Notify all class participants not working
Closed this issue · 9 comments
Describe the bug
Notify all class participants checkbox does not produce any notifications. This was working a couple of versions ago. Has any notification code changed recently?
To Reproduce
- Go to any lesson plan
- Click Edit
- Click Notify all class participants checkbox
- No error is reported but no notifications show up in Notifications so it is something internal to Gibbon rather than being an external email problem.
Your System
Cutting edge Gibbon 22
Hi FV. Hmm, this is interesting. I've just tested it locally with v22 and it appears to be working. As a note, it sends a notification rather than a message wall post. These notifications would be sent directly to anyone enrolled in the class for that lesson (and not set to Left). If you have email setup, it'll send an email as well as appear in the notifications tray for that user.
I wonder, are you seeing this in a production server, a local server, or both?
Hello Sandra! I am seeing it in both my production and test systems. :(
Hmm, that's odd. I don't see any recent changes to the script that could be the culprit, and my local tests worked.
Can you check your PHP error logs to see if there's anything in there? Then, if you have a database tool like phpMyAdmin or Sequel Ace, check the tail end of the gibbonNotification table to see if the notifications are being created.
In my test server the notification table shows:

But no notifications appear in the Home > Notifications. The user is associated with the class (teacher) so it should be working.
Thanks for your help! (SequelAce is an interesting tool!)
Sorry, I forgot to say that the php log shows no errors.
Hmm, it looks like by all accounts there isn't an error, the notifications were created successfully.
You've mentioned the user associated with the class is the teacher. Is that also the person making the edits and triggering the notification? The person who made the edits doesn't receive the notification, because they're already aware of the edits since they made them.
Well, it appears I am suffering from brain overload. I am forgetting how my own code works! Sorry for the trouble!
No worries at all, we've all been there 😅
