  Folks,
  
  Of course the plugin can't access encrypted passwords in the database, but if what you're trying to achieve is for new users (well, users imported by CSV) to get an HTML-formatted, admin-customisable email with their password, then there's another solution.
  
  It's possible to set a new password for each user during e-mail sending; if they have never seen the one that Moodle itself generated, then generating and saving a new one is of no (minimal?) consequence.
  
  The following patch (against version 2014101300 of this plugin) generates and sets a password per-user, and makes it available as `newpasswordtext` following the example of Moodle core: http://pastebin.com/yAPTYDTS
  
  Changes made available under GNU GPL v3 or later.
  
  Cheers,
  
  C

  Hi,
  are there any plans to add Moodle 2.8 support to this plugin? Or is it fully compatible and just the compatibility info has not been upgraded yet?

  Thank you for updating the compatibility info. Is it possible to make the plugin send welcome messages only after the user has confirmed his e-mail? I initially though that they were send before because of some compatibility issue but it seems to be the intended action.

  Hi Mohammed,
  
  I am glad you like it. If a user's email is not correct the notification will not arrive. If the users contacts you about it you can use Moodle's standard user administration to correct the email address an confirm the user account.

  Hi. Is it compatible with the Joomdle Auth plugin? Although joomdle is listed, the welcome message is not sent...

  Hi Adolfo,
  
  I have not tried the Joomdle auth plugin yet. This plugin hooks into Moodle's event triggers that are fired when a new user is created. Auth plugins should fire this event. If the Joomdle auth plugin does not have this trigger no email will be send.

  Hi Bas Brands,
  Thank you for the feedback.
  Then I have to check with the Joomdle people.

  So, if I understand your post above. In order to set the Password at the time the email is sent, the following lines of code need to be added after the value array is loaded in the latest iteration as well:
  
  if (strpos($message_user, 'newpasswordtext') !== FALSE){
  $fields[] = 'newpasswordtext';
  $newpassword = generate_password();
  update_internal_user_password($user, $newpassword, FALSE);
  $values[] = $newpassword;;
  }

  Hi Mykl,
  
  That looks like it could work yes. I will not add the code to the welcome plugin, if an admin uploads a csv with passwords they will be reset when using this bit of code. It would be okay if the admin knows about this but if not it could confuse users.
  In any case thanks for posting this!
