Hope you can help me understand better this issue.
As I've understood it, it seems to me that method prevents students from send messages to anyone.
Is that right?
While the thread starter (and me too) would like to prevent students from sending messages to other students, but ok to send messages to teachers.
Thanks

So to be clear, the messaging system is designed to allow users to send messages to pretty much anyone. Every year I have enabled it, my teenage students go insane trolling each other with the system. Disabling it is a must. That's a shame since it's a great way to notify students, and keep a record of what was sent rather than dealing with email and forums.
So I'm working on the core hacks to Moodle 3.5 restrict student message to just between the teacher and the students. Moodle developers definitely have moved classes around in the Message folder which is why the old 3.0 hacks do not work anymore.
Let me know if there's anything I'm missing.
FYI, The viewparticipants role has no effect on messaging. I've seen people post this as a possible solution. All it does is kill the participants link in the Navigation block.
If students use the forum, they can still click on a user name, go to the profile and then click the MESSAGE button.
Hello Sam,
I am interested in your core hacks as I have the same need. Where can I find your code if it is permissible for you to share it?
Thanks,
Madhu
