Moodle Emails

[Mintsoft]

Howdy all, long time no see

Right, does anyone know how to turn off moodle emailing EVERYONE whenever a news item is changed on main page etc. I think personally I'd like to just disable as much of the emailing as possible!

Thanks

This is a per user setting. It's up to them if they wish to get spammed to death or not.

Damn, so theres not a way to make it default to being off or anything like that

Thanks

Well you can run an SQL query on the DB and disable it in each users settings.

Ahh Good Idea, it would at least do for the moment I thinks!

Generic comments like that point in the direction of a bot to me.

Hi,

You might want to try this:

1. Go to a link similar to this one

 http://yoursite/moodle/mod/forum/view.php?f=somenumber&showall=1 
  

"yoursite" = your domain
"somenumber" = the id number of the forum

2. Click the "allow everyone to choose" link.

That should do it.

Hope that helps a bit.

I just stumbled onto this one again. Our zimbra is getting 18k email per day from the forums!

UPDATE mdl_user SET maildigest=2;

for Default:

ALTER TABLE `moodle_database`.`mdl_user` MODIFY COLUMN `maildigest` TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 2;
