Auto assign cohort (deprecated for local_cohortauto)

I added the line:
require_once($CFG->dirroot.'/user/profile/lib.php');
at the vry beginning of auth/mcae/auth.php
and it works now!

PS the code was added at the very beginning of the file.

Hello,
I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function profile_load_data() in [...]/auth/mcae/auth.php on line 227
with moodle 2.2+ and the decaf theme.
A stated in the readme file, in moodle/themes/decaf/layout/general.php, I added the code <?php
global $SESSION, $USER;
if ($USER->id != 0) { // Only for autenticated users
$mcae = get_auth_plugin('mcae'); //Get mcae plugin
if (isset($SESSION->mcautoenrolled)) {
if (!$SESSION->mcautoenrolled) {
$mcae->user_authenticated_hook($USER,$USER->username,""); //Autoenrol if mcautoenrolled FALSE
}
} else {
$mcae->user_authenticated_hook($USER,$USER->username,""); //Autoenrol if mcautoenrolled NOT SET
}
}
?>
Please help!

The plugin pulls data from the tables mdl_user and mdl_user_info_data
I use user upload function to create or update user accounts and http://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=local_user_bulk_editor to create cohorts

Is there anyway to pull the cohorts from the enrollment table? I am confused by creating custom fields in the profile for what is already course and role - how do you populate these fields? Do you link them to the course enrollment table?

Hi Andrew, we're interested in creating cohorts from our 2000+ users based on their country, but using this to actually assign them to a group in each course so instructors can followup on student progress country by country. Is this something which your plugin can help in doing?

Hey Andrew,
Okay so i installed the plug in and it works great! Except that it only works after the second log in. I saw in the read me for us to insert a .php coding into the server to possibly fix this problem? We tried that and it did not work. Is there a specific place we have to put that coding in or do we just insert it anywhere?
also by anychance would you know how to edit the email confirmation message moodle sends when a new user registers via email?
Any help would be great thank you!

I can not reproduce this error.
