Hello,
I've seen a couple different ways to e-mail specified addresses when a student completes a quiz. But from what I've seen they all involved manually putting in an e-mail address. I would like to have the results e-mail to the mentee/parent when the quiz is completed. Has anyone done this before or have any ideas of a good way of going about it?
I'm kinda new to Moodle but I feel that many would benefit from this being built in to Moodle.
Unfortunately, that hack won't do what the OP is looking for if I understand it correctly i.e. an email to be sent to a dynamic address (e.g. the students parent) rather than specific addresses.
We don't have parents/mentees in our organisation so not something we thought of or looked into.
There is "official" work going on along these lines so might be an idea to add a feature request. See this thread and in Moodle docs here.

The official "Email Notification" code that is being built into version 1.9 of Moodle will send notification emails to any "role" that has the email attributes set in the "role override" section of the quiz or course.
If you visit the feature request linked at the top of the docs page previously mentioned, you will find a patch for version 1.9 which will almost run on 1.8 of moodle too. I have not tested as I developed this feature on 1.8 and we created it for 1.9 as the "official" version. So it might be better if you request the patch for version 1.8 that I have here and I can post it in this thread if you like. My 1.8 patch does not take note of groupings.
So to notify anyone, you would need to have them as a registered user in Moodle and all in a common role. It is designed to notify supervisors and teachers of all quiz submissions. It does take note of the groupings, but it would be a pain to group by every parent or student so that you can have an email notification to a separate parent for each student.... is possible I guess, but I would not want to administer it.
This feature (as is) is more than likely not what the OP wanted if I read it right. Unless he is talking about a small group of parents for a larger group of students and all parents receiving all student notifications (or a different sub-group of students each).
Another way of wagging the dog would be if you can control the mailboxes of each student and perhaps duplicate emails with certain subjects. This would also be a bit of a pain in the ..... but could use the "confirmation" feature to the student him/her self and copy to someone in the mailbox processing.
This is also messy. Personally I would not do that as it is a maintenance nightmare.
Hope this helps
