finally we have updated the intrenalmail module to the moodle 1.5 API.
So here it is. Installation manuals and other internalmail stuff is at he home page:
http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~malier/internalmail
We still need help with the module translation.
Cheers.
Ludo (Marc)
this is a really good mod i always wanted to have But unfortunately i got two problems:
1. If i send a message to another user, the recipient get's the mail twice - once the original and secondly the same message but with the Subject 'RIO'. Do you know what that means? And if I try to delete the second one i get that the POST ID is incorrect.
2. If i try to add a new contact, i get the following error:
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in C:\Programme\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs\moodle-latest\mod\simplemail\lib.php on line 3340
This is not a valid address
Would be glad if you could help me.
Regards
Marcus
after the last buggy version here is a more stable version on internalmail
that works rigth with 1.5. YOu can download it from http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~malier/internalmail
Ciao
Ludo
I'll do some testing and see if I can find any more bugs.
Thanks Again!
We are on it.
Marc
i just checked your new version of internal mail. The error posted above still exists. That means, i can't add any contacts
Does this error only occur on my system or didn't you have time to fix this?
By the way, this mod is really great
Marcus
cheers
Ludo
Have you talked to Martin about the possibility of incorporating 2.0 into Moodle?
Thanks,
Bryce
Martin doen not want internalmail to compete with messaging... but 2.0 (in theory) will integrate whth messaging so... maybe he will agree to incoporate it. do I hae your vote?
Cheers
Ludo
We are testing your module on 1.4 and it's exactly what we need. It's a great piece of work, thanks a lot!
IMHO, Messaging is a great tool, but lacks of some specific features, for instance:
- attachments;
- folders or some sort of classification;
- some way to limit which users can be added to ones contact list, since in some cases we want the interpersonal communication to be limited to one course's members and not the whole installation;
- ways to manage contact list in an automatic way (i.e. adding all your course mates to it).
We are adding the feature of choosing the destination users from a menu. In fact, we are trying to merge your module with "mail" (the one hosted at Sourceforge). It's VERY hard for us, since one year ago my development team was dismantled (budget reasons) and now it's only two of us working just for the urgent needs... firemen situation. Anyway, tell me if you can use our (tiny) help on this.
Count on my vote!
Pablo
We are looking for one for Moodle 1.5.2+
Any news in this front?
we have released a completelly new version ( in July) designed to work with 1.5 and integrated with the messaging module.

Re: Internalmail New version Bugs solved: Attn : Ludo
I have been trying to get the Internal mail to work. I got it finally to work but it produces a lot of errors in the error log.
I am using Moodle version 1.5.2 and would be very gratetful if you can let me know of the most stable version of the InternalMail and how/where to get it.
One of the links at http://appserv.lsi.upc.es/palangana/moodle/course/view.php?id=18 does not work. That will be
http://appserv.lsi.upc.es/palangana/moodle/mod/resource/view.php?id=221
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards,
Mawuli.
Can you give me the file name.
I clicked on http://appserv.lsi.upc.es/palangana/moodle/mod/resource/view.php?id=221 and it gave me
Not Found
The requested URL /~malier/download/Internalmail2.0.3.zip was not found on this server.Any help is welcome.
Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
Hope you doing fine. Will it be possible to give me a time line/schedule on when you think the final version (stable version) of the Internal Mail 2.2 will be release for 1.5?
We are planning on using it in our school in January and want to know what time lines you are working with.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
rigth now we are more commited to dfwiki than internalmail. The main reason is because we consider imail to be pretty stable. One developer is assigned to imail 2 but we are stil looking for issues and bugs to fix.
do you have any bug to report?
Regards
Marc
Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
1. When you create an instance, it will not allow you to update it, It will give you the error that 'Failed to create block instance'
2. When you create an instance as Admin and there is no Teacher in the course, it does not allow you to add anybody. If you add a Teacher to the course after creatign the instance, it still does not allow you to add anyone to the instance. You have to delete the instance and then add at least 1 Teacher before creating the instance.
3. When you turn on debug=Yes in the Moodle settings, you get lots of undefined variables in the error log. The errors from one page are usually a lot. Some few lines are
[client au33] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: edit in /var/www/html/moodle15/mod/internalmail/view.php on line 97, referer: http://localhost/moodle15/course/mod.php

This is just some small amount from the error log. I just want to have some idea as to what you are doing?Now you said you are working on dfwiki, does it mean the Internal Mail is on hold? If one person is working on it, that is nice to hear. When do we expect to have a stable release? That is my questions. I want this information to be able to determine if our school needs to find something else use or wait for you.
About the first point, l think l can fix myself. About the number 2 and 3, that will need your help.
Let me know when you think that can be fixed, please.
Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
we just decided to deidcate new efforts to imail.
Since our university is using it with moodle 1.4 (with + 3.000 users and almos 30.000 in februry ) we have decided to donwgrade a version of imail 2.0 to moodle 1.4 , and to keep on going with imail 2.0 for moodle 1.5.x wich we'll implement eventually.
Patches will come soon.

Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
Thanks!
This version works fine on my 1.5.3. I've now testing it and will be release this function to my users.
Mike Ngan
- The "course/user" record management (i.e. the CUR26 record) has been hidden to user, user do not need to manually add/remove the "mail user" record. Those record will be automatically added when user login to index page. For example, when admin creates a user account, that user will be able to use the "site mail" automatically.
- Added a function to send mail to all student/teacher within a course, teacher don't need to click 20 times if they want to send email to whole class.
- Mail record and it's data will remains in db even when they has been unenrolled. They can retrieve their email if they enroll that course again.
- The Edit button has been hidden for simple administration. (We just want to make it looks like the WebCT mail function)
I'm not sure when the course is removed, those "mail data" will be removed by the origional code or not. Maybe we need to write some housekeeping scripts.
Mike Ngan
Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
can you send us (internalmail dev team / dfwiki team) the modifications that you made ?
Now we have some funds to improve imail and we are back on the project... soon new versions will be released.
Regards
Ludo
Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
Thanks for your contribution! Your internalmail is a very useful function in moodle.
I've just changed a few lines of codes, cos' I want to keep the changes to the original to minimum.
The next thing we want to do is to make it as "default" to all courses. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
Loaded it up fine and now I get this when I click to finish setting up the instance:
internalmail has to be enabled in the whole site. Please contact your administrator.
I can't see anyplace else I am supposed to activate.

Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
Hello Ludo,
I have installed internalmail under Moodle 1.5.3+ (2005060230), while it seems to work fine (tried with some few messages sent back and forth), I see a warning and a problem.
While composing a new message, the HTML editor appears "collapsed". I have seen this issue on other situations but can't remember the reason why this happens. I'm attaching a pic of this situation.
And the warning I'm getting is when I access the admin page of Moodle (i.e. moodle/admin) and I get the following message:
Warning: file(C:\moodle\moodle/blocks/internalmail/block_internalmail.php) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\moodle\moodle\lib\blocklib.php on line 21

Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
this bug appears all over moodle modules with some versions of htmleditor.
By the way soon in a month or two we'll release a improved version of internalmail.

Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
Ludo,
I am trying to add a signature/identities feature to internalmail since we often want to send emails with forms which they can fill out and send. I was trying to imitate the feature that squirrelmail has for identities. Is there something similar that has already been developed for Internalmail module, if so I don't have to go through the curve
Thanks,
Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
"L'usuari no té cap bustia creada en aquest curs"
I don't know what that means, but I've been able to find versions of internalmail here and there in the discussion forums and wanted to know where the best place is to get the latest version. Preferrably a version that includes the enhancements that Mike Ngan added.
Thanks!
John
Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
Also, if you can wait for some weeks, I think we can free some new version soon. We are working on it.
Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?

Where can I downlaod the latest version of Internalmail (the one that you are currently working on)?

Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
Does the new version incorporate groups in to Block Contacts on the Compose page. Something similar to Quickmail for sending messages to groups. I am working on the functionality to include groups under block contacts. Please let me know if this is already done and a link to the file.
I have also modified the lib.php file to include predefined templates in to the body of the message but I am having problems with the htmleditor. I have included javascript to append text from a text file. This works fine when the textarea is plain text but not when using htmleditor (I can toggle to text only mode append the template and switch back to html). The problem I am facing is with html editor being erratic in display.

P.S: How do I send 'To' groups within a course. when I click on the 'TO' field it doesn't show groups.
Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?

when the To field is clicked on Compose page the popup dialog box does not show scrollbars and user names are hidden at the bottom.

Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
Go to mod/internalmail/lib.php and add scrollbars=yes to line 1682
'\'left=400,top=20,width=350,height=500,toolbar=1,scrollbars=yes,location=0\')">';

Re: Internalmail New version - when is stable/final release?
The internalmail_groups table is not being populated. I don't see any blocks in the internalmail module that insert records in to the groups table. Am I overlooking something?
thanks,
As my institution is moving from WebCT to Moodle we have been working with InternalMail. We had some problems trying to make it run under Moodle 1.6 Beta 3.
Today I took the code shared in this thread, made some changes and it seems to run OK. Code changes were made for getting variables from forms (change from optional_variable to optional_param), and the following line was "removed" (actually put under comments)
$course_module = get_record("course_modules","course",$internalmail->course,"instance",$this->instance->pageid);
It seems that moduleid should also be included as a parameter, as it generates duplicates. Anyway, I put it in comments and the module seems to work OK. Probably this line is piece of old code.
Please, unzip the files attached and use the original instructions for installation.

Hi Tony,
Sad, sad. I'm not receiving that error, but I was able to correct the problem.
Anyway, today I had the chance to 'talk' by e-mail with Ludo, and he told me the new InternalMail is almost ready for stores supporting 1.6 ;) so i guess it is a good idea to wait for his new release.
Thanks for trying Tony.
Ed
I'm sorry for the delay but Internalmail is ready to download at Internalmail home
Waiting for comments and ready for bug solving!

Hi Ludo!
Nice to hear the new version is out in the streets. However, we have been unable to install it (under Linux and Windows) as we get a message saying:
"No abre" (Spanish for "can't be open"). by looking at the source code i found this line, where an explicit path is declared
if (!$xinter = fopen("/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/moodlemgr/moodledata/admin/ice/inter.txt", 'a+', 1)) {
error("No abre", "index.php");
exit;
}
Eduardo
I am also getting the error
PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare page_create_object() (previously declared in /var/www/html/moodle/mod/internalmail/blocks/pagelib.php:21) in /var/www/html/moodle/lib/pagelib.php on line 58,
I got the latest download yesterday.
Any fixes for this?
I have done some testing on the internalmail and looks like it is not ready for production use yet.
1. When you add an attachment, the files are places at /$post->course/$CFG->moddata/internalmail/$post->attachment
This will create problems becuase if you have 2 students sending files at the same time with the same name, then one will get overwritten. The previous version placed the files on their own directory at /$post->course/$CFG->moddata/internalmail/$post->internalmail/$post->id/$post->attachment
I think this is a better solution.
2. Can you add this to the lang/en/internalmail.php
$string['courses_notify'] = 'Unread Internalmails';
$string['searchcontact'] = 'Search contact';
$string['alphabetical'] = 'Alphabetical Listing of Contacts';
$string['specialcontacts'] = 'Special contacts';
$string['allsite'] = 'All site users';
$string['allcourse'] = 'All courses';
$string['allstudents'] = 'All students';
$string['allteachers'] = 'All teachers';
$string['justcourse'] = 'Contacts of only this course';
$string['of'] = 'of';
$string['resultsfrom'] = 'Results for ';
$string['noresults'] = 'No results found.';
$string['contacts'] = 'Contacts';
$string['send by'] = 'Sent by';
$string['nonewmails'] = 'You have no new messages.';
3. I did some changes to the mod/internalmail/lib.php
When you want to compose a message, the textarea is alway richtext editor. Some people have problem with that. So l have changed that to first check if richtext editor is allowed and the correct editor display. Please take a look at the attached lib.php.
Let me know if you have any questions.
thanj you for your insigths on internalmail. I'll pass them to david and ferran and we'll take a look on to it.
Regards
Ludo
I'm working with Ludo and Ferran to improve the Internalmail new version.
First of all, we didn't known the problem of concurrency that internalmail has. We have to solve it, but we can't do as you did it. The reason is very simple. If we make a directory of each message that have an attachement the server will turn up crazy.
After that, I think that teh internalmail languages are updated but I will check.
And finally, I will include your changes to solve the problems of richtext editor.
Thanks for all.
David.
I have not done anything. I was just pointing the fact that when you submit a file, it is place at the location which is not a good one. The has to be a way to put attachments relating to a message different from the rest. The Internalmail version that was release last year did great with handling file attachments. This year's version does not seems to be doing a good job.
Let me know if l can be of some help.
Regards
Ludo
Thanks for the comments. Your point about the file management is good only if the file is being sent to a lot of people. If l am sending a file to one person, then that does not hold very well. In most cases, students are sending things around to each to each other. So storing the file as it was done in the previous version would be best or better than this one.
This is what l think:
When you send a file, lets put the file at its own location. Even if the file is being sent to more than ono person, store only l copy of the file at its own location. This way you only have one copy of the file. You will need a field in one of the tables to track people of what they do with the file. If someone deletes his/her file, so mark the table field as file deleted. When all the others have the file deleted, then the file is finally deleted from the server.
So lets put the file by itself but for every mail, but lets store only l copy of file attached and find a way for all the others to each the file as if they had their own seperate file.
The database solution is our first idea, but when we try to implements, we encountered several troubles with the current internalmail implementation.
I have been following this thread closely, and I am curious about the status of internalmail for 1.6 as well. It was a big hit in 1.5 with all of our online programs last semester. The messaging tool really does not have the functionality that we need for our courses, and the use of external email becomes quite messy because of university spam filters, professor email loads, etc. Our professors and students have said they like that internalmail allows all course communication to be contained within the course shell.
We look forward to any good news on internalmail. Thanks for working on this great idea!!
~UB
We are thinking about the 1.5 version to improve it. After, we will upgrade the internalmail to moodle 1.6.
Thanks for your post.
David.
We were doing some testing of the Moodle system with Virus scanning. We found that all the modules works perfectly with virus scanning but the Internal did not work. It failed.
I did some research and found that the Internalmail does not use the upload file manager the comes with Moodle. All the modules use it and that is why they worked. The Internalmail library is lip_post.php and the function l am talking about is internalmail_add_attachment. This has to use upload manager.
I am going to change the function for our system to use the upload manager. We are currently using InternalMail 2.2. I will post the solution when done.
Do you plan on changing it for the current version to use the upload manager?
What is the status of the changes l requested some time back?
1. location of the file attachments
2. Using using can_use_richtext_editor() for displaying use_html_editor(..) function when composing a message or replying to a post .
This are the items l can remember.
Lets keep the Internalmail development and forums active. Hope to hear from you soon.
Function Info:
internalmail_add_attachment => will work for Internalmail version 2.2
internalmail_add_attachment_v2 => will work for Internalmail version 2.0 (You will need to rename it to internalmail_add_attachment)
Let me know if you have any questions and when you can have this changes implemented.
I am trying to get InternalMail working in Moodle 1.6. I saw your post after searching for a solution. It looks like it is from last April.
Are your changes to the InternalMail activity still working under Moodle 1.6 ( I noticed you were describing a beta version)?
Also, if I reinstall InternalMail from you zip package, should I drop all tables related to my existing install of InternalMail, or can I just move all the files into the appropriate directories?
Thanks for any help!
I wanted to use Internalmail 2.2 w/ Moodle 1.5.3+ (2005060230). I added the main instance and later another one in a course, but when I enter as a student to that course, I get the message "El usuario no tiene ningún buzón en este curso". Moreover, I get that message when entering as admin!
What could be happening?
TIA,
Pablo
Re: Internalmail module now suports moodle 1.5

Re: Internalmail module now suports moodle 1.5
I've just installed the module, and when I'm going to give of discharge a new internalmail, there goes out for me this mistake, that I attach in the file.
The enterteining thing, it's that I've installed in other sites moodle (idem code) and does NOT give me this mistake. Can someone help me?
Thanks!!
Toni
wich internalmail have you installed? The current version is 2.0 downloadable here
http://appserv.lsi.upc.es/palangana/moodle/course/view.php?id=18
Tell me if this is your version please.
Marc
I'm using Internalmail 2.2.
I've just arranged the failure. I comment to you on the steps that I've followed:
1.- I've renamed all the functions of mod/blocks/blocklib.php and mod/blocks/format/format.php adding internalmail_.
(view the attach file).
2.- I've modify the mod/blocks/pagelib.php, I've removing the functions redeclared, and I've modify the pagelib.php and moodlelib.php global for this acept the internalmail page.
(view the attach file).
In attach file have the files who I've modificated.
One a question, are inbox created when new users join to the course?
Toni,
Any ideas?
Tony
Just installed Internalmail, and I get to this screen
Then click save changes.
Only it doesn't save, it takes me to ..../course/mod.php and says the file can't be found.
Any suggestions?
I don't know what is happening on your moodle.
What version of Moodle is?
Internalmail only works on Moodle 1.5 and the file that you don't find (../course/mod.php) is an internal file of moodle libraries.
So, please check your moodle version and the files in your moodle zip.
I will be waiting for your reply.
David.
Currently running Moodle 1.6, on IIS 6... I know, I know, I hate it too, but thats what the boss wants to run it on, sooooo ! lol
I'm going to give it a try with the 2.2 files added in before the admin panel is accessed. Trying to just drop the 2.2 files ontop of the 2.0 files already installed really made a mess.
try it but i'm not sure that it will go on, just because the Moodle 1.6 is using the function optiona_param & require_param. Internalmail doesn't used this to get the variables from the form or URL, so may be you have to change this things.
May the force be with you.
David
In advance i would like to tell you that internalmail v.2.0 is the old version of internalmail. Nowadays we have v.2.2 with many bugs solved. But WE DON'T CHECKED this internalmail on moodle 1.6, so you can the first to try if internalmail 2.2 works in Moodle 1.6
Bye!
David.
The files that you modified are internal functions of a block template to introduce blocks on activity of moodle. This block template (called Block Module) was created to dfwiki module as was adquire by internalmail in a following version. So if you modified you will do carefully.
In response to your question, in a lastest version of internalmail the inbox is created when users join to the course.
Bye.
David.
I've modified the contact block. Here this the result.
I hope it serve you.
I've modified the table view, add an paging and others things.
Bye!
Hi Antoni!
Was the Contacts "fix" in regards to the issues related to using Internalmail with Moodle 1.6?
Or was this fix related to just Moodle 1.5?
I never heard from anyone on the boards related to getting Internalmail working on Moodle 1.6.
Thank you!
This fix related to Moodle 1.5.
bye!
I've a new version available for Moodle 1.5. Only fix problems of the vesión 2.2.
See readme for more information.
the friends of University of Balearic Islans have patched some bugs of the IM 2.2 last released last spring. The internalmail version 2.3 is available for download on the Internalmail home page.
Thanks Toni and folks in UIB!!!
Ludo and the internalmail team.
pd. David and Ferran have started working on a totally new IM that would be comming up on 2007 for whatever moodle version is stable by then. But all of this is just buzz by now.

Re: Internalmail module now suports moodle 1.5 - Attention Ferran Recio and David Castro.
righth now we are focussed on getting it to work in 1.6 ... there's a bug that does not let it work propertly. When this is done we only need to adapt it to Roles and XML database.
Contact with carles ferreiro who's working on it for more details.

Hi Ludo...
I'd have to second the recent comments, glad to see there is still work being done on InternalMail!
We took a look at it in Moodle 1.5, upgraded to 1.6 and discovered it did not work with 1.6
Thanks for your hardwork!
I made the 1.6 version. I made lots of changes to the code and to the database. I managed to make update script also. I had to remove some of the features. There are still security problems that I haven't solved. Also I would like to replace the original spanish variable names and comments by english alternatives.

I asume you used the cvs for this update? We have a newer version with lots of bugs fixed and fully functional. Next week we plan to release a stable 1.6 version. then we will start to clean up the code. Can I count on you to guide my students on fixing security issues? Thanks

New IM release 2.4 fixing lots of issues bu still for 1.5
I have released in internalmail home the 2.4 version of intrenalmail.
This version contains serious bugfixes, security fixes, and specially performance optimization to make it viable for our univesity server. Ferran Recio and David Castro, now working for UPCnet.es, struggled a lot to get it as it is rigth now.
This version only works for Moodle 1.5 but in the next days we will release the 2.5 version for Moodle 1.6 and will start working on a 1.7 up and running release.
Other plans in our roadmap is to implement the " you have and internalmail " email reminder that we had on versions 1.x and was lost in the wind.
Cheers
Ludo
Re: New IM release 2.4 fixing lots of issues bu still for 1.5
That's fantastic news! In our school (K-8) we do not have email for students, however we do use Moodle. This will be a great tool incorporated into Moodle to provide a more email like messaging system.
BTW, back in July, I had attempted to install an earlier version of Internalmail on our 1.6 Moodle server. Obvioulsy, it did not work but I still have the following tables in my Moodle database:
mdl_internalmail
mdl_internalmail_aliases
mdl_internalmail_block
mdl_internalmail_block_instance
mdl_internalmail_contacts
mdl_internalmail_copiesenabled
mdl_internalmail_discussions
mdl_internalmail_groups
mdl_internalmail_history
mdl_internalmail_posts
mdl_internalmail_aliases
mdl_internalmail_subscriptions
Is it okay to delete (drop) these tables from my Moodle database? Can I leave them in there for the new version that will work for 1.6? ...in anticipation for the new version
Thank you!

Re: New IM release 2.4 fixing lots of issues bu still for 1.5
That is great. I just have some few comments.
1. The lib_post.php need need to use require_once($CFG->dirroot.'/lib/uploadlib.php'); This way you can make use of upload_manager which can also do VIRUS checking. There way it is now, the is no virus checking.
2. In the SQL files like mysql.sql and postgres.sql, can we change insert statement lines to be something like
INSERT INTO prefix_internalmail_block (name,version,cron,lastcron,visible,multiple) VALUES ....
The way it is now does not seem to install when trying to install in a postgres database since the id value is not created automatically. It is setup to be 1, 2, etc.
Re: New IM release 2.4 fixing lots of issues bu still for 1.5
I'll tell Carles about it.

this issue with HTML editor has ocurred in other modules and its a classic in the forums. Please if you can find the solution I'll apply it to the IM at once. rigth now we are so busy with the wiki stuff.
Cheers

ps. anyway I strongly suggest to use firefox 2 or opera to browse, wich is no excuse for this bug to happen.
