Hi,
Would appreciate any help on the following issue.
I am working on open badges project and one of the things that I need to do is to send emails to users with the badges they earned. Generating an email is not a problem at all, but apparently adding an email attachment is.
I was going to use email_to_user() which seems to be perfect for what I want to do. It has $attachment as a parameter which is supposed to be a (string) path to "a file on the filesystem, relative to $CFG->dataroot".
However, looking at this discussion https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=200118, I understand that getting this very filepath through File API (or any other way) is not possible at all... Am I missing something here? What is the point of having such an option in email_to_user() if it can never be used? And is there any workaround solution for this problem?
Thanks!
Yuliya
