This plugin will automatically send email reminders for Moodle calendar events in a timely manner.
Reminders are very useful for both students as well as teachers to recall their scheduled events and activities before the actual moment.
New Features: (in v2+ which works in Moodle 3.5 or above)
- Ability to send reminders after event completed for overdue students
- Ability to enable/disable and schedule reminders per activity
- Reminder email messages when calendar event created/changed/removed
- Prevent sending more email reminders once a student has completed the activity
- Added timezone/location to the email due dates
- Support for course category events
- Improved email style
- Additional cron task to clean old reminder data
- Send reminders only to students who can submit the assignment
- Supports site, course, activity, user and group calendar events
- Ability to customize the reminder schedule globally
- Ability to customize enable/disable reminders per course
- Ability to select reminders eligible user roles per calendar event type
Prerequisite for plugin v1.5.1 or prior:
- Your moodle site must enable logging to make the plugin work properly.
- The Cron job should be enabled
- Cron job should not be lagged to send reminders for custom schedules which has tight schedules.
Note: Please report any issue or feature request at https://github.com/isuru89/moodle-reminders-for-calendar-events by specifying reproducible steps, cron logs (scheduled task logs) and affected moodle + plugin versions.

Is there any way we can avoid this, e.g. by customizing the fields that appear in the email notification? Or could you work on compatibility with the multi-lang filter plugin for future releases?
Thanks in advance!
What am I doing wrong?
How to configure for other activities?

thank you for this plugin, it works very well and it is very effective.
We are having an issue with the Calendar Events generated with Scheduler (https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_scheduler)
Although Events generated via Scheduler appear on users's Moodle Calendar, we have not managed to let Event Reminders "recognise" them and send same notifications (created, updated, cancelled, reminder)
Would you be available to advise on how to handle this?
Many thanks

Moodle is currently sitting on 3.10, and I'm hesitant about moving over while this plugin is instrumental in my current site.
The plugin is already compatible with Moodle 3.9 and should also work with 3.10 as well.
The official 2.2.3 plugin version has just released with a contribution of Privacy policy for GDRP.
Thanks
This reminder plugin supports all moodle core plugins, but for a third party plugin to be complied with this plugin it needs to add calendar events with a type course, category, due, group, site or user. Not sure what kind of events type they are adding to the calendar event db.
I sense a bug here. Is this event due in same day (very close time?) because according to the logs, it says 0 days ahead.
If you can report this issue in github with reproducible steps, I can provide a fix.
Thanks
I have also noticed that reminders were sent to suspended students although we have installed the latest version of the plug-in.
Thank you for your help.
Maybe i missed in reminder settings, but is there a way to set the riminders plugin, so that it is not preeset to send all reminders in your calender? We have a lot of users, some would like to use this plugib, and some would probably not use it. So if it was preset to not send reminders, and only those who want them on would turn them on, that would be great.
We are using moodle 3.9.3
Reminders 2.2.4
Thank you.

We have the following problem with reminders.
Remainder sends Activity Overdue email, even though the student turned in the assignment at the correct time.
For example this happens with a configured assignment
Due Date: April 14 12:30
Cut-off Date: April 14 12:35
If a student upload a file to assignment previous due date, for exameple April 14 12:00, after April 14 12:35 receive an activity overdue email.
But the student upload file in time.
This is a bug true?
The workaround was disable Activity Overdue Reminders
Thanks,
Andrés
