Hi,
I'm looking for a way to remove the "enrol me"-button for self enrolment.
Students should be able to just click on a course and enrolment should take place automatically without the need to click a button.
I tried to add a automatic submit after a timeout to the moodle\enrol\self\locallib.php, but I couldn't figure out how.
Any ideas?
Christoph
Hello Christoph,
In the settings you can set a course as not enrolable. Then the only problem is customizing the message "This course is not enrollable at the moment" with something that you want instead.
Make a copy of the following file. A backup copy is helpful because it often takes several attempts to get the edits to work properly.
public_html/moodle/lang/en_utf8/moodle.php
(1) Replace “This course requires an enrollment key...from teacher” as follows
REPLACE THIS:
$string['enrolmentkeyfrom'] = 'This course requires an \'enrolment key\' - a one-time<br />
password that you should have received from $a'
WITH THIS:
$string['enrolmentkeyfrom'] = '<b>You Do Not Have Access to These Course Resources</b><br />Visit the [ <a href=\"http://www.moodle.org/something\">for additional help</a> ].'
where "moodle.org/something" is intended only as a placeholder for whatever site you want to use.
Sorry I used the wrong "REPLACE" $string.
Use this one
REPLACE THIS:
$string['notenrollable'] = 'This course is not enrollable at the moment.'
Hello Timothy,
thanks for your response! But it seems, that my description was a little bit misleading. I want to achieve just the opposite of what you described.
Our students are free to use any course whenever they want. I want them to be able to enrol to a course without clicking any button. A student should just click on the name of the course and be automatically enrolled. I want to make the it as easy to use as possible.
Hmmm. I guess I have three options for you depending on what you want:
1. Do not define an enrollment key, and then everyone will have access, or
2. Do what I said before, but specifically "assign role" to every student to have access to every course.
3. You also could create a new "role" called "enrolled in everything" and then define it to have full access to every course. Then link every student to that role.
PS, the good news is that your post caused me to finally figure out what I had been trying to figure out for the longest time. So, thank you for posting. (smile)
Thanks for the tipps, but I would like to avoid the global roles. I'm afraid that they haunt me in the future...
I can see two problems with your suggestions:
1.) The mymoodle page with the courses of the user would be rather confusing, as he would see all courses
2.) If there are announcements forums with mandatory subscription in a course, all users would receive all those mail notifications.
So I guess I have to continue my search...
PS: Glad you found a solution for your problem
ok, it seems, that I found kind of a solution for this.
I edited the file: moodle/enrol/self/lib.php
This contains a function called enrol_page_hook.
It seems, that - among other things - this function checks if a form was submitted or not.
So I tried to find the if-statements that made the difference and change them to if(true).
I changed this:
// if ($instance->id == $instanceid) {
if (true) {
// if ($data = $form->get_data()) {
if (true) {
To be honest, I don't completly understand what those if-statements are doing, but if I force the script to enter this block, a user is enrolled to a course without having to click the "enrol me"-button.
I guess it will have a few other side effects which I haven't discovered yet
Maybe somebody can help me with the fine tuning?
Hi Julia,
so far I've had no problem with the hack.
But I also have to admit, that my system doesn't have much load yet.
