Description

I find that people are falling behind on assignment and quiz deadlines, and i'd rather target to the individuals rather than just posting general notices in the news section.

I will look at PHP howtos but having a checkbox and submit mail text area in the /mod/assignment/submissions.php would be very helpful.

This would allow a quick way to send a note Hey, do your assignment before it goes offline tomorrow! The pass to MTA could mark the message with higher priority, for example...

This sounds like a great solution for me, too. Amazing that my students aren't able to click through all of the assignments to see what isn't completed. Targets are good. Usually I need this when someone has not submitted work...I wonder if at a tiny report could tag onto the end of the forum view that would indicate who has not contributed...that way, we could send those guys notes, too.

Is there a standard SMTP PHP class that you can pass an array of properly formated email addresses, subject text, and message text for deliver? Moodle is relying on the PHP provided mail handling right?

Should be a conditional check for submitted == no then write to mailme[] with a textaare input on the page right? If I get some freetime I'll try to learn' me some PHP and take a stab at it. PHP is basically perl for python hackers right? (he ducks, he doges, he escapes...)

Moodle is already using a fancy mail handling class, so the code required is not going to be that complicated - it just needs a nice clean GUI.

I think this is pretty much the same thing as MDL-121 (which was Tom's idea)
