Moodle in English: Feedback- Frontpage- Email

Feedback- Frontpage- Email

by Todd Thornton - Wednesday, May 21, 2008, 5:53 AM

I know there's been a problem with Forum emails on the front page being sent so this may be related. I'm exploring using the feedback module on the homepage to report a tech support issue from any class. (I'll just link to it) I've even changed the default front page role to student to test things out, but with email notification on, no email is being sent to the administrator when a feedback is posted. Email notification works fine within a class so just wondering if anyone has any suggestions I could try.

Hi,

the administrator per default is prevent to receive email. If you want the admin should get the emails so you have to override the admin role for the especially feedback-instance (set mod/feedback:receivemail to "Allow").
Do not change the global admin-role. Otherwise the admin will get the emails from all feedbacks.

Andreas,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried your solution which should work, but even if I override the administrator role in the Feedback to allow for mail, I still don't receive any email notifications. As you already pointed out, there's no way I would want to override the entire role of administrator, but maybe there's another setting somewhere that I'm missing or something unique to my setup.

Hi Todd,

I have found the wrong thing. Please load the last version from here:
http://www.grabs-edv.de/referenzen/moodle/feedback-Modul/download.php

Now the admin should receive mails if he is set as teacher for the especially feedback or the admin role is overriden.
