    Has anyone used the 4.2 version with moodle 4.3?
  • Daniel Caixeta Queiroz Garcia

    I am experiencing an issue when attempting to duplicate a message in Moodle version 4.3.3+ with the Quickmail plugin version v4.2.1 (2023070700). The error message I receive is as follows:

    block_quickmail\filemanager\message_file_handler::__construct(): Argument #1 ($message) must be of type block_quickmail\persistents\message, null given, called in [dirroot]/blocks/quickmail/classes/filemanager/message_file_handler.php on line 79.

    I would greatly appreciate any guidance or solutions to resolve this problem. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Hi there
    Love this plugin, is there any way to add data fields? I would love to the username to this list. Given that our students have a student number as a username, a lot of them tend to forget it. Getting it as a reminder before start of a course would really help.
    Thanks in advance!

    Is there an ETA for Moodle 4.3?

    Dear, good morning. We're facing an issue after updating the Quickmail plugin. Previously, teachers were able to see all emails sent to students by other teachers. In the new version, each teacher can only see the history of emails they personally sent, without being able to view the email history sent by other teachers. Has this feature been removed from newer versions? Is this related to compliance with FERPA regulations?

    Hello, I am seeing the same issue as Belardo sales. When I check the log, I see a lot of failed Quickmail reports, similar to this one:

    Send all scheduled Quickmail messages

    Veiwing the failed log shows:

    I am running QM version v4.2.2
    2024101701

    on Moodle 4.38, build 20241011. I did not have this issue before updating QM and Moodle on 10/15/24. I just updated QM again, but that did not fix the issue.

    I have quickmail installed. I upgraded the moodle installation to version 4.5. I tried to update the quickmail version to 4.5.1 I have installed the plugin via, the install button here, the zip file to the direct server, and the zip file uploaded within the moodle installation. (and yes I deleted each version and install quickmail before trying the next way). But I am constantly getting this error. Exception - Class "question_bank" not found

    More information about this error

    And also within the plugin overview it says:

    v4.2.2 of quickmail
    2024101701

    any help ???

    Update to my message Wed, Oct 30, 2024, 11:06 AM

    I changed the group setting from the default for the "block_quickmail_ferpa" setting to "Respect Course Mode" rather than the default "Always Separate Groups". This appears to have fixed the problem.

    Hello! This plugin is really good! One question: are there plans to implement a filter that shows the student's final grade in the course? It is the value in the "finalgrade" field in the mdl_grade_grades table.

    We are thinking about upgrading to Moodle 4.5 at the beginning of the summer. Is Quickmail now compatible with Moodle 4.5?

    Somehow some language strings do not appear in Moodle's translation tool (AMOS), for example the string with the identifier "from". So even though in AMOS it says this plugin is 100% translated to a language. If you actually use it with that language some strings are still not translated.

    Sans doute en effet. Car j'ai moi-même du utiliser la traduction interne de Moodle pour créer ma traduction personnelle.
    Mais vous pouvez vous-même aller dans AMOS et terminer la traduction.

    We are using the latest version of Quickmail with Moodle 4.1. In the settings, "Allow students to use Quickmail" is set to "No", however, the block in each course allows students to go in and send emails. When I check the permissions on the block, there is a "View block permission that allows students, auditors, etc. to view the block. It appears to override the Quickmail setting. I can change the permissions for the block in the individual course, but that is not feasible to do in all courses. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?
