Quickmail

We are attempting to install the quickmailmodule... this is the error we get...
Invalid get_string() identifier: 'modulename' or component
'mod_quickmail'. Perhaps you are missing $string['modulename'] = ''; in mod/quickmail/lang/en/quickmail.php?
Has anyone resolved this before?

Thanks for the update (both informational and software release), and also thanks for the link to more information. Much appreciated.

Hi all,
I'm sorry for the lack of response from LSU on this thread recently. Philip Cali, the former lead developer on the Quickmail project, no longer works for LSU. While he has valiantly tried to keep up with the emails that he receives regarding Quickmail, it does not and should not fall to him to continue to maintain a page for a block which he no longer works on. I have updated the maintainers for this block and we will be more active in responding to posts and questions.
We are indeed in the midst of upgrading to 2.5. Jason Peak did quite a bit of updating Quickmail yesterday and is in the process of pushing the newest version to Moodle.org. While wevwill do our best to be responsive on this thread, the easiest way to report issues and to follow Quickmail development is by accessing our github repository, found here: https://github.com/lsuits/quickmail.
Best regards,
Buddy

I found this, posted at github a couple of months ago by someone with LSU listed in his/her organizations: "we are about to switch into upgrade mode here, eying a move to 2.4 or 2.5 late in summer. That means that everything we maintain, including QM, will be made up to date soon."

Hello,
When will we have the version for Moodle 2.4 and 2.5?
thank you
Daniel

Moodle version 2.3.3+ (Build: 20121123)
Quickmail $plugin->version = 2012061112
File attachments aren't being sent with email. Is this a config issue? They are not being blocked on the receiving end.

The 2.4 dev build from github fixes the error reading from database for me.
I didn't have any option but to push it to production.
I'll be looking forward to the official release for 2.4 and 2.5

Quickmail $plugin->version = 2012061112;
Is there a fix for the problem where the Potential boxes on the compose screen are chopped off on the right side of the screen?

I got the "Error reading from database" message today. We are just beginning to pilot Moodle 2.3, but I don't remember having any issues with Quickmail when I installed and tested back in February.

I seemed to have fixed the problem by going to Site Administration > Plugins > Blocks > Quickmail. I noticed that "Roles to filter by" had no roles selected, so I selected the three that are listed as default under the box (Teacher; Non-editing tearcher, Student), and saved changes.
The "Error reading from database" message went away. Hopefully my problem is fixed.

We have been using the dev version (https://github.com/lsuits/quickmail/tree/2.4_DEV) of this block on Moodle 2.4.3 for a little while with very few problems. I am not sure that I'd use it in production, but it might work in a pinch to get you through.

Dear,
Our moodle is v2.4.3, I download the quickmail v1.2.8 (2012061112) for Moodle 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.
Debugging mode is turn on, after install it, the message is shown:

And I have patched CONTRIB-4278 above, the error message is still displaied when I click "Compose New Email"
Debug info: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 1
SELECT * FROM mdl_role WHERE id IN ()

how to solve?
Thanks.

Patch for the above is here: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-4278

Role names are not showing up in Role Filter (Compose an email). If a role has an alias then it shows, otherwise you get a blank value.

Also installed on 2.4.3 and having the same message as Frankie. When can we expect an updated version for 2.4 / 2.5 maybe. Thanks again for the good work!
