Maintained by In Paris, with a very large beer.Greg J Preece
moodletxt is a block that allows teachers and administrators to send SMS/text messages to their students directly from the Moodle system. The module supports both inbound and outbound messaging, text message status updates, user-personalised messages, message templates and signatures, personal addressbooks, and has full compatibility with user timezones. As of version 3, it also supports event-based messaging via the moodletxt+ message processor.

Future Releases

We are currently working hard to port the moodletxt block to the Moodle 2.x series, and this is rapidly approaching beta. We hope to have a release available for testing later this month. For more information, contact support@txttools.co.uk

Installation

Installation is the same as any other block: simply drop the moodletxt folder into your Moodle installation's /blocks directory, then log into Moodle as an administrator and click the Notifications link on the Site Administration menu. The automatic installation/upgrade scripts will do the rest.

When upgrading, it is recommended to remove the old moodletxt block completely and replace it with a fresh copy from the new installer, before running the upgrade script. All messaging and config data is held within the database, so you will not lose anything by doing this, and it helps prevent conflicts between versions.
