This simple plugin sends users daily digests of changed content within their enrolled courses. As of version 0.2.0, we use the Moodle messaging system to achieve this, allowing your site's users to choose between the different messaging outputs you've enabled (email, Jabber, popup, etc.).

Many thanks for sharing this plugin with the Moodle community. Please review the validation results and fix all of the issues mentioned. These changes are typically pretty easy to make but if you have any questions just let us know.
Maturity information ($plugin->maturity) not found in version.php
Release notes not found (searched for files README, README.*)
I noticed that the recommended boilerplate was not used in the version.php file. The boilerplate is recommended at the beginning of each file and makes explicit the GPL license.
You may want to review http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Coding_style#Files to learn more about the boilerplate comments.
I was successfully able to install the plugin but did not do any extensive testing. I noticed that you use it to send email. I was curious how you implemented this. Have you had a look at http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Messaging_2.0#Message_types_.28providers.29? I did not look closely at the code but thought this would be the ideal way to handle the notification and then the user determines how they wish to receive it (via popup, email, etc.)
For now, I am going to mark this plugin as needing more work until we get these issues resolved. Thanks for your patience with the review and approval process. Peace - Anthony
Many thanks for your feedback! I've made a start on addressing the above issues, but I'll need to dedicate a little more time reworking the mailer code to use the messaging API. That's a really nice idea, though -- I'll definitely switch over.
I'll refrain from uploading a new version until this is complete.
Regards,
Luke.
Sorry!
Will send when cron.php is executed?
He send only one time per day ?
Thank you so much.
I have a question.
Does this plug-in send email when a user is enrolled in a course?
Thanks
Ann
