Hello,
I have been struggling with this too. I have turned off Moodle messaging, because many people find it annoying and don't understand when, where, or how to find Moodle messages. Instead, I am trying to send all messages to email.
I found a couple of things that have helped get assignment notification emails to go out to students, but it is still not always working.
I have found that I need to have
Site_administration ->Plugins->Message_outputs->Manage_message_outputs pop-up_notifications OFF. Strangely, allow I disabled that setting in October this year, I just found it enabled again. Maybe it was reset when we did a dot update from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6?
Also, I find the whole
Messaging settings confusing--especially the
Default method outputs:Site administration -> Plugins -> Message_outputs->Default_message_outputs
Finally, I wonder to what extent, if any,
MDL-36941 is causing problems with notification.
If anyone has info, please share!!!!
