Moodle welcome

I'm using the version for moodle 2.2

Hi all,
This is a great plugin, but i'm having a little problem. When I register a new user he receives two welcome emails. Can anyone help me solving this problem?

emailing not sending

Hi Bas,
Are there any further developments on this excellent plugin? I'd really like to see the ability to include the user's password. Also, when I tried your plugin the default Moodle new user email was sent as well; how do I ensure that only one email goes out to each user?

Of course the template fields need to have the square brackets around them (see comment before mine) ..
Grrrrrr -> Markdown

Thanks for that. I updated the plugin to have more template fields:
Name: fullname,
Username: username,
Firstname: firstname,
Lastname: lastname,
Email: email,
City: city,
Country: country
Cheers,
Bas

I could not find a forum discussion topic listed in the plugin details above or by searching the forums, so I am posting this here as it may help others.
To add some flexibility to the plugin I changed lines 49-55 in local\welcome\event_handlers.php to read:
//$tag = '[[user]]';
//$replacement = $user->firstname . ' ' . $user->lastname;
$message_user = str_replace(
array('[[user]]', '[[username]]', '[[firstname]]', '[[lastname]]', '[[email]]', '[[city]]'),
array($user->firstname . ' ' . $user->lastname, $user->username, $user->firstname, $user->lastname, $user->email, $user->city),
$message_user);
$message_user_subject = str_replace(
array('[[user]]', '[[username]]', '[[firstname]]', '[[lastname]]', '[[email]]', '[[city]]'),
array($user->firstname . ' ' . $user->lastname, $user->username, $user->firstname, $user->lastname, $user->email, $user->city),
$message_user_subject);
$message_moderator = str_replace(
array('[[user]]', '[[username]]', '[[firstname]]', '[[lastname]]', '[[email]]', '[[city]]'),
array($user->firstname . ' ' . $user->lastname, $user->username, $user->firstname, $user->lastname, $user->email, $user->city),
$message_moderator);
$message_moderator_subject = str_replace(
array('[[user]]', '[[username]]', '[[firstname]]', '[[lastname]]', '[[email]]', '[[city]]'),
array($user->firstname . ' ' . $user->lastname, $user->username, $user->firstname, $user->lastname, $user->email, $user->city),
$message_moderator_subject);
//$message_user = str_replace($tag, $replacement, $message_user);
//$message_user_subject = str_replace($tag, $replacement, $message_user_subject);
//$message_moderator = str_replace($tag, $replacement, $message_moderator);
//$message_moderator_subject = str_replace($tag, $replacement, $message_moderator_subject);
and changed lines 34 and 42 from \local\welcome\local_welcome.php to read:
$string['message_user_subject_desc'] = 'This will be the subject of the email send to the user. Use username, [[firstname]], [[lastname]], [[email]], [[city]] as a tag, this will be replace with the Username, Firstname, Lastname, Email address, and City.';
$string['message_moderator_subject_desc'] = 'This will be the subject of the email send to the moderator. Use username, [[firstname]], [[lastname]], [[email]], [[city]] as a tag, this will be replace with the Username, Firstname, Lastname, Email address, and City.';
This will add the user profile fields/tags for [[username]], [[firstname]], [[lastname]], [[email]], and [[city]].

The whole second block of errors dissapears when I renamed the lang/en/local_welcome file to welcome

I get this error when trying to enable the plugin on moodle 2.5 whit archaius theme. Any Idea what´s the problem?

Hi Derek, Roger. The current release works for Moodle 2.6.
@aleksandar: I am expecting some contributed code to this plugin that allows you to use more profile fields.
Cheers,
Bas

I have the same question as Roger. Does this plugin work with Moodle 2.6?

Greetings from Macedonia smile
Yesterday I had a sleepless night and guess what - I spent the night thinking of improving the functionality of your plugin. It was a sleepless but not useless night. I realized that actually having a [password] field is not necessary at all! The problem could be solved by sending same password to all new registered users and forcing them to change the password at their first logging on Moodle. The only thing that will be necessary is to have [username] field in the welcome message. Is that possible? And instead of having User which results in showing Firstname Lastname in the welcome message, can we have only [Firstname] field?
Best regards,
Aleksandar

Fantastic plug-in that saves so much time!
Will you be releasing a Moodle 2.6 version please?

Good Morning
Brilliant addition to our site - however we would like it that if possible we could include other profile fields in the emails?
email address / country etc.
Is this possible?

Hi, I just installed the welcome plugin (v2.4). I'm trying to send an email only to a custom admin email address, and it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this?
