Breakthrough
This may not sound particularly significant, or even that much of an achievement, but it is something I’ve been trying to do for the last few months…
I now have our Moodle server connected up to the University’s email server, so messages, forum subscriptions etc. can now be sent out to those users who have filled in their email address. This makes the whole system far more useful than it would have been otherwise. I can now do things like turn on self-registration (not worried about spam accounts yet as we’re only on the intranet) and save me the bother of creating everyones accounts.
When I was with the ICT dept sorting out the SMTP connection and relay access settings, they even mentioned that they’d be able to support the server in their server room – which is great for me, as then I know that someone will be at least maintaining the server after I’ve left.
Well done Alex. It’s good to know you’re putting your talents to good use over there.
Will.
