Coupon

I tried to install Version 4.3, but got an error: Fehler in der Kodierung gefunden, den nur Programmierer/innen korrigieren können: Incorrect syntax in plugin supported declaration in coupon. I am stuck, can't stop the upgrading process.

Hello all,
Right before the holidays, there's a MASSIVE new release.
Hopefully most important bugs were tackled, although focus was more on changing the configuration process as a result of adding PDF templating. This required us to redesign the configuration process of generating the coupons.
Most important change: there's now a templating engine for the PDF's.
This is also where one of our other plugins finally becomes very usefull (https://moodle.org/plugins/tool_tcpdffonts, which provides an interface for PDF font management).
@pascal: there are more changes at hand for the coming year and we'll take this wish into account (among others: providing the QR and code in emails when applicable and the PDF options are not used).
Also, we're working towards the concept of the much requested "campaigns" where one code serves _many_ users. Currently this is not possible due to the database structure, but we hope to add this next year.
And if that wasn't enough, we're going to release a few plugins that rely on this one but makes life easier for administrators (and better be able to incorporate codes into the user signup process or places where a code can be entered/claimed)
Cheers!

Hi! Awesome plugin!
When i generate the PDF files...I can scan the QR with my phone and immediatly create a new account and also enroll.
Is there a way to add a LINK besides the QR so that laptop users do not have to scan the QR with their phone? The instructions only redirect to moodle login.

We do have the same problem under 4.0.7 (Build: 20230401) - Added although on the tracker

Claimed by - col is empty after update to Moodle Workplace 4.1.1+ (Build: 20230130) (Moodle 4.1.1 (Build: 20230116)) - I have made an issue in the Bug tracker.

Hi there,
Is it possible to enroll a course which has paypal attached with coupon? I'm trying to enroll a free course it works, but when it comes to purchase course, it won't work?
Greetings!

Hi. We have multiple groups for a single course and each group has a non-editing teacher. We generate the coupons and deliver them to the teachers to deliver them to their students. Is it possible to allow the teachers to generate their own coupons or create enrollment links for their own students? They shouldn't see the other generated, used, or unused coupons. They should see used/unused coupons they created. Thank you.

@Marcelle,
You are correct in your understanding.
It may be implemented at some later stage, but that may take a while (it's been requested multiple times but it'd involve a complete database overhaul so it's quite the job).
Cheers

Hi Rogier
This is an awesome plugin and very useful to as as we run multiple campaigns for our clients. Am I correct in my understanding that a single voucher with multiple uses cannot be generated at this stage? E.g. We want to run a campaign where we send an email to 5000 clients and say that the first 100 to use the same voucher code will be enrolled onto a course for free. If this is not an option at the moment, is this something you think may be implemented at some stage?

@J.F.
Please view our public repositories. In the week before Christmas a new plugin has been made available (2, actually) that are related to coupon and can or should aid in resolving your issue.
They haven't been made available to the Moodle plugin directory yet but should be available from moodle.org in the (near) future.
If you have any questions regarding usage or installation please ask (or file an issue in the dedicated issue tracker).
Cheers

@J.F.
Unfortunately, not resolved.
Having said that, I've started on a specific plugin that will resolve your issue once and for all with a "correct" scope (more targeted towards a non hack-ish way). The idea is fairly simple and I sincerely hope to be able to push this to our repositories the week before Christmas (having it added here in the plugin directory is of a later concern so it would only be available from the repository until it'll be added here).
Thanks for your patience!
Cheers

@Rogier:
Is in the latest version my problem solved?
I am having some problems with your solution because I have less experience with coding. So I don't know exactly what to write inside the config.php. Next, I already have the signup.php inside the location.
Simply adding the redirect line in the existing signup.php brought no solution.
Thanks for your time and response!!!

@aziz
Could you describe more of the issue, preferably in the tracker?
Please include version, screenshots, workflow (steps to reproduce), whether or not you may have changed the codebase and all possible other information?
Using the latest version, I cannot reproduce the fact coupon codes would remain unclaimed or in any way disappear from view.
Cheers

@aziz:
Is it the same problem with the enrollment described by me in the posts at the 17th of August and 5th of October?

Hi. After installing the update, we are not able to see who claimed the used keys anymore. There is a column for it, but it's empty. Also, sometimes students are not able to enroll with the key. When we check it, it seems it's not used but the system doesn't let them enroll automatically. Please help. Thank you.
