    We are attempting to install the quickmailmodule... this is the error we get...

    Invalid get_string() identifier: 'modulename' or component
    'mod_quickmail'. Perhaps you are missing $string['modulename'] = ''; in mod/quickmail/lang/en/quickmail.php?

    Has anyone resolved this before?

    Burt,

    It's not a mod. Please install it in the *blocks* folder on your Moodle.

    Have a formatting issue with the new Essentials theme. Have to use the scroll bar at the bottom to see the right side. Anyone have a fix?

    With TinyMCE turned off seems like any other format of input results in all line endings being stripped which results in one long run-on paragraph.

    I just installed Quickmail on Moodle 2.5+ and am receiving a 500 server error when trying to send mail or to configure it. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for addressing this error.

    I've just noticed that the date is missing from the history page. Reported here. https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=227380
    Any solutions to this?

    Hi,

    2 questions:

    1 - Is it possible to replace the "default" messaging system of Moodle by QucikMail? In orther words, is it possible to send email with quickmail directly from the "Participants" page of a course?

    2 - Is it possible to add user with "user role" related to students of a given course? When have setup a "Parent" user role and we'd like to send an email to parents directly from QuickMail.

    Thanks

    Can you leverage this plugin to customize the formatting of emails that get sent out ... i.e. include a signature when sending out emails.

    Thanks.

    Playing a bit of catch-up here:

    Daniel P.: Our version of Quickmail no longer includes actual attachments. It provides links to the files that are housed in Moodle. It requires that the recipient be enrolled in and logged into the system in order to access the files.

    Dennis: We do not do much theme testing outside of our theme and the standard Moodle theme. Sorry.

    Bob: Thanks for this. We have added it to our queue and will look into it when time permits. No ETA at present.

    Christopher: We are running in 2.5.1 with no issues. Did you install it as a mod rather than as a block?

    Daniel M.: This appears to be a theme issue as well. Sorry, but we have no solution for that.

    Maxime: Both of those requests are core changes. We are not doing active development for new components in Quickmail currently.

    Ryan-Neal: Our current version includes signatures already.

    Hi Buddy,

    I might take some time to modify QuickMail in order to include user which have role assigned to participant of a given course (which is the case of the Parent role).

    Are you open to include my patch in case I succeed to do so?

    Regards

    Our developers will certainly give it a look if you are successful. I cannot promise it would get incorporated, but if it is functional and useful, I cannot see why we would not include it. Thanks!

    Is a 2.6 release coming soon? I have just upgraded and now realised I cannot email students in a specific module. Loved your simple Quickmail.
