HI Sergion,
Unfortunately it can't get the users passwords. Those are stored encrypted in the Moodle database
Hi. Thanks for the plugin. Could I send the username and password in the welcome mail?
Thanks
I'm on version 2.4
I get the defective or outdated error as well.
any idea when the new version might be coming?
I really think this should have been part of Moodle proper since 2.0 released.
please let us know when it comes available.
Hey Bas Brands nice addon! Works perfectly with 2.5
Suggestion(s):
1. Increase the width size of the subject field in the settings to allow admin to see full text
2. Move the text "Default: Hello user Welcome to site" Default text below the input field in the settings
3. List more system varables to use as examples besides only user
Sorry Jan, I have been too busy working on the bootstrap theme, I am afraid that has been taking up all of my time. I'll try again next week. In the mean time keep poking me for a new version smile
Hi Bas
Any progress with the update to 2.4.X yet? It is an App that I really want to use.
Is there a way to add other fields to be sent to the moderator? I want to have some additional info sent than just the user. That would be great if we could.
Please add me to the list when updated to 2.4.1
I will update it and have a new version ready in max 2 weeks
Hello Bas,
This seems very interessing. But I am already using 2.4.1, and after the last coment I am afraid to test it. When can we aspect a new version
Hello Bas,
I tried to install Moodle welcome in my moodle 2.4 site but it doesn't seems to work.
This shouldn't be a surprise of course because I use the version for moodle 2.3.
I will wait the version for moodle 2.4....
Hi Bas, I have installed this plugin in my development version of Moodle and it works great! However when I went to install it in my production server, I am getting this error message:

Hi Bas,
Thank you! I need to use in the automatic mail the username too. Can you implement this field too? Or - better - why not all fields in the profile?
Thank you!
Hi German,
Thanks for reporting this. I have updated the plugin to have all texts in the language file.
Regards!
Hi Bas,
Moodle Welcome is a very nice plugin, but it seems that there are a few English language string that have not been declared correctly because they do not show up as available for translation in AMOS. These strings are:
"Hello"
"Welcome to Moodle 2.3"
"Thanks for creating an account on Moodle 2.3 !"
"A new user signed up on Moodle 2.3 : "
"Hi moderator,"
"A new user: "
", has signed up for Moodle 2.3."
"- Admin"
If these strings were also available for translation in AMOS, this plugin would be even better for non-English speaking Moodlers.
Thanks in advance for your help.
