Enrol by user profile fields

Hi Gary,
Thanks for your feedback. Yes this would be possible, but please note that this could have a performance impact, as then all rules would have to be evaluated each time a user updates such a field.
I had to add a feature to optionally disable the processing of all rules at login (see https://github.com/ndunand/moodle-enrol_attributes/commit/f395ff5eebbd), as this had a serious performance impact on our installation. This is due to the fact that we have almost 100k users and some complex enrolment rules – this results in a 100k^n join SQL query (where n is the number of rule components).
Therefore we now rely on the scheduled task, which does process all enrolments every full hour, but you could also change the delay in the Moodle administration setup to make it run more often.

Hi Nicholas - your plugin is working well on our Moodle 3.6. In our case we allow certain users to update their own custom profile field(s) and enrolments take effect on next login. We would like that such changes take immediate effect. I thought that adding an additional array to $observers in db/events.php like
),
array(
'eventname' => '\core\event\user_info_field_updated',
'callback' => 'enrol_attributes_plugin::process_enrolments',
'includefile' => '/enrol/attributes/lib.php',
'internal' => true,
'priority' => 9999,
),
);
but I suspect that is the wrong approach ! Can you offer any suggestions please ?

Thank you. That was what I needed. Is there a how-to guide available that I'm missing as well?

Hi Chad,
You probably have to set at least one custom user profile field (see https://docs.moodle.org/37/en/User_profile_fields), then a new setting would appear in the plugin setting.

I have installed this plugin on our Moodle 3.7 install. I am not sure I am seeing all the options correctly. I can only set the following settings from Dashboard - Site Administration - Plugins - Enrolments - Enrol by user profile fields: Default User, Default behaviour after attributes expiration, and Enrol users immediately at login. I have enabled the plugin, but am not able to choose it as an enrolment method in a quiz.

Don,
Thanks for your feedback.
1. I could not reproduce the problem you mention in your first post.
2. Using SQL, you could use `SELECT * FROM mdl_enrol WHERE enrol = 'attributes' AND courseid = ` to get the values, and then use `INSERT` to insert similar rows for other courses – but there is no easy way to do this. The rule itself is a JSON string contained in the `customtext1` field.

Nicolas, I need to add the exact same enrollment by profile field(s) to a huge list of courses. Any of 3 profile choices using the "or" variable. Is there a cli script or SQL query I could use to populate multiple courses? Wishing I could use it at the Category Enrollment level but I don't see that working

My install was not working, not appearing in Enrolment methods. Solved by removing special characters I had put into the field name. Yes, " / " does mess things up.
I removed the slashes and everything works as hoped. Love this plugin and than you Nicolas

Nicolas, thank you very much for the response! You are right, I didn't check Enrolments page! It works now.

Hi Marta,
You are right about mismatching versions strings, sorry about that. The fact is that the 2018092300 build was previously rated for up to Moodle 3.5 has been checked against Moodle 3.6 and 3.7 and is now tagged as compatible with these versions. This has no impact as to whether the plugin will activate or not on your Moodle version (as long as your Moodle version is higher that version 2.7).
To activate the plugin, go to your Moodle's administration, then to Plugins > Enrolments > Enrol by user profile fields, and there make sure to set the plugin according to your needs.

Hi Nicolas! This sounds like a great plugin, but the zip seems to contain the wrong version.. I'm installing a version with the zip file called "enrol_attributes_moodle37_2018092300", i.e. 2.8 for Moodle 3.5-3.7 (I currently have Moodle 3.6), but when it gets installed and I go to plugin overview, it shows "2.8 for Moodle 2.7-3.5 (build 2018092300)" installed. It is disabled with no possibility of enabling. I opened version.php and it indeed has $plugin->release = '2.8 for Moodle 2.7-3.5 (build 2018092300)';. Could you advice on where I could download the correct version? Thanks!

Hi German,
There are some mandatory settings in the Moodle administration, under Plugins > Enrolments > Enrol by user profile fields. In particular, even if you leave all other fields to their default values, you have to set the "Profile fields to be used in the selector" field for the plugin to work.

Hi Nicolas,
I have installed this module in Moodle 3.6 and enabled it, but can't find any place where I can configure the enrollment instances. Even inside my courses I can't add this enrollment method. What should I check to have it working?

Hi Nicolas, and thank you for what seems to be a great plugin.
Is there a plan to expand on the validation of the user? Because it's is just a little bit simplistic with just an equals.
For example, my users have the option to register their company name on their profile, and I would like to grant them access to certain courses if they have.
So in the user profile fields rules I would like to have 'orgno' not null and 'orgno' > 0. Today all I can do is check for 'orgno' = XXXX.
But in my case all users have different values in that field.

agree with Rolf. by the way . nice feature.
