Quickmail

I downloaded the package zip file and compared the contents to an older version of the Quickmail package (2012061112) that I happened to have handy. The main thing that stands out is the presence of the __MACOSX directory in the new version. Would this cause the problem with mdeploy.php?

Robert,
I'm getting the same error when I try to "Install this update" of Quickmail from the plugins overview page on our moodletest server running 2.7+. Is there some problem with the package file on the moodle.org site?

Mike, wrong plugin.

I just tried to add the Attendance module and am having a missing from disk error for the Quick Mail plug-in. Any ideas how to remedy this? As an admin, I am unable to do anything in Moodle until this is fixed and I can't fix it. I'm hosed...
I'm getting this error:
exception 'zip_exception' with message 'Invalid structure of the zip package' in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mdeploy.php:1422
Stack trace:

There is a bug with the latest version of QuickMail when you're using it with an Oracle database. For more info, see my Jira issue here: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-5144

Quickmail has been tested to work with 2.7. Please let me know if you have any issues.

How is quick mail with Moodle 2.7?
Does it work?

Hi I added the quick mail block to my moodle and I tried to send email to my personal hotmail and gmail and moodle tells me that the mail is sent successfully but the mail is not received. Why?? and I would like to know if I have to run the script email.php or what?
Note:I followed this: Use the Moodle Cron package. The simplest way is to use this little package MoodleCron-Setup.exe, which makes this whole thing very easy by installing a small Windows service. Run it and forget about it!
Is it enough? Now I don't have to worry about cron.php anymore?

We are about to release the next version of Quickmail which allows for admins to send emails (via the site page or my page) to anyone within Moodle via the user filter build into Moodle. This will be available by next weekend. We are finishing up some final requests and testing now.
We will also remove the AS table aliasing to please Oracle. Damn them for adhering to ANSI...

Hi Robert,
Just wanted to let you know that I have changed them (3 places in get_non_suspended_users() function of lib.php) to uppercase, but Oracle still complains about it.
It seems like Oracle doesn't like "AS" or "as" as the keyword in table alias at all.
Cheers,

It's was "as" not "AS" (lol) that I have removed. Never thought Oracle would be that picky.
Thanks so much for your quick response.
Cheers,
Bei

Bei,
Oracle is pedantic about keywords being uppercase, so I've changed them to uppercase. Thanks for the heads up.

Bei,
There is no artificial limit to the number of addresses you can add in the "additional email addresses" field.
Also, where did you remove the AS keyword from? It may be something else thats causing the issue as (lol) AS is optional, but good-to-go, in Oracle.

We installed quickmail 2014022713 in our Moodle 2.6.2, and had to remove "AS" keyword in FROM clause in lib.php to match up the Oracle syntax. Other than that, the plugin works fine.
A quick question though, what is the maximum number of emails we can enter in the "additional email addresses" field?
Many thanks,
Bei

Thanks guys for 2.6. I use it all the time for my groups - awesome plugin.
