Is the email alert to teachers working properly for Upload & Review
and Online Text assignment types? In our Moodle, it isn't-- alerts do
arrive, but they do not come with a name in the subject of the email nor in the body (e.g. in the body it says "[blank] has updated their assignment submission...")
Has anyone else experienced this?
Email alerts to teachers -- student name missing
Number of replies: 4Re: Email alerts to teachers -- student name missing
I receive messages from 'no-reply'
Submitted: -> Assignment Name
sender is 'no-reply'
yet from some I get username after submitted: and their correct email address.
It may be their email is hidden - not had time to check out yet.
Is this same symptom?

I am getting the same problem. On the upload a file assignments it works just fine with the student name going to the teacher. On the online text assignments though it sometimes sends a name and then other times does not for the same student. I have checked the user profiles and there is nothing I can see that is different about them.

Re: Email alerts to teachers -- student name missing
Was this solved? I have the same problem with online text assignments on two sites. Both sites run Moodle 1.5.2+ but the first has the Upload and Review module and the second the standard assignment module. It does not make any difference.
In my case, I could identify the cause. If "Hide my email address for everyone" is chosen in the student's profile, the name of the student does not appear in the notification email sent to the teacher. Otherwise, the name shows.
Notifications that refer to upload-a-file assignments are not affected by whether the email address is hidden or not. The student's name appears every time.
I find this feature of online text assignments very inconvenient, and I wonder whether it could be altered. Or has it been fixed in 1.5.3? I would appreciate any information about this.
Thank you very much in advance.

Sorry, I should have checked the bug tracker. I have now learned to do that and found that this is bug #4491. There is no fix for it yet.
