When a user is already enrolled in a course by the 'Self Enrolment' method, the user is re-enrolled in the same course when they login after 'Auto Enrolement' is activated.

When setting a course to auto enrol with activity access as trigger, it asks for guest access needed to work. Guest access without key would make the plugin useless, with key it asks for the key and no auto enrol happens.

How can I achieve this behavior:

• Auto enrol enabled for a specific course (with only textpage checked, alternatively Link/URL)
• Auto enrol should happen when entering a link to a textpage / Link/URL within that course
• Users cannot enrol in the couse without knowing that they need to enter a link to an existing textpage / Link/URL

(using Moodle 3.5)

Hi

I installed this plugin and got the following error:
"Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Block type admin has been disabled by the administrator"

This is when a learner logs in for the first time and views the course.

Can you please assist?

When auto enrollment method is configured for Course view, guests are being allowed to enter the course even if guest access is not enabled on the course. In the Enrollment methods screen, it lists 1 user as being enrolled via auto enrollment plugin, even though no users appear in the list of enrolled users. I'm assuming the one is the guest account.

This is problematic if you only want your course catalog to be visible to the public but want users to have to login before they can access the courses.

If you have a course with both auto-enrol and guest access enabled.

The auto-enrol plugin does not enrol authenticated users.

As soon as Guest access is removed it enrols as expected. Is it possible to allow authenticated users (who are not guest) to be enrolled on a course when viewing even though Guest access is enabled?

This would allow institutions to monitor which authenticated users have accessed the course and would be useful from a statistical standpoint.

Thank you

Kind regards

Connor

The allow_manage function always returns true, Why are the enrol/auto:manage capability settings not used?

After loading and enabling the enrolment method, and then adding it to a course, there is no option to delete the method from a course.

Using version: 2017091400 on Moodle 3.4

The issue is the latest version of the Plugin doesnt work well with Moodle 3.6 which is my production site.I am aware of the fact that the latest plugin released is for Moodle 3.5 and there are no description of support for Moodle 3.6.

If this problem persists for everyone then May I know the approximate Date of release for Moodle 3.6 ?
else let me know and I will let you know a detailed report of the problem which i facce when I use it in Moodle 3.6.

Problem : Table preferences which lists the users enrolled doesnt show up.

Really like this plugin, thanks for creating it.

One aspect that would improve it for us would be an option to enrol into groups within a course page? Thus automating that aspect also.

Cheers,

Hello,

I would like to see an feature that enrols users to a course X when they receive course or activity completion from course Y.

I wanted to suggest that like the self-enrollment method, that enrol_auto should optionally allow the enrollment to expire after X amount of days. Could be used in many use-cases I think.

A useful feature could be to target user profile attributes.

Our scenario is that we have user accounts with email address as username (two domains - staff and student) and we'd like to have the ability to automatically enrol our staff onto certain Moodle courses - courses such as fire awareness and manual handling training.

We may, also, like to enrol all our students onto a general VLE feedback course that would contain various activities or resources.

In 3.1.2 latest I am getting a 'File not found' error when trying to manually unenrol a user as Teacher in the usual way.

It is looking for the file enrol/auto/editenrolment.php which is not in the install package or git.

This file is referenced and called from line 330 of lib.php at:

$url = new moodle_url('/enrol/auto/editenrolment.php', $params);

The Auto Enrollment Plugin for moodle soesnt support the Moodle 3.6.

Sometimes you want to open a course up for a certain group of users - rather than just allowing everyone on the site to enrol in a course - adding a new "selfenrol" capability at the course category context level would help with this.

(Patch incoming)

I this plugin was working fine until the other day after upgrading to Moodle Version 4.0.5 (Build: 20221114)

Now it will not enroll learners on 'Loading a Course'

Can you please have a look as we find this plugin very useful.

Hi,
we would like to keep on using this plugin for our Totara customers, but at this point we can not use it after an upgrade. Is there any plan to adjust this for the newer Totara / PHP versions?
Thanks!

Hi,
I translated all the text strings of the plugin enrol_auto for the german lang pack. I found that the privacy message is missing. Do you think that you uploaded the latest version into the Moodle plugin database?
$string['privacy:metadata'] = 'The auto enrolment plugin does not store any personal data.';

For example using Auto-enrolment on seminar activity...

If four seminar sessions are displayed on the course page, clicking 'Go to Event' delivers a message saying you are not enrolled in this course. If 'View All Events' is clicked (instead of 'Go to Event') the person is auto-enrolled. We now have text telling people to click 'View All Events' however we continue to get messages telling us they can't enrol - especially with multiple events and sessions. People miss the text directions.

This will be easy to check/replicate.

Hello, first of all thanks for the plugin! It is really helpful for us. :)
When I set up the autoenrollment with the course view criterium it perfectly works: users enter the course and get enrolled in it.
Unluckily I found an issue with the autoenrollment upon activity/resource view: even if the users have the link to the specific activity (and not the all course), they cannot visualize it because they are not enrolled.
Is there something that I am missing in the settings?

Thanks for your attention!

Testing with Moodle 3.5.1 and the latest release of the official Moodle mobile app (version code 3510 on Android 8.1.0), if a user goes to 'Site home' -> 'Available courses', the user is automatically enrolled on all courses that have an enabled instance of the enrol_auto method. I've only had chance to debug this so far and it may well be caused by a bug in Moodle core and/or the mobile app, but it seemed sensible to report it here as you have the greatest interest in getting it fixed.

It seems that the 'Site home' -> 'Available courses' page calls core_course_get_courses_by_field() (get_courses_by_field() in course/externallib.php) with no params, which fetches all courses from the database and then iterates through them doing various checks. One of these checks is \external_api::validate_context, which seems to be the source of the trouble (presumably because it calls require_login() for the course). This enrols the user on the course and even logs an access in the course log.

Hi,

Is there any plan to keep this plugin updated to current supported Moodle versions, 3.9, 3.8, etc?

Thanks
Beni

Currently it's hardcoded to not auto enrol admins, but would be nice to have it as a configurable setting.

I have just installed this on ver 3.6.3, added a method to a course, set it to autoenrol on enter course.
I have tried numerous times as a user to enrol in the course and it doesn't seem to work.
the user can view the course but are not enrolled so their progress is not tracked.
what am I doing wrong?
I had this working on a 2.6 moodle with no problem

It is impossible to remove auto-enrol method from course. There is no bin icon to do it.

GDPR regulation starts soon.
