Language customisations for Moodle emails

Language customisations for Moodle emails

Moodle Language Packs

I’m often asked where a specific language string hides within a Moodle Language Pack.  There’s no way I can remember them all, and I often find myself  repeating the same process trying to find them.  So I thought I’d keep a running document  that shows where they are and what they do. I’ll keep adding to this list as I go. If anyone has any more, please share them with me (@lewiscarr).  Eventually I’d love to turn this into some funky infographic type document.

Welcome Email Confirmation

String: emailconfirmation

Standard Text:
Hi {$a->firstname}, A new account has been requested at ‘{$a->sitename}’ using your email address. To confirm your new account, please go to this web address: {$a->link} In most mail programs, this should appear as a blue link which you can just click on. If that doesn’t work, then cut and paste the address into the address line at the top of your web browser window. If you need help, please contact the site administrator, {$a->admin}

New User Email password generated from CSV Upload

Your current login information is now: username: {$a->username} password: {$a->newpassword} (you will have to change your password when you login for the first time) To start using ‘{$a->sitename}’, login at {$a->link} In most mail programs, this should appear as a blue link which you can just click on. If that doesn’t work, then cut and paste the address into the address line at the top of your web browser window. Cheers from the ‘{$a->sitename}’ administrator, {$a->signoff}
