Administration tools

This plugin is designed to facilitate bulk duplication or copying of courses within a platform, based on pre-established configurations. It allows administrators to quickly replicate entire courses, including their structure and content, without the need to recreate each course manually.

Process Overview

Upload CSV File: Administrators can upload a CSV file specifying the details of the courses they wish to duplicate.
Validation: After uploading, the plugin performs validations to ensure that only correctly configured courses are duplicated.
Generate Tasks: Once validated, users can generate the respective adhoc tasks with a single click.

Afterward, the cron job or specific launcher for adhoc tasks will handle the rest.

Usage Instructions

Upload a CSV file containing the following fields:

Field	Description
`copyshortname`	Refers to the shortname of the course from which you want to copy.
`fullname`	Is the name or fullname of the new course.
`shortname`	Is the shortname of the new course.
`category`	Is the category id for the new course.
`visible`	Indicates whether the new course should be visible or not. Use 1 for visible, 0 for hidden.
`startdate`	Is the start date of the course, for example: 2024-09-15 15:00:00.
`enddate`	Is the end date of the course, for example: 2024-12-15 15:00:00.

After uploading, a series of validations will be performed.
Click on "Create Tasks" to generate adhoc tasks for copying each of the courses (tasks will only be created for courses that pass validation).
After this, the cron job or dedicated schedulers will take care of completing the process.

Additionally, you can follow the example file already provided.
