I am receiving the same error. The culprit appears to be the "$may_cache" variable. I thought it might be a typo and so I tried
$my_cache instead. Still didn't work. I do not know anything about PHP programming so this is as far as I could go.

Line 135 function localemail_menu($may_cache) {
Line 136 $items = array();
Line 137
Line 138 if ($may_cache) {

yes this is a problem but i have corrected it to some extend. i have edited the file and now link appears in the user settings but does not work.

i think the problem is with this function

function localemail_admin()

i don't know exactly but others seem to be correct.

Newcomer , love drupal, I've not had many issues. This is one issue. I'm very new to this, any advice would be appreciated.

Same install issue.

Looks like the project is kind-of dead, which is weird because I conversed with the maintainer a few weeks ago by email. But my last, more recent, email went unanswered, and it doesn't look like the issue queue is looked regularly.

Shame, because for the school website I'm doing, something like this is really important. :(

Yes. I am sorry I have not been keeping track of this project. I don't actually do much Web programming and did not plan on supporting this module through out its life time. This was maybe short sighted of me.

I am quite busy with other software projects. However, I do believe in giving back to the community so I will give it a shot.

I believe if you change line 135 mentioned above to:

function localemail_menu($may_cache = false) {

it may fix the problem. Can someone test this?

I think these problems are related to changes in Drupal's API. This code was written for an earlier version in which it worked fine.

BTW, if someone would be willing to take over this project I'd be happy to pass it on.

Also, if you send me comments to my user via. the Drupal website I am more like to see it.

Hi! Thanks for replying.
It's too late for me to test the fix tonight, but I'll try it tomorrow and report back if I can.

Cheers.

Title:unable install» local email: D6 version required

With the suggested change the module 'installs' without an error, but there is no configuration page for the module, and the email field still displays on the registration page; I don't think the module is working(?).

Joseph, if I paid for you to get this module functioning and stable for D6, would you be able to make some time for it? If so, what would be your price? Email me via the drupal.org contact form if you're interested. Further, assuming we can get this running for D6, in the future could I also pay for a D7 version, if this ability is still not included in the D7 core?

If Joseph is not able to do this, the offer is open to anyone who wants to take over this module. But you'd have to talk to joseph about that first, so he can hand over to someone who he thinks is going to be competent enough.

And if anyone from the DrupalED group is reading this, I think you should take notice of this module. I don't see how Drupal can be used in any educational environment (in which pupils cannot be expected to supply their own personal email addresses) where the school is forced to either:

· give the students their own email address at the school's domain
· run some kind of authentication server for the purpose

This module is 'proof of concept', and I really don't understand why there is no educational developer solving this issue. In trying to develop a school website, you can forget that multi-language doesn't work properly; that it is hellishly difficult to make it easy for users to add multimedia to content; that there is no internal messaging system; that selecting taxonomy on the creation pages is crazy with more than two vocabs and a handful of terms to choose from, etc. These issues pale into insignificance compared to the fact that pupils cannot sign up for an account unless they have an email address.

Cheers.

Fantastic! My offer still stands; I'll donate something toward this module if it can solve the registration issues without causing too many problems with other 'email orientated' modules (ie. allow them to fail gracefully or silently).

Thanks for your work on this.
