Hi,

- Is is possible to use a flat file (i.e. CSV file or other format) to perform bulk course creation and deletion ?

- I see that a flat file can be used to perform bulk user creation/deletion. But, I also see bulk course management as a necessary first step before I can proceed to perform bulk enrollment activities using a flat file ...

Regards,
Michel

Sort of. You'd have to feed it to a routine that calls coursecreate.php manually (just write an interface to it, or look at http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=27333)

Hi Peter,

- Thank you for taking the time to reply.

- Where can I find coursecreate.php ? I have looked in server/moodle/admin with no avail ?

- In addition, must I absolutely use an external utility like PhpMyAdmin in order to run the PHP script ? ... I ask because though I am now using MySQL as a database back-end, I would really eventually move my data to Oracle. Hence, I do not believe PhpMyAdmin would be usable then.

Michel
