separate digests per course

Description

It would be nice if digests were compiled on a per-course basis rather than as one single email. That way if a student needed to review what had gone on in a particular course and had several days of digests to review, they could focus on only that course. Moreover, if a student is enrolled in a number of courses, a single digest could get awfully large.

I'm reassigning this since it seems now that forum requests are now going to Petr.

We have code modifications that do this and are working for us. Please see http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=52177. Note that the file attached to that posting is not correct. See the Reply to the posting for the correct file.

I don't think this will make it into 1.7 as they have closed off any new features at this point, but maybe for 1.7.1. Probably would be helpful once 1.7 is released if you posted a 1.7 version of this so it can be tested then for inclusion in the main code.

I'd appreciate some guidance on how best to influence the community when it comes to whether or not this kind of modification gets incorporated into the main code. We put a fair amount of time and effort into this modification's development and testing (and I allocated funding to support it - at a time when I had funding). It's working for us (and so was worth our investment), but (a) I'd like to see the community benefit from it, and (b) having to test and re-test the mod at every Moodle upgrade continues to cost us.

hi!

the best way is to post a patch (unified diff output format) here as an attachment - against the latest development version, inline comments explaining the changes are welcome.

we are now in strict feature freeze, Martin has to confirm all new features in 1.7.x - but it is not usually problem if the code is well written and does not change user and teacher interface, admins can usually handle more changes in the stable branch (and of course we have the new nice admin settings area which helps a lot)

An improvement: don't sent posts already read by the user.
As the system now tracks who has read the post, maybe only posts that have not been read should be sent by e-mail
Also don't sent and mark as read those posts that the author is the destination of the e-mail
