Are there any further developments on this excellent plugin? I'd really like to see the ability to include the user's password. Also, when I tried your plugin the default Moodle new user email was sent as well; how do I ensure that only one email goes out to each user?
This is a great plugin, but i'm having a little problem. When I register a new user he receives two welcome emails. Can anyone help me solving this problem?
Thanks
Yes I know that Moodle could send out randomized passwords when uploading users. Do you know of any "work around" that would be able to combine that initial password email WITH a customized "Welcome" message (e.g. using this plugin)? I think maybe two emails for each new student is a little bit too much for students. Thanks again!
My selfish reason-- I want to send it only to teachers. So, those with an email pattern unique to teacher accounts at our institution.
Soon for Moodle 2.7 ?
cheers
