--WHAT IS IT?--

moodletxt is a block that allows teachers and administrators to send SMS/text
messages to their students directly from the Moodle system. It is available
to all bbconnecttxt.com customers, and trial accounts can be
provided on request. The module supports both inbound and outbound messaging,
allowing teachers to text their students and receive replies without ever
leaving Moodle. It also supports text message status updates, user-personalised
messages, message templates and signatures, and more.


--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 data is held within the database, so you will not lose
anything by doing this, and it helps prevent conflicts between versions.


--IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR UPGRADERS FROM MOODLE 1.9.x--

If you are upgrading from Moodle 1.9 to 2.3 and beyond, then Moodle requires
that you first upgrade to Moodle 2.2, and then to 2.3 or above from there.
If you are planning such an upgrade, and this includes moodletxt, then you must
upgrade moodletxt to version 3 when you upgrade your Moodle installation to 2.2,
not after the upgrade to 2.3 or above. This is because Moodle's upgrade system
changed with Moodle 2.3, and as a result moodletxt cannot support direct
upgrades from Moodle 1.9 to 2.3 or above.
