Hi, Im using Moodle 1.9.4, and when a student try to change his email it hangs "Pending" awaiting to him to click the link sent to the new email. The email and message is received but no link is sent....
When I "forget" the password the system sends the link to the email with no problem.
Any help...
Server: Linux/Apache
Tested on: FF3.5, IE8 and Google Chrome 2.0

go to site admin block/security/site policies
ensure 'emailchangeconfirmation' is enabled. check box = yes
ensure 'emailchangeconfirmation' is enabled. check box = yes
Hi Chad, thanks for your answer.
It is enabled... and also in Admin > Users > Authentication > Authentication Manager.
But you helped me, for I didn't know this path and I disabled it and now the students are changing their emails well.
If possible I'd like to use this feature, another suggestion?

Hi Higor! I don't understand what you now need to know. Can you please clarify what you want to achieve?
When the student try to change his email the system await to him to click the link sent to the new email, the email is received but no link is. Your answer helped me for I disabled this feature and now the students are able to change their emails.
But Id like to use the email link feature, if it exists is for it is good, isnt it?
Thanks,
Higor

yes - its a good feature. it will prevent an unauthorised person from changing the email address of a user account. when you say no link received in the email confirmation, is there a url string that can be copied & pasted in a web browser? im presuming the 'emailchangeconfirmation' parameter is set to 'yes' in global admin/site policies. the email confirmation should contain an active verification link.
Yes Chad, the emailchangeconfirmation were set Yes.
Here is the email I receive, and how I told, no link /url sent with the message.

Hi, Higor,
I'm having the exactly problem, there's no url set in the message.
How can we solve this?
Thanks,
Sara I didnt solve this, the alternative found was deactivating the "Email Confirmation" on the Admin menu.
Peace.
Peace.

Hi again,
This problem is related to Language Settings. In English language there is no URL link problem. But the other langs such as Turkish etc. There ise no confirmation URL in the email message.
I am still trying to fix it. If I did, I will tell you via forum.
See all...

Find the Turkish language pack. On a linux box it can be in:
Open the file auth.php and add the following to the end of line 103 that starts with $string['auth_emailupdatemessage']:
$string['auth_emailupdatemessage'] = '$a->site\'deki kullanıcı hesabınız için e-posta adresinizde değişiklik isteğinde bulundunuz. Lütfen bu değişikliği teyit etmek için tarayıcınızda aşağıdaki URL\'yi açın. a->url
hope that helps!
- [path to moodle]/lang/tr_utf8/ or
- /var/moodledata/lang/tr_utf8/
Open the file auth.php and add the following to the end of line 103 that starts with $string['auth_emailupdatemessage']:
a->urlso in my case the whole line looks like:
$string['auth_emailupdatemessage'] = '$a->site\'deki kullanıcı hesabınız için e-posta adresinizde değişiklik isteğinde bulundunuz. Lütfen bu değişikliği teyit etmek için tarayıcınızda aşağıdaki URL\'yi açın. a->url
hope that helps!
Dear Jac,
It works. Thank you very much. I fixed it after your message. I modified some lines in edit.php. But your solution is better than this.

Hi Jac,
Thanks for sharing your solution to this problem. I'm going to move this discussion to the Languages forum in case other languages are affected too...

Changed in CVS.
Updating your language pack from tomorrow onwards should fix it. New Moodle installations won't be affected anymore.

I see this is one year old post, but problem is the same.
Users don't get url in their mail.
It's mooodle 2.0 build 2010112400 and languange sr_lt
I've tried with adding {$a->url} at the end of $string['auth_emailupdatemessage'] but it's not working:
$string['auth_emailupdatemessage'] = 'Dragi/a {$a->fullname},
Tražili ste promenu svoje e-adrese za Vaš korisnički nalog na {$a->site}. Molim Vas da otvorite sledeći URL u svom Web čitaču kako biste potvrdili ovu promenu. {$a->url}';
I've checked if $a->url is corectly creating at it is, but somehow when ading it to auth_email.php it doesn't show up.
Workaround was to change (moodle dir)/user/edit.php at line 226 where the message body is created, from:
$emailupdatemessage = get_string('auth_emailupdatemessage', 'auth_email', $a);
chenaged to :
$emailupdatemessage = get_string('auth_emailupdatemessage', 'auth_email', $a) . $a->url;
I know this isn't a solution, but needed a quick fix since we got about 1200 students changing their email addresses

Hi Dusan,
good spot. There is a missing {$a->url} placeholder at the end of that string. I just created a patch for the language pack maintainer so hopefully that would be fixed soon.
Meanwhile, you can fix it at your site in a correct way:
1. revert the change of /user/edit.php
2. modify the file containing the string as you already did - appending the missing placeholder
3. now you have to go to "Site administration > Development > Purge caches" so that the changed language file is fetched again.
Since Moodle 2.0, the get_string() does not use the files in lang/xx/* folders directly but it process them and caches for better performance. Therefore you have to purge caches after any manual modification of the string files.
Updating language pack or whole Moodle purges caches automatically.
