  Actually a csv file cannot be sent to an email address directly. A link to the file can be sent to a Moodle user and indirectly forwarded to that users email address, but the user still needs to log into Moodle to retrieve the csv file or create one from the data included in the email.
  
  We are using this tool to collect daily attendance to be imported to our SIS. Ideally I would like to have the csv file automatically dropped to ftp. The few extra steps we take daily to download the report and place it in a file is mildly annoying. BUT that being said is still 1000 times better than collecting and posting attendance by hand. Not complaining, I am very grateful for this tool. Just a suggestion regarding the ftp drop.

  Well, if someone can code that option without making either the user interface, or the back-end code, too much more complicated, then I would certainly accept the change (and it should certainly be possible to do). However, doubt I will have the time or inclination to code this myself.

  Automating Attendance from all courses
  
  Hi,
  I'm wondering if anyone has written AN SQL query for generating an attendance report for all students for all courses?
  
  Love the power of this!

  I am having a hopefully simple issue. Moodle is installed under centos..
  When I schedule a run of a sql query it never runs. The command crontab -l shows nothing scheduled and I see no cron.php in the report/customsql directory
  
  Is there something I need to do to have a query run at a specific time?
  
  Thanks
  Tim

  Regarding the issue with the customsql not automatically running, as a side note I did have to add the whet call for everything else (forums, badges) to the crontab manually.
  So maybe someone knows what to add for the sql database query?

  After I changed the cron to use cli it seems to at least look at it, but the job was scheduled for 12:00 and at 12:00 I see this in the logs
  Starting admin reports
  Processing cron function for report_customsql...
  ... started 12:00:02. Current memory use 59.9MB.
  ... Looking for old temp CSV files to delete.
  done. (2 dbqueries, 0 seconds)
  
  I know the query is good since the exact same one can be run on-demand
  
  Any ideas?
  Thanks

  Sorry, don't know why it is not working for you. We use this feature all the time at the Open University, and it does work. So, you just have to work out how to get it set up on your server, and I am afraid I don't think I can be much help there. Sorry.

  Is there a command that might fire it off manually? I could cron that

  I sorted out my issues with reports not running.
  1) single entry for cron in crontab, not in cron.hourly
  2) it will only run once a day, so if the custom query ran at 8:00 today and you reschedule it for 10:00 it will not run again today (unless you set lastrun to 0 in mdl_report_customsql_queries)
  
  Stumbled across this..

  Hi Tim and Mahmoud,
  
  I just added a few pull requests.
  
  Any idea when a Moodle 3.0 compatible version might become available?
  
  Best regards,

  Hi Tim and Mahmoud,
  
  Just added one more pull request. This one puts the list of reports in a table to make it easier to read the list of reports, especially when combined with the expandable/collapsible list feature I added last week.
  
  Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
  
  Best regards,
  
  Michael

  Hello,
  
  I am looking at the available report options but don't see one that counts currently enrolled users within a time period e.g. How many users were enrolled between 1 month or some other time period (1 week, 30 days). I am just looking for the number of enrolled users across the whole site that are enrolled between dates and not course specific. Could someone point me to which one would carry that out please? Or perhaps help with the query that I would need to use or change?
  
  Thanks
