@Francis Seems to work in 2.6
Does anyone know if it's possible to manually add people to a cohort created with this plugin? I'd like to add previous users that joined before adding the plugin who may not sign in.

Is this plugin compatible with Moodle 2.6 ?

Hi, Andrew. To remove the warning update plugin from github.

Hi Andrew, in the php log of Moodle 2.6, I get the following PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in www\auth\mcae\auth.php on line 314. Although the warning presents no problem that I can see, would the following being added before 314 work to remove the warning?
if (!isset($SESSION))
$SESSION= new stdClass();
Thanks, Andrew

okay. So I have this plugin working on Moodle 2.7.
however, for now, i'm stuk with the following:
I want to give people the option, to use checkboxes as customprofilefield.
1 have to options: option1 and option2.
my main template lines are
%profile_field_option1
%profile_field_option2
even when just 1 checkbox is checked, student comes into 2 cohorts....
what do I miss here? since checkboxes returns 0's and 1's... where should I add the "1" ?

Can we have a "%description"? I didn't find description, but description, but I want to create cohort based on %description-%departement. is It possible?

Hi, I think this module could really be useful, but I can't figure out the syntax. All I want to do is to enrol students in a cohort according to a profile field. Let's say field Program = Science. Then, all users having science would be enroled in the Science cohort.

At what point does this gets done? At login or at signup or at course access?

Does anyone use this plugin with mnet ? It works great for all other authentication methods but with mnet it doesn't seem to be called when the user logs in ?

Great job on this plugin! It works great as long as I log into moodle directly. I'm using Drupal-Moodle SSO for most of my end users, however. Is there a way have Moodle authentiate through Drupal Service, and then still auto enrol the user into a cohort?
