Certification email notifications via cron

Hey, Totara team!

I have changed the totara_assignment eventname in the mdl_events_handlers table to use cron instead of instant schedule due to an issue I've raised via the support forum regarding timeout when assigning a Dynamic Audience (containing around 300 users) on a Certification.

The assignment worked and alerts are being sent when assigning people via cron, however emails e.g. course enrolment message are not being sent via cron. Cron is working and I have setup our SMTP settings in Totara correctly, so I cannot fathom why it's not working.

Can you help?

You can check my ticket ref on Totara support regarding my timeout issue.

The above information regarding changing the schedule for the program_assignment event name was found in the forum.

Cheers

Tom

Hi Tom,

There is no totara_assignment event in the standard install, did you mean a different event or is this some kind of local customisation?

Sorry, Ciaran. I meant to say program_assignment.

Cheers
