Can I use this module with latest versions of moodle? Does it work in Explores and Firefox?

Hi,

In this moment latest versions isn't tested, but I'm working in this issue.

For other question, yes, it's tested in Explorer, Firefox(Windows and Linux), Konqueror, Ephifany, Opera, Mozilla (Windows and linux), and work without no problem.

Hi,

Nice module! Any idea when it might be available for 1.8?

Thanks!

Hi Ann,

If many problems don't arise, I hope that one or two weeks to have supported this version.

Toni

Thanks, Toni!

Please let me know if I can help in any way. I'd be happy to work with you on this, or do some testing/debugging.

Any news on a 1.7 / 1.8 version? I would like to use this module on our 1.7 server and test it on our test 1.8...

Thanks,

Daniel

One of the great Moodle plug-ins on earth.

Looks great,.... but... my Spanish isn't good enough to understand the documentation. Is there perheps an English version available.

Thanks

If you need the documentation in English you can get it using the Babelfish translation service:

http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=es_en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmnm.uib.es%2FeMail%2Fdoc%2F

It's a little clunky but better than trying to decipher Spanish if you don't speak it

MS SQL - script.  I am running moodle 1.9 with IIS and MS SQL as the DB server.  Since the scripts are for mysql and postreq sql, do you or anyone have the DB scripts to create the tables needed to use this module?  I really love it, but am unable to get it to run.

Thanks,

Pete

Is there a .zip download as well or is there only a tar.gz download

Hello:

I have the block "Saludo e Información de usuario" installed too, and I want to add the code to say if the user has e-mail (the constent of the block e-mail).

I speak spanish, you can response in that language.

How can I do that?
What's the code?

Thanks

Great plug in. Noob question: Is there a way to alter the language used in the english translation? Some of the words used aren't those commonly used. Thanks.

Hi Toni!

This email is a great addition to my site, but i am having a few problems:

1) I don't want my users to be able to have attachments in the emails. How can I remove this completely?

2) It is important on my site that users can only see each others FIRST NAMES. How can i make sure that only their first names will come up in the contacts list?

3) Everytime an email is sent, the error message: Fail mark answered mail

comes up. The mail is still sent, but a lot of my students are then resending (and resending) their messages, thinking they have failed to send properly.

Please help!!

Peter,

The creation of the tables should go well in any database, although there may be a problem with some SQL statement.

f you find errors of compatibility in any SQL statement, tell me, and I solve it.

Thanks,
Toni

Jim,

Yes, If you have permission, you can use the local tool translation. Else, you can modify email.php or block_email_list.php (are in eMail/lang/en_utf8/)

Hi John,

First and third problems are solved in latest version or eMail v.1.3.3.

Second problem, can be solved by creating a new preference, but I have to be stydied and developed. (speak in the discussion)

Rgs,
Toni

Hi Toni!

This email is a great, but i am having one problem:

Hi David,

The latest version solves this problem. See doc for update your eMail plugin.

Rgs,
Toni

Toni, first off, great job on this very useful feature. I just introduced Moodle to a school and it is incredible its richness and capability. I wanted a way where students could communicate via E-Mail to their teachers or classmates. Your tool worked almost perfect. I have teachers assigned to certain categories--i.e. the Math teacher has the ability to create Math courses in the Math category, but does not have access to do this in the History category. I went to every teacher account and gave them permission to eMail and sendmessage. When a student goes to send an E-Mail, the teacher does not appear in the Contact list. To get the teacher to appear in the Contact list, I have to go to System Role and assign each teacher to the Teacher role. When I do this, the teachers show up as teachers for all courses. Shouldn't it be enough if I gave the individual account access to eMail? Thanks. Clark. Again, great tool.

After some testing, a student, once they select a course, can see the instructor; but from the FrontPage, if the student opts to send an E-Mail, they cannot see the instructor in the Contact list. I guess this is no biggie as I can sorta understand that, but guess it should not restrict the list. Sorry if this is a known behaviour, but haven't seen any reference to this. Thanks

I's not working on Moodle 1.9. Every time that i send some mail, the messenge is not showed.
Does someone know why?

Dear eMailers!
I made a german translation; if anyone is interested - or anyway I think I should make it public.
I also had problems sending mail in moodle 1.9. Not shure why - stopped examination because we will use a different mailblock.
Anyway thanks!

Dear user of email,

this block seem very useful and complete, but I have a problem to send messages. After fill out all the field to sent a email to a user of my moodle site, an unespected window show up with two blank field and a button saying "Authenticate", ¿Somebody do knows why this is happened?

Hi Toni,
I am look ing forward to using this great app. I would like to uninstall it, them reinstall it as it keeps saying that 'email-list' is not readable- check permissions.

Thanks.

Hi Toni,

It seems I've found what I was looking for but... Can I use it to connect to an external mail server or the mail server has to be the same server where the moodle platform is installed?

Hola Toni,

En primer lugar, enhorabuena por el bloque!

He probado a instanciarlo en un curso moodle, que tengo configurado en modo grupos separados, y forzar grupos a SI.

Al acceder a la pantalla de redactar mensaje, veo que emailList, indica al usuario a que grupo pertenece, pero permite enviar mensajes a usuarios de otros grupos, que deberian ser invisibles para los usuarios de otros grupos.

¿Trabaja emailList con el modo grupos? ¿No deberian ocultarse en la pantalla de contactos, los usuarios de otros grupos?

Gracias por tu atencion y saludos,
Aitor.-

Hola Toni. ¿Hay alguna solución para los administradores que disponen de todos los cursos del sitio?. El tercer bloque "Todas las Bandejas" es realmente incómodo cuando el sitio dispone de un número importante de cursos. ¿Podría aparecer un desplegable, o restringir a un número determinado de ellos, etc.?. Gracias y un saludo.

(Instalado en mdl 1.9.3 funcionando perfectamente. Un enorme trabajo. ¡Enhorabuena!)

This is an excellent module. It fulfills an important ICT requirement in our school.

What I would like is a "favourite contacts" list on the sendmail interface which allows students to add or remove certain contacts from the full list.

Is this feasible?

Hi Toni,
Are you still working on this module?

Hola:

Quería comentar que tuve un problema al tener instalado el módulo email y el modulo quizport, en la versión de moodle 1.8.8. ya que a la hora de editar un curso que usa los dos módulos, tiene problemas al mostrar la información.

Les agradezco cualquier ayuda.

Agrego el error que se presenta cuando están ambos módulos instalados:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare groups_get_all_groups() (previously declared in ...\moodle\blocks\email_list\email\lib.php:3044) in ...\moodle\mod\quizport\legacy\mdl_18.php on line 297

thank you for this beautiful plug-in !

here is a link to an Hebrew translated version of it. (v 1.4.1 for moodle 1.9.x )
(some rtl/ltr patches and some other minor updates too)

Luis,

El problema que tienes viene de que el módulo quizport no se asegura de que dicha función ya esté definida. eMail evita la redefinición mediante la simple comprobación "if ( !function_exists('groups_get_all_groups')) {".

Añadeselo al módulo y así no te dará problemas. Por parte mia, no puedo hacer nada mas ...

Saludos

King regrards Nadav!

Lastest realise include your translation! ;-D

Hola Toni,

Lo primero muchas gracias por el bloque.

Cuando ejecuto el cron me da el siguiente error con Moodle 1.8 y no envía a los correos externos (habiendo habilitado la opción  "email_trackbymail")

Processing module function journal_cron ...done. Processing module function workshop_cron ...done. Finished activity modules Starting blocks Processing cron function for email_list....failgetmail

Hola Toni,

Ya está solucionado. Era un problema del servidor

Un saludo

Hola:
Instalé la ultima versión sobre un 1.9.6+ bajo windows 2003. Tengo el problema que no me envía los emails a la casilla particular puesta en el perfil. Ya tildé la opción de notificación y nada. Por otra parte otros emails automaticos de la plataforma funcionan bien.

será que tengo que instalar la versión para 1.9?
En ese caso, que me conviene, pisar el contenido de la carpeta blocks/email/email_list
con el nuevo contenido y listo, o desinstalar la versión que tengo y volverla a instalar, tengo miedo que se me produzca algún lío con la base de datos. Es lo mismo?


Muchas gracias, el modulo está excelente.

Javier

Hi;

I am using Moodle 1.9.6; I have installed email_list block last summer 2009.

I just found out that restoring an archived course back into Moodle does not restore email messages?

How can I backup email_list messages within a course backup?

Thank you,

Hana.
