Hi!

We recently upgraded to Moodle 1.8.1. Since then we are having trouble with the assignment module. When a student uploads an assignment, the teacher is suppose to receive an automatic email alert and this isn't happening. However, when the teacher logs into the Moodle site and grades the uploaded assignment, the student does receive an email alert to the grading.

Having said this, when a student uploads an assignment, our cron report reads"

"assignment: ...NOT SUPPORTED (file)"

To me, this seems to be an error and something that could be preventing the automatic email alert to the teacher. We read through similar tracker posts and found that the Moodle 1.8.1 upgrade was suppose to include a patch to fix this problem, but it still doesn't seem to be working for us. In my opinion, if this module isn't supported, as pointed out above, this might be our problem.

Does anyone no anything about these errors in the cron? Considering the assignment module is 'core' module of the base Moodle package, I hope someone can offer further insight on this problem. It is extremely critical for our teachers to receive automatic email alerts to assign versuses having to login to the actual Moodle site periodically throughout each day.

Thanks in advance for your help.
