AutoEnrol

Hi, probably this is a silly question, but just to be sure. If I don't enable Enrolment duration, the enrolment never expires. Therefore, the functionality "Notify before enrolment expires" will never be implemented, right? Because technically it's possible to configure this functionality and "Notification threshold" when there is no Enrolment duration activated.

Hello, I am getting the following error when trying to add an AutoEnrol enrolment rule to a course on my Moodle 4.0 site.
enrol_plugin::edit_instance_validation() is missing. This plugin has no validation!
line 2473 of /lib/enrollib.php: call to debugging()
line 84 of /enrol/editinstance_form.php: call to enrol_plugin->edit_instance_validation()
line 653 of /lib/formslib.php: call to enrol_instance_edit_form->validation()
line 589 of /lib/formslib.php: call to moodleform->validate_defined_fields()
line 699 of /lib/formslib.php: call to moodleform->is_validated()
line 81 of /enrol/editinstance.php: call to moodleform->get_data()
Did you verify that this plugin works fine on Moodle 4.0?
Installing it works fine, as does enabling it.
Thanks,
Magali

Hello Balthazar,
if guest access is enabled in your course it let to access users without enrol in it. This is how guest access works.
The regular users can click the "Enrol me in this course" link in Administration block or in Moodle 4 secondary navigation to enrol in it with Autoenrol.
If you set a password into guest access settings, guests must type this password to access the course and regular users are autoenrolled without any action.
You can choose the way you prefer.
HTH,
Roberto

Hello Roberto, here is Balthazar again. Don't know why but my previous account was considered as spam.
Update about the situation : there seems to be a conflict between auto-enroll and guest enroll. Whenever i deactivate the guest access, the "enroll on loading course" works again. Is there no way to have thel boith working simultaneously ?
THanks in advance,
B. Tropp.

Hello Roberto, first of all, congratulation, and thank you so much for this plugin, which is a step forward to the Lean moodle we want here.
However, we achieved to set the "enroll on login"option, but we can not the "enroll on loading the course" option work. Maybe we do not have the proper moodle version (using 3.10.2+).
Did you already have such bug ?

Hi,
I'm sorry but you can't add a restriction based on activity in autoenrol.
You need to use something that you can check at category level for example a user profile fields or a course completion.
If you define the course completion based on quiz grade then you can enrol users in another course using the first course completion.
HTH,
Roberto

hi would you please tell me how to use this plugin to restrict students enrollments based on quiz result, as when I added restriction based on quiz grade students could not access quiz as they are not enrolled in course

Hi Damiano,
yes, you can configure a welcome message in autoenrol instance settings.
Roberto

Hi, it is possible to send an automatic welcome email to the course?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm sorry you can't do what you need with autoenrol.
Roberto

I didn't understand fully,
Can someone help me, please?
I need a plugin with such functionality: let's imagine situation when user(that didn't registered to moodle) payed for some course, after filled the main form where user filled email. We have to save this user to our database and send to this email random password, and enroll this user to course.
That's what we want, can this plugin help us?
If not, can someone give an advice for some other plugins?
Thanks)

Hi Pedro,
you can't use "course id".
Admitted placeholder are:
{$a->coursename}
{$a->link}
{$a->fullname}
{$a->profileurl}
{$a->email}
HTH,
Roberto

can we have a list of all placeholders for the emailing in this plugin please? I need the "course id" and I tried all of those possibilities with no result:
{courseid}
{$a->courseid}
%$a->courseid%

Hello Heloisa,
probably you have activated the sync_enrolment task in Server->Scheduled task.
Please leave it disabled, it's available only for particular cases.
HTH,

Hello Roberto Pinna!
I and Henrique Cavet work togheter. I will bring again a doubt about what is happening.
"Hi Henrique,
it depend by how you configure autoenrol and your moodle site. Autoenrol, if configured with enrol at login, will enrol each confirmed user to the course when they successfully login to your site."
We configured the registration to start when there is a login on the site, but after 1 day of the autoenrol configuration, all users with the configured conditions, regardless of whether they entered the platform, were automatically enrolled.
Could you help us as to why this is happening?
Thanks, Heloisa
