Hi, the plugin indeed sends email to the user but not to the admin. Do you have an idea ?
After updating to Moodle 3.1, notification shows «The following plugins in your system are using Events 1 API deprecated handlers: 'local_welcome'. Please, update them to use Events 2 API. See https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Event_2#Event_dispatching_and_observers
Hi Bas, as Richard, Peter and John, im trying to send the welcome mail to user with oauth2, the plugin detected and list the oauth2 in the auth plugins settings but the mail is not send.
Is posible to send this mail with oauth2? Thanks in advance
Your plugin simply doesn't work on my site. After sign up the users get a blank page (the title in the address bar is the same of signup); if you try to log in you receive the advice that an email was sent to you email address; I can confirm the user by the administration tools, but no email are sent to anyone (I tried with several domains). I've got no problem with the traditional authentication system and no problem with cron-job. Must the email arrive fast? Thanks.
Hi Bas, your plugin seems to be fantastic! Only a question: have I to modify something in the autentication plugin? I'm on 2.6. Thanks
If users are uploaded via batch CSV, can they still receive a welcome email?
Hi I have the same problem as Richard Osborne and Peter Ngigi. I'm not able to send mails to Ouath2 logins.
Also, I'm not able to send confirmation mails to Oauth2 logins even without Moodle Welcome plugin. Am I missing something. I've gone for a work around i.e installed auto enrolment plugin and I'm sending a 'Thank you for registering for XYZ course..', which for now is the only course.
I'm going to have problems the day I upload the second course. Please help.
Hi Ankita,
This plugin allows you to send out welcome emails user profile info like firstname, lastname, fullname and email address. It does not allow you to send them their password unless you default it to something like 'changeme'
Hi
I want to add users manually and email them there credentials. Does this plugin allow me to do so?
I have the same problem. Someone help.
Hi. This is a great plugin, exactly what I needed. The only problem is I can't make it send to oauth logins. I've tried with the plugins: oauth2, lenauth and elcentra. It works perfectly with email based self registration. Can you help me?
Hi Mykl,
I am sorry, it only supports one admin contact. Maybe you could setup an email account that is forwarded to multiple users?
Hey Bas, quick question....we want to send 2 emails, one to the moderator, and oneto the sysadmin. can i add multiple email addresses in the moderator email field? cheers.
@Bas: I use 2.9. After some tests, I found that when I created a user manually with joomdle auth selected, the email was indeed sent.
But good news everyone! Antonio Duran from Joomdle has posted (at Joomdle forum) a tiny patch to his Joomdle auth plugin and the Moodle Welcome email is also being sent to new users added in bulk (automatically) to Moodle by Joomla/Joomdle.
So, I believe there was nothing wrong with neither plugin, it was actually a sort of incompatibility issue.
Anyway, both plugins working together saves our small team a precious time.
Thanks again for your great plugin!
Thanks Bas, by the way...Great Plugin!!! Very useful and easy to implement.
