Removed german translation folder, as that is apparently being updated by AMOS
I have added a new version of quickmail, it uses the additional name fields for moodle 2.6 and updates the context function that was depricated in several locations, it should work with 2.6 and was made backwards compatible with 2.5 as well.
It primarily adds two columns in the log, to keep track if any messages weren't successfully delivered.
Thanks Tomasz, I have updated that link.
"More documentation on this plugin" link is wrong and needs to be updated.
I'm just going to test the current Quickmail in 2.6 as there are reports it is throwing an error in that version. But the stack trace looks like a simple fix...so can't be that much work! It's only changing some depreciated class name smile
OK, Buddy, very very sad, but thanks for the honest reply.

To all that are asking about 2.6 release, I cannot give an ETA. We only do site upgrades once yearly, so we usually jump two point releases. Our next upgrade will be to 2.7 in Summer 2014. If we get the opportunity to upgrade and test Quickmail for 2.6 before then, we will try to do so, but our development queue is backlogged, so I cannot make any promises. I do apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.
Cosmin, we actually have a separate feature called Admin Email that we use to send global email. if you are interested, it can be found in our GitHub repo here: https://github.com/lsuits/admin_email
^ I am curious about the same thing. We are wanting to upgrade to the most current version but this may hold us back to 2.5...
Echoing others questions smile , any ETA for a 2.6 release yet?
HELP please:
Getting Internal Server Error on Moodle v2.5.3. Installed quickmail v2.5 as block and when I click on 'Compose new email', below error is displayed.
--------------------------------
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@xxxxx.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Does anyone have any idea how to send a global email (with access to all the system users)? I only managed to send an email from a course to the enroled users or from a fake course with all the users enroled.
For anyone else getting a 500 error. When I uninstalled the module and reinstalled it using the install add ons option (site admin - plugins - install add-ons) it worked just fine.
Buddy,
We are self hosting. I have about 5 different instances of Moodle 2.6+ running. Thank you.
Yong Ra, we are looking into a similar issue. Are you self-hosting or do you use a vended solution?
