Disable Badge Issue Email Messages
by ? ? - Monday, 9 February 2015, 3:21 AM
 

Hi there,

We intend to use badges for courses and course collections but the criteria of these badges includes legacy courses which means there will potentially be a large number of emails sent to users when the badge is created and enabled.

Ideally (for other reasons aswell as the above!) we would like to disable the sending of these emails across the board.

I've been through the Site Admin and can't see the capability to control this email activity.

Is it there and I've missed it, or is there a workaround that anyone can suggest?

Thanks

Ben

Hi Ben,

On admin level, there are badges settings under "Home  ► Site administration  ► Plugins  ► Message outputs  ► Default message outputs.

cheers,

George.

Hi George,

Thanks for your speedy reply.

I've been to that location but I can't see anything about badges in that page.

I am on TOTARA 2.5 - do you think that this is a new entry to the options after that version?

Thanks again,
Ben

Hi Ben,

Apologies - this feature has been added on 2.6, is it possible for you to upgrade?

regards,

George.

Thanks for the info on this. 

The argument to upgrade grows daily!

Kind regards,
