Blocks

Andy,

We are using this block (quickmail - larger classes) with IE and are not seeing any issues.  www.justicedegree.org , PHP Version 5.1.6, Moodle 1.93beta.

Hey Wen (sorry for the bump here, but can't figure this out despite much searching) ,

Can you help me with a quickmail hack.....

I need to have quickmail populate the list of site admins into all course e-quickmail lists.
 
Right now this code in line 76 of email.php:

 //Get list of users enrolled in the course including teachers and students
    if (!$courseusers = get_course_users($course->id, 'lastname')) {
        error('No course users found to email');
    }
    

This just gives me teachers + students within a course. I need this plus the site admins.  The only way to do it now is to manually add each admin in as a teacher.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

Hello Wen,

I would also love to see groups support -- which was our main reason for installing the "old" Quickmail block in the first place

Thanks for all your effort!

Cheers,
Markus

This is all I see.

Hello Wen,

now sorry for my late answer, but I didn't get the messsage via E-Mail

The problem ist solved. Our database admin has not used a prefix for the moodle database tables. I have modified the code

One other question. It is not possible to attach files so I deactivate this feature. If I attach files to quickmail I only get a white screen and no emails are sended.
What might be wrong?
Or do you know actually this bug?

Thanks again for an answer
Andreas

P.S. Is Quickmail a core feature of Moodle 2.0?

Hi Wen,

back again I have to solve the attachement issue.
I use Version 2.7 (I don't know exactly where it is from). The version we use is much more different from 2.6 in its code.

Our version has other filestructures than 2.6.
We have a send_quickmail.php which is also responsible for sending attachements.

The problem with the white screen results from this code fragment I think:

" if (sizeof($mail_list)<=1 && $mail_list[0]=="") {
$form->error = get_string('toerror', 'block_quickmail');
} else if (!$form->subject) {
$form->error = get_string('subjecterror', 'block_quickmail');
} else if (!$form->message) {
$form->error = get_string('messageerror', 'block_quickmail');
} else {
if (!empty($form->attachment)) {
require_once ($CFG->dirroot . '/files/model/manager.php');
require_once ($CFG->dirroot . '/repository/manager.php');
$maxattachmentsize = $CFG->block_quickmail_max_attach_size;
$modelmanager = files_model_manager::get_instance();

if (!preg_match('@^/[0-9]+(/.*)?@', $form->attachment)) {
$file = $modelmanager->get_model_by_path($form->attachment, 'file', $USER);
} else {
$file = $modelmanager->get_model_by_path($form->attachment, 'file');
}

if ($file) {
if ($file->contentlength > $maxattachmentsize * 1024 * 1024) {
$form->error = "The file attachment specified ($form->attachment) is larger than the maximum attachment size for Quickmail. File attachments must be smaller than $maxattachmentsize MB.";
}
} else {
$form->error = get_string('attachmenterror', 'block_quickmail', $form->attachment);
$form->attachment = '';
}
}
}

// process the attachment
$attachment = $attachname = '';

if (has_capability('moodle/course:managefiles', $context)) {
if ($file) {
$attachment = substr($file->localpath, strlen($CFG->dataroot) + 1);
$attachname = $file->name;
}
} else {
require_once($CFG->libdir.'/uploadlib.php');

$um = new upload_manager('attachment', false, true, $course, false, 0, true);

// process the student posted attachment if it exists
if ($um->process_file_uploads('temp/block_quickmail')) {
// original name gets saved in the database
$form->attachment = $um->get_original_filename();

// check if file is there
if (file_exists($um->get_new_filepath())) {
// get path to the file without $CFG->dataroot
$attachment = 'temp/block_quickmail/'.$um->get_new_filename();

// get the new name (name may change due to filename collisions)
$attachname = $um->get_new_filename();
} else {
$form->error = get_string("attachmenterror", "block_quickmail", $form->attachment);
}
} else {
$form->attachment = ''; // no attachment
}
} "

These two lines:
"require_once ($CFG->dirroot . '/files/model/manager.php');
require_once ($CFG->dirroot . '/repository/manager.php');"

require files an folders we don't have in our Moodle source tree.

Do you or others in this discussion thread has any hints to solve this issue or a linlk, where I can get the missing files?

Thanks and all the best
Andreas
