Hi Simone,
I do not see any option to actually specify dependencies for plugins (there is a requirements section, but that does not enforce dependency checks)...
Viele Grüße,

Guido

Ok, I'm going to install it, thanks. Out of curiosity, would it be possible to specify that plugin as a dependency for this one so that Moodle automatically checks for its presence before installing this? I know it's written here, but it seems there's a common attitude (including me) to install things without reading the docs in advance...

Thank you for the log, which indeed explains the problem. As mentioned in both the requirements and the installation guide (step 1), you need to install local_changeloglib first to remove the issue. The white page appears because a file that is „required“ by PHP does not exist (because the other plugin wasn‘t installed), which crashes the PHP execution right at the start of the plugin.
Install local_changeloglib (as linked in the article), and you should be fine.

Sorry for any problems this module seems to cause. Please follow the steps outline a bit above (from May 6, 2020) to figure out what the exact error message(s) are, and send them to me (roessling@acm.org, or here in the comments), so we can figure out what the problem is. It works without a problem in my installation, so it is hard to reproduce without further information...

Same here. After copying "uploadnotification" into "moodle/local/" folder, my site went blank page with error 500. Server logs (/var/log/apache2/error.log) do not show anything though. Running Moodle 3.11 latest stable on Debian GNU/Linux.

What do you mean by "your system crashed by installing this"? What exactly happened (if you re-install it after turning on debugging, what does the message show)?
See the description a few posts further up for debugging. As the lead developer has left the team, I need more information to check what might have gone wrong...

I want to send auto-generated email to the enrolled students on new activity uploaded to the particular course. My moodle version is 3.10. Any possibility to accommodate that ? Pls Guide. (This plugin is not compatible with 3.9 or 3.10. My system crashed by installing this.) Pls let me have an update one or any alternative solution to achieve the above task. Thank you so much !!!

Hi Henrik,
although the lead developer is no longer working with us, the plugin works without problems in our 3.9 (now 3.10) installation .

Hi,

Is these plugins going to be updated to Moodle 3.9?

Hi Felix,
I am sorry to hear that, but cannot confirm these issues here. Can you please do the following steps and let me know what comes out of it?
1. Uninstall the plugin (e.g., manually delete ......./local/uploadnotification and ....../local/changeloglib)
2. Check that Moodle now works flawlessly (no "white page")
3. Turn on debugging
4. Reinstall the plugin
5. Check if the "white page" has reappeared
6. Look at the server logs (near the end) of your web server and copy the error message. That should give a clue to what is wrong.
(then de-install the plugin and reset debugging to the previous level).
Thank you!

Hey Guido,
I have the same problem. "White Page" after installing your plugin.

I would be surprised if this plugin is indeed to blame for that, as we have it running, as well. If simply uninstall the plugin, your site should be back in working order.

Hi, my moodle site got totally "white paged" after trying to install the plugin, using moodle 3.8. What do I have to do to undo this?

Hi,
since we've updated to moodle 3.8 the plugin doesn't work properly. There's a course where messages are sent and another where no messages are sent, but both courses have the same settings. Is this due to the incompatibility or might there be another reason? Thanks for suggestions.

Regards, Anja
