    • MOODLE_35_STABLE, MOODLE_37_STABLE
    • MOODLE_37_STABLE
    • MDL-63569-email-header-master
    • Hide

      Pre requisite

      • Make sure your test system is capable of sending emails (set up a local mailhog, mailcatcher, etc to catch them)

      Test to confirm backwards compatibility

      Fire off a simple test email from the cli:

      php -r "define('CLI_SCRIPT', true); require_once('config.php'); email_to_user((object)['id'=>1,'email' => 'user@example.com'], core_user::get_support_user(), 'subject1', 'body');"

      • See that you get the email as expected with just 'subject1'

      Test to confirm the desired behavior

      • Set admin config 'emailsubjectprefix' to something like "[ACME Corp]"

      Fire off another simple test email from the cli:

      php -r "define('CLI_SCRIPT', true); require_once('config.php'); email_to_user((object)['id'=>1,'email' => 'user@example.com'], core_user::get_support_user(), 'subject2', 'body');"

      • See that you get the email with the constant prepended to the subject, i.e. "[ACME Corp] subject2"

      We have a number of government clients who find that emails with a subject containing the string "[SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]" are more likely to get through their mail servers.

      We'd like the ability to add a constant to the subject of all emails sent by Moodle to accomplish this.

      For example, given a constant of "[SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]", and an email where the subject would have previously been "Welcome to Moodle", the email would be sent with a subject of "[SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] Welcome to Moodle".
