Email Notification for each course enrollment

I worked around it and there is a programming tweak for sending notification to users for course enrollment.

Create a custom function for send email

require_once("config.php");
require_once($CFG->libdir.'/moodlelib.php');

function custom_send_mail($to_email_id,$sender_email_id,$subject,$title,$body)
{
$mail = get_mailer();   // This will get the moodle mailer configuration.

$mail-> ....

$mail->send();

}

Now all you need to do is find when and where does admin enroll user to the course. I found it here

project_moodle/enrol/manual/ajax.php

Include function in this page

add a line before sending ouput via ajax. (In my case, I added it before echo json_encode($outcome);)

custom_send_mail($user->email,$USER->email,"Project_Moodle Notification","Enrollment Notification","You have been enrolled to course '".$course->fullname."'");

 

Note: I did this in moodle 2.6 with SMTP configured in moodle.

Hi there, I know that this is a old post, but I want to implement this very same functionality

When I manually enrol a user moodle should send him an email to let him know that he has been invited to take a course...

Im using Moodle 2.7 

where should I put the code, I mean in wich file and in wich part of the file...


require_once("config.php");

require_once($CFG->libdir.'/moodlelib.php');

function custom_send_mail($to_email_id,$sender_email_id,$subject,$title,$body)
{
$mail = get_mailer();   // This will get the moodle mailer configuration.

$mail-> ....

$mail->send();

}

I have found the last part and I have no problems with that 

thank you very much!


Mauro.

Hi there Nishant Pandya, I'm sorry but I'm still unable to resolve this issue, we need someone with dev skills.

After hours of investigation and internet search, this code is the best solution I could find but I was unable to make it work.

If you find any other information please let me know.

I will let you know as well...

What I don't understand is why this functionality is not required by the rest of Moodlers or admins or teachers, I mean, how users or students know they have a pending course or that they have been invited to a course.


Thank you very much and I'm sorry I wasn't able to help.

Hi Nishant,

I found the solution.


Add below code in /enrol/manual/ajax.php before echo json_encode($outcome);

require_once($CFG->libdir.'/moodlelib.php');

$body = "You have been enrolled to course"." ".$course->fullname."<br/><br/>"."Please login to start your course."."<br/><br/>"."Thanks,"."<br/>Admin";

email_to_user($user,$USER,'Enrollment Notification','The text of the message',$body);

by Charlie Horwood -

Hi I have added this code to enrol/manual/ajax.php before the closing statement "echo json_encode($outcome);"

but when I manually enroll a user they don't receive an email notification.


Does anybody have any ideas?


This is what I added:

// Custom Manual Enrol Notification Test

require_once($CFG->libdir.'/moodlelib.php');

$body = "You have been enrolled to course"." ".$course->fullname."<br/><br/>"."Please login to start your course."."<br/><br/>"."Thanks,"."<br/>Admin";

email_to_user($user,$USER,'Enrollment Notification','The text of the message',$body);


Thanks in advance for any help

Re: Email Notification for each course enrollment

Hi Karishma,

You need to concatenate moodle site link ,user id ,password & what ever you need to add in body.

For site link you can use $CFG->wwwroot . For userid & passaword you can check $USer,$Page values. Just use print_object() ;exit; with these parameters to check the values. I am bit busy now a days & not getting time to debug this hope this will be helpful for you.

Example :

$body = "You have been enrolled to course"." ".$course->fullname."<br/><br/>"."Please login to start your course."."<br/><br/>"."Thanks,"."<br/>Admin"."<br/>$CFG->wwwroot;

Hi Rabin,

Did you got any solution for sending  email notification when assigning a cohort to a course with following steps.

Course->Participants->Settings -> Enrolled User-> Enroll Users -> Browse Cohorts (option button in pop up) -> Enroll button click

Course->Participants->Settings -> Enrollment Methods -> Add Method -> Cohort Sync -> Add method click.

Hi, Nidhi!

Thank you for this code, but it sends me 2 messages instead of 1.

One of them is "The text of the message" and second with $body content.

My Moodle version is Moodle 3.1.2+ (Build: 20160923)

Re: Email Notification for each course enrollment

The code works perfectly but how do you make the $courselink clickable in the email?  I have tried so many ways but I keep getting syntax errors.  Any ideas??

Here is the code I did to try making the link clickable.  There must be a period or quote missing somewhere.  Please help!

require_once($CFG->libdir.'/moodlelib.php');
global $CFG;

$courselink = $CFG->wwwroot . "/course/view.php?id=" . $course->id;
$url = $CFG->wwwroot . "/course/view.php?id=" . $course->id;
$body = "You have been enrolled to course"." ".$course->fullname."."<br/><br/>"."Please login to start your course."."<br/><br/>echo <a href =". $url ."></a><br/><br/>"."Thanks,"."<br/>Admin";
email_to_user($user,$USER,'Enrollment Notification','The text of the message',$body);
echo json_encode($outcome);

That didn't work.  I still get a syntax error.  Am I missing a quote or comma or  semicolon somewhere?


require_once($CFG->libdir.'/moodlelib.php');
global $CFG;

$courselink = $CFG->wwwroot . "/course/view.php?id=" . $course->id;
$body = "You have been enrolled to course"." ".$course->fullname."."<br/><br/>"."Please login to start your course."."<br/><br/>echo<a href =".$courselink."></a><br/><br/>"."Thanks,"."<br/>Admin";

Re: Email Notification for each course enrollment

Picture of Plugin developers

try:

$body = "You have been enrolled to course. ".$course->fullname." <br/><br/> Please login to start your course. <br/><br/> <a href =\"$courselink\">click here to go to the course...</a><br/><br/>Thanks.<br/>Admin";

1)

In PHP $name will be substituted in double quotes.  Not in single quotes

$name ="Miller";

echo "Tom $name";

:> Tom Miller

echo 'Tom $name';

:> Tom $name

2)

all the HTML, like <br> is just string content like letters a...z

echo "<h1> text</h1>";

:>

text


but when you want to print a " (double quotes)  than you need a so called escape character before. the excape character is the backslash in PHP 

echo "\"";

:> "

echo "\";

Syntax error

echo ' this is a double quote " ' ;

:> this is a double quote "

(please rate me,  if it helps)
