Moodle in English -> Authentication -> Students who don't have e-mail addresses -> Re: Students who don't have e-mail addresses

Hi, Sallie,

This MySQL query will disable all email accounts:
UPDATE `mdl_user` SET maildisplay = '0'

If you were to use the above, your teachers could then go back into their profiles and enable their email, of course.

Obviously not exactly what you are looking for, but I am sure that someone can post a similar query that will do what you want to do.

Anyone?

Moodle in English -> General help -> Does every Moodle student need to have an email address -> Re: Does every Moodle student need to have an email address

Hi, Adrian,

Not a great solution, but if you upload users from a test file, they can all have the same email address (real or bogus) -- http://docs.moodle.org/en/Upload_users

username, password, firstname, lastname, email
janedoe, joeblow, Jane, Doe, someone@example.com
binky, binkypass, Jon, Smith, someone@example.com
rainbow, colors123, Marianne, Jones, someone@example.com

Just a thought.

Regards,
Art

Well, maybe so. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion about that sort of thing, of course.

I took it to be an attempt to inject a little humor into a tense situation. A kind gesture. I really did think he (she?) was trying to be nice.

But I guess that is open to interpretation.

P.S. Kudos to participants in this thread for taking on a tough subject.

Greetings, Ruchira,

Welcome to the community! smile

It is pretty easy for the teacher of a course to simply send an instant message to students to let them know of any developments or to post a daily update to the news forum. (If you are subscribed to the forum you will get the update in your email.)

But that's not really the automated solution you are proposing, is it?

After poking around moodle.org a bit, you may decide to formally request a new feature. The place to do that is the tracker - http://docs.moodle.org/en/Tracker.

After posting your feature request to the tracker, you might want to talk it up a bit in the forums. That way, your Fellow Moodlers will know about it and may even vote for it in the tracker.

I hope that help little.

Happy Moodling!

P.S. Of course, if you are hoping that someone will adopt your proposal for a students project, this was the perfect place to post! smile
