Moodle welcome

Hi,
are there any plans to add Moodle 2.8 support to this plugin? Or is it fully compatible and just the compatibility info has not been upgraded yet?

Folks,
Of course the plugin can't access encrypted passwords in the database, but if what you're trying to achieve is for new users (well, users imported by CSV) to get an HTML-formatted, admin-customisable email with their password, then there's another solution.
It's possible to set a new password for each user during e-mail sending; if they have never seen the one that Moodle itself generated, then generating and saving a new one is of no (minimal?) consequence.
The following patch (against version 2014101300 of this plugin) generates and sets a password per-user, and makes it available as `newpasswordtext` following the example of Moodle core: http://pastebin.com/yAPTYDTS
Changes made available under GNU GPL v3 or later.
Cheers,
C

ok can help me for any solution when i created user send email about username and password

No it can't. Moodle are stored encrypted in the Moodle database before the welcome message can retreive it

Yes!

I have a wishlist item to add: filter who the message goes to. Maybe I'm asking too much.
My selfish reason-- I want to send it only to teachers. So, those with an email pattern unique to teacher accounts at our institution.

does anybody tried to use it in moodle 2.7.1?

Thanks Bas for your reply!
Yes I know that Moodle could send out randomized passwords when uploading users. Do you know of any "work around" that would be able to combine that initial password email WITH a customized "Welcome" message (e.g. using this plugin)? I think maybe two emails for each new student is a little bit too much for students. Thanks again!

Hi Wen Hao Chuang, thanks! Moodle already supports sending out randomized passwords when uploading users, simply leave the password field empty when doing a CSV upload. This plugin cannot access the users passwords since it is triggered after the password has been encrypted and stored in the database.

Bas, thanks for such a wonderful plugin! I wonder if you could add to the wish list for including a initial "randomized" password in the Welcome email? I know we can use "changeme" to force students to change their initial password, but with a generic initial password, it is not really secure. It would be great if each student gets an different randomly generated initial password and that password is included in the Welcome message. Thanks again!

Hi Aster, This is not a feature of the plugin at the moment. I will add it to the wish list.

Hi, is there any way that we can include custom profile fields in the e-mail output? To define template fields based on custom user profile fields?
Thanks
