General developer forum

Hi Conrad,

I am using it in production--no problems.  I did make some changes to Jon's original code, though, to make it more simple--his code was designed to do more things than I needed.  Also, he has not had the time to develop the text files to automatically create the database tables, so you have to do that by hand in myphpadmin. 

Hi Luca,

Those are some functions that Jon customized for his own particular use.  It is probably best to just edit those out of the code.  Here is the code from my user/view.php file that I use for private messages if you want to use it.

Ger,

Is there a way each user can see on the course front page that they have a dialogue waiting for them to action or must they click on the dialogue link to check??

John

Hi WP and Ger,

Jon's private message block is very similar to the dialogue module, except -- no notification emails are sent to the users email, it appears in a block so that if a user has a message, they see that when they enter the course (unlike dialogue where users must click on the dialgoue link).  And it has an inbox and outbox.  I still use the dialogue module for carrying on teacher initiated one-on-one communications with a student over a long period of time.

You can have a site-wide mailbox by putting the block on the site homepage, or have a mailbox for each course.  There is no ability to email outside of the site.  There is also a link added to a users profile page to send them a message. 

Although I use this for small group collaborations, there is no way for the teacher to view the messages (unless the loginas of course).

Here are some screenshots:

Enabling a POP3 mail server in Moodle sounds very exciting! Will this mean that Moodle will have the functionality of a mail server where we can assign email addresses to participants regardless of whether or not they have an external email account?

This is an awesome feature!!!

hola David,
I have just downloaded your mail.zip and want to install it on my site.
I see it has a /lang and a /mod folders, which contents I understand I have to upload to their similar paths on my moodle
but you also have a "mail" folder, that i don't know where to upload in order to have the feature installed.
can you give me that single answer, please, together with any other advice you find useful?
(escribo en inglés en honor al resto del grupo
thanx from now,
