Hi U there,
I have the following issue: I have a list of subscribers to an ezine I've been publishing for 2 years. Now, that I passed to manage all my online publishing activities with this loveable moodle system, I want to get all the list uploaded as students, and enrolled automatically into a single course. That way, I'm intending to have them all receiving by e-mail the "updates" of the news forum of that course, that will become the "new version" of the ezine.
I can prepair a flat text file with the users, but I'm afraid of making the operation in 2 steps. If I upload the list and, as second step, I have to enroll them manually into the course, it will become a mess, since I"ll have them merged into the large list of students of some other many areas of my moodle site.
Is there any way to making the operation in one single step.... that is, including in the flat text file anything that tells moodle directly to enroll them into that course?
if not, any other good idea?
thanx to all,
daniEl

Hi Daniel,
Yes, there is a way!
all you need to do is create the course first, give it an ID Number (in this case it is COP101) then create a flat file that looks something like this:
username,password,firstname,lastname,email,course1
jdoe01,foobar,John,Doe,jdoe01@mail.com,COP101
...(more users with the same format).
there are other fields which you can include, such as phone number, ID, mail preferences, more courses to be enrolled (course2,course3,...), and many more.
You should look at the help button inside the "Upload Users" page.
Hope it helps...
Eduardo

Re: upload a list and subscribe it automatically to one course
gracias Eduardo!!!
you might be a spanish speaker, aren't you?
por alguna razón, no me di cuenta.... es maravillosa la cantidad de features que incluye moodle (no me canso de decir que nunca instalé algo tan complejo, y nunca me fue tan fácil instalar algo onserver), y a veces, se me pasan cosas por alto.....
muchísimas gracias.
un abrazo,
