    Hi Bas, your plugin seems to be fantastic! Only a question: have I to modify something in the autentication plugin? I'm on 2.6. Thanks

    Your plugin simply doesn't work on my site. After sign up the users get a blank page (the title in the address bar is the same of signup); if you try to log in you receive the advice that an email was sent to you email address; I can confirm the user by the administration tools, but no email are sent to anyone (I tried with several domains). I've got no problem with the traditional authentication system and no problem with cron-job. Must the email arrive fast? Thanks.

    After updating to Moodle 3.1, notification shows «The following plugins in your system are using Events 1 API deprecated handlers: 'local_welcome'. Please, update them to use Events 2 API. See https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Event_2#Event_dispatching_and_observers

    Hi, the plugin indeed sends email to the user but not to the admin. Do you have an idea ?

    Hi there!
    This looks like exactly what I need. Any chance it will be released for 3.1 in the near future?
