Hello,
After upgrading Moodle to version 3.6 or 3.7, Quickmail V1 stopped working.
I get the error message "There are no users you are capable of emailing."
I modified /blocks/quickmail/js/selection.js line 53
return $("#mform1").submit(function() {
Changed "#mform1" to ".mform", like
return $(".mform").submit(function() {
Now Quickmail V1 Can support Moodle 3.6 and 3.7
Is there a way to customize the email opener text when sending to mentors: "You are receiving this message because you are assigned as Mentor of the intended recipient. The following is a copy of what was sent to the recipient."
Hi! We love the plugin, would it be complicated to create an export and import functionality, so that we can export our QuickMail messages from one moodle and import it into another?
Also set the “Send messages as background tasks” to no.
Sebastian, cron must be running! If you want emails to always send NOW, set the “Send Now threshold” to 0.
Hi I'm using Quickmail V2 (beta) and Moodle 3.7. When I want to send an email to all course participants, always I receive the message "Message will be sent shortly" but they never send. sad
Excuse my english and thanks for your work!.
Currently running 3.6.3, build 20190322
I'm trying to troubleshoot Quickmail and consistenly run into the following error->
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$id in wwwroot\moodle\lib\moodlelib.php on line 6176
^seams to repeat once per email it tries to send
The following pops up occasionally->
Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in wwwroot\moodle\blocks\quickmail\classes\message.php on line 119
Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in wwwroot\moodle\blocks\quickmail\classes\message.php on line 123
^repeats once.
At first I thought it was because I was trying to message a ton of people at once, but I got the above errors when I tried to email myself. Some of the emails get through, and the ones that do receive it get it consistently. The warning indicates that some value isn't populated. How do I tell what's missing, and how do I fix it?
Hello Stephen,
Yes Quickmail works well under Moodle 3.6.
The problem is that we're all about to move to Moodle 3.7, if not already done!
Moodle is evolving too fast.
Sincerely Daniel
I was informed that the version of Quickmail that is available in the Plugins directory is "V1"; if you want the new "V2" version, you need to download it from github (https://github.com/lsuits/block_quickmail). This fixed the issue I was having after upgrading to v3.7. Thanks to Chad Mazilly for pointing me in the right direction...
Same experience with "no users you are capable of emailing" after upgrading to v3.7. I've not been able to find a workaround for this, so hoping for an update soon.
Hello: Will QuickMail support Moodle 3.6 (or 3.7) soon? I'm running Moodle 3.5 via a SAS provider (Software as a Service). Upgrading to Moodle 3.6 or 3.7 will remove incompatible add-ins and associated data such as QuickMail, a very useful tool which I'd like to keep using.
We are also experiencing the "no users..." error after moving to 3.7. It looks like the JS code that defines the "mailto" hidden form field is not finding any selected users. Is this a known bug?

Hello,
after upgrading Moodle to version 3.7, Quickmail stopped working.
I get the error message "There are no users you are capable of emailing."
Are you going to test the plugin on 3.7 soon?
best regards Manolis.
Hello! I've been reading the code and I found very interesting all the changes that you've been doing since 3.5 version. I could also see in Github that you guys are very organized with the versioning of the plugin. At the moment, there isn't a tag created for 3.6, does it mean that right now the plugin doesn't officially support Moodle 3.6? Are you planning to release a 3.6 version here in the plugin directory?
Thanks for sharing this plugin, keep up the good work.
Hi Ron,
I am also in 3.6 and my students can send a message to the instructor.
Look at your plugin configuration
