Debug info: ORA-01722: invalid number
SELECT * FROM m_029D826700013 WHERE backupid = :o_backupid AND itemname = :o_itemname AND itemid = :o_itemid
[array (
'o_backupid' => '7acf23bd032e1509b69f5a03fb2db73b',
'o_itemname' => 'user',
'o_itemid' => '',
)]
Error code: dmlreadexception
Any idea why and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Bei
To Matthew and Robin, As far as I know it works fine in 2.8, please let me know if you find a bug. I have used it and tested it on 2.8, but only in a test environment and not in an actual live instance.
