[Solved] Question on the Joomdle Auth Plugin in Moodle

Hi.
I have a little problem which is not directly related to Joomdle, I think, so I'm just cheking out.
I use Joomla to create users thru forms and Joomdle to add validated users to Moodle - this latter step is done manually for policy reasons. Once in Moodle, I wanted them to receive an automated welcome message and so I use an Moodle plugin called Moodle Welcome. This is important because otherwise I have to manually email every new user from Joomdle to give them follow up instructions.
So far so good. However, altough the Joomdle auth plugin is listed in that Moodle Welcome plugin and so eligible to the welcome message, the message/e-mail is not sent.
I sure asked the plugin developer and he said that he had not tried the Joomdle auth plugin yet. But acoording to him, "This plugin (the Moodle Welcome) hooks into Moodle's event triggers that are fired when a new user is created. Auth plugins should fire this event. If the Joomdle auth plugin does not have this trigger no email will be send."
Well, since all users added thru Joomdle are sucessfully created in Moodle with no other issues, I believe the so called event is indeed trigered and the problem resides somewhere else.
I'm just asking for an opinion. Thanks

Hi Adolfo.

Joomdle should be triggering event as it calls create_user_record(), which triggers the event.

Is the plugin working for moodle-only users? I mean: if you set the plugin to use manual auth plugin too, and create a new user in moodle as an admin, does the email work?

Hi Antonio,

Thanks for the reply.
I have tested it with a manual account and the Moodle Welcome plugin sent the email just fine.

I installed the plugin and checked how it all works toguether, and see the same: it will not work as it is now.
But it seems I have found a quick fix that should make it work.

Add this function to moodle/auth/joomdle/auth.php:
You can put this function anywhere inside the class, so you can put it just after this line:

Thank you I'll try it out and let you know.

:woohoo: It has worked just fine!
Thank you again.
