Hi there
Love this plugin, is there any way to add data fields? I would love to the username to this list. Given that our students have a student number as a username, a lot of them tend to forget it. Getting it as a reminder before start of a course would really help.
Thanks in advance!

I am experiencing an issue when attempting to duplicate a message in Moodle version 4.3.3+ with the Quickmail plugin version v4.2.1 (2023070700). The error message I receive is as follows:
block_quickmail\filemanager\message_file_handler::__construct(): Argument #1 ($message) must be of type block_quickmail\persistents\message, null given, called in [dirroot]/blocks/quickmail/classes/filemanager/message_file_handler.php on line 79.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance or solutions to resolve this problem. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Has anyone used the 4.2 version with moodle 4.3?
Help! Running the latest version of Quickmail on Moodle 4.1.7 and Quickmail seems to be picking up the same messages from old courses and dropping them in mdl_task_adhoc for processing. How can I stop this from happening? This has been happening since Moodle version 3.11
As a teacher, I cannot duplicate a previously sent Quickmail message.
This is the message:
Exception - Argument 1 passed to block_quickmail\filemanager\message_file_handler::__construct() must be an instance of block_quickmail\persistents\message, null given, called in [dirroot]/blocks/quickmail/classes/filemanager/message_file_handler.php on line 79
I think that we are now on Moodle 4.1.5 but this Moodle error message occurred earlier.
(Great plug-in btw. I use it to schedule and notify students of impending events.)
Is v4.2.1.1 compatible with Moodle 3.11? We are getting an error message with v2.5.0:
PHP Deprecated: Required parameter $coursecontext follows optional parameter $includeusergroupinfo in {path}/blocks/quickmail/classes/plugin.php on line 214
We are looking at upgrading our PHP version on our production server (PHP 7.4.33) but getting this error message every time our corn runs on our test server (PHP 8.0.30) is disconcerting.
I tested that version 2021120302 from GIT works fine on Moodle 4.2.1
Is Quickmail 2.5.0 compatable with Moodle 4.2? I just upgraded to 4.2 and lost my Quickmail Block. Uninstalled the plugin and reinistalled it and still do not have the option to add the block. Mnually tried to initiate Quickmail by using blocks/quickmail/broadcast.php and received the following error:
Sorry, but you do not currently have permissions to do that (Add a new Quickmail block to the /my page).
Stack trace:
line 48 of /blocks/quickmail/classes/plugin.php: required_capability_exception thrown
line 43 of /blocks/quickmail/broadcast.php: call to block_quickmail_plugin::require_user_can_send()
The elements integrated in the message (files, images...) are accessible on the Moodle platform thanks to the link located in the email.

Hello,
Quickmail works perfectly on Moodle version 4.1.2.
But, as before, images embedded in text or associated files are not transmitted in the email.
Use the latest version available on GitHub.
Or an email address so I can send you the block file I'm currently using.

We are upgrading to Moodle 4.1.2, and I was told that Quickmail
is incompatible with Moodle 4.1.2. Is this true?
Hi, I'm also wondering what's happening with 4.x? Anyone have any idea?
Hi - not seeing a lot of responses to the same question, but I'll throw it out there anyway! Are there plans to bring this to Moodle 4.X?
Best
Hi ,
are there currently efforts to adapt the plugin for Moodle 4.1 and PHP8?
regards
Files (attachments/embedded) are almost completely broken in the latest versions. All embedded files are stripped out and all attachments are lost if saved as draft. I have a pull request that fixes both and also makes images show up in emails correctly. The development on this plugin seems to have stalled out.
