Moodle in English: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

by Flotter Totte - Monday, 31 October 2011, 3:46 PM

Hi all,

we are in the process in finalizing the "Enrolemtn upon approval" plugin.

The process is designed as follows:

1. user applies for enrolment

2. amdin approves enrolment application (or cancels it)

3. user gets informed about admin's action by mail

4. after admin has approved, user can enter course.

If someone is interested in helping to test the plugin, please let me know and I will reply with the plugin attached. It would be also great if someone who knows moodle programing conventions well could taka a look and feedback us if all is complient. So far I do not want to publish it, and finish testing first.

If you havent activated or assigned the enrol plugin you need to do it first.

Go to your course and search under users for the enrollment options (im not sure about the path in english), its easy to find.

There you can add and activate more enrollment profiles, add this one and activate it. It should work fine.

Hope it helps.

Hi Vivek Vetri,

sorry for my late reply.

As muff stuff writes, to make the plugin work, you first must activated it on site level.

Then you also must enable it on course level.

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

by Hal MacLean - Saturday, 19 May 2012, 6:12 AM

Hi Flotter - thank you for writing this plug in... I have a small feature suggestion.

When a student wishes to enrol, there ought to be an optional text entry field that they can fill in to explain why they need to do the course.

The situation is for when a course contains licensed material that has a limited number that can be deployed. The admin can then control access to the course a little more.

Also, it would be really good if the course enrolment notified a third party email as well - for example a student wishes to enrol in a course following a review of their progress by a tutor who manages their learning, but does not teach the course. The tutor can receive a notification that the student has enrolled and is accepted onto the course.

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

by Hal MacLean - Saturday, 19 May 2012, 6:25 AM

Also, the admin interface ought to be in the enrolled users page - a button or link which opens a list view of who has requested enrolment and the reason given by them for this. Checkbox selection of those to be either accepted or rejected, which then sends off an email to advise them (and any third party included).

OR, the list of users in the enrolled users page should filter when the enrolment method is selected, giving a list view that can be managed more easily. The current way of managing the enrolment request is a little too buried away.

Please keep this plugin updated - it's a really valuable addition.

Oh - I use v2.1, and am happy to test this further with you. The plugin installed fine, no errors, and appears to work as planned so far.

Hi Hal,

thanks for your supportive comments!

Regarding your suggestion to put the applications into the 'enrolled users' page: the problem is that we would need to change coded outside of the plugin (ie in the moodle core code).

Greetings,

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

by Flotter Totte - Monday, 21 May 2012, 11:39 AM

Currently the plan for the future is:

1. Write clear installation and usage instructions

2. Get the module into the moodle plugin db

3. Development: have one list with all courses including related users and let for example the admin approve/reject all applications

4. Development: embed it into a hierarchystrucutre (especially useful if used in an corporate enviroement). Then, the direct manager will see all applications of the own team and can approve. Bevore this can start we must investigate whether there is already a plugin or something to manage hierarchy structures and make this enrolment plugin compatible to it

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

by Hal MacLean - Monday, 21 May 2012, 5:06 PM

Thanks for that, Flotter - I understand.

However, it should be possible to create a page within the plugin that creates a view of who has enrolled with checkboxes to manage the requests and link to this from somewhere, like the request page *if* editing is turned on?

Do you think the text area idea might be added, too? This would be a superb addition.

Hi Hal,

thanks for your comments.

I have now submitted the plugin to the official plugin DB. Now waiting for approval.

What we did not so far is to create good documentation for installation and usage. Also we need to improve the language (so far it is non-native English). If you or anyone wants support us in this, please let me know

After these basic things are realized we will look into your development suggestions. Other suggestions also welcome

If you have an urgent, specific request please let me know and we will try to organize development (but we would need to charge this).

Thanks for all your support!

In this list of the enrolled users in the course, the role of the enrolment is not established.

That there appears a row before approved might be not a bug. If a user applies, she is already enrolled, jsut without any role assignement. The role assignment gets added after approval. Let me know what you think of it. We also will check this part.

I believe could be confuse show the users in the list of participants before be approved, may be using other table to aprove or decline each request could be useful.

About the role, I believe it doesn't appear because there isn't a row associated in the table "mdl_role_assignment"

How to approve applications:

Go to your course and in the settings go to:

Users --> Enrolment Methods

In the page which opens now, click on the first icon in the row of the plugin (please see the screenshot).
There you find the list with all users who applied for the course.

Hope it helped,

I've just installed and configured this plugin on moodle 3.5, but when I try to assign "course enrol confirmation" as enrollment rule in a course the system gives me an Internal server error:

"Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.it to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log."

Can you help me?

Thank you

Daniele

Dear all,

I want to share the good news with you that the plugin has been approved by Anthony from moodle.org

You can find it here: http://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=enrol_apply

From now on you can find latest versions there.

Please note that during the last 2 weeks at that place was an outdated version (as updates took place here in the forum). So in case you downloaded the plugin during this time there, please update it.

Thanks for all your comments! Please keep posting bugs and suggestions!

Flotter

From now on, I will allways

hi! Very useful plugin, thanks! I'd like to know how could I make this enrolment option default for every new course.

This is: Whenever I create a course, I have to go to Settings -> Course administration -> Users -> Enrolment Methods and add a new instance of Course Enrol Confirmation so that the Enrol Me button appears to the students.

Is there a way to do this by default on every new course? thanks!

Hi Flotter,

Thanks for developing this plugin.

I was wondering if there would be any way of making it so that when the admin confirms the enrolments on to the course he/she can select what role to give the selected users on that course?

As I think this could be useful not only for enrolling students but also for staff - lecturers and course administrators etc

Hi Flotter,

I just downloaded your plugin to my Moodle/enrol folder. Ran it and enabled it in the site plugins section and in a course. It seems to look and work okay from the administrator's view except I cannot see the button or text where the user can apply to enrol. I assumed it would be an icon or text by the course title on the home page or My Moodle page where the courses are listed, as it is for other enrolment methods like Paypal or self enrolment. But I cannot see anything.

Probably something I am doing. Any ideas?

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

by Geoff Waring - Friday, 9 November 2012, 11:36 AM

I just found the solution. Instead of an icon on the course name, you have to be on the site home page (rather than the My Home page) and at the bottom there is a button that says "Search courses" and one beside it that says "All courses". When I clicked the "All courses" button, the full list of courses came available and at the bottom of the list was a button that said "Request a course". When I enter there it shows a page where you can request a course. I hope this helps others see the user's perspective.

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

by Geoff Waring - Friday, 9 November 2012, 2:37 PM

Correction to the above. The above process is not the solution. It is to request a new course, not to request enrolment. To request enrolment you have to click on the company name on the list of courses and hit the "enrol me" button. The user then has a request to be added. The administrator must then go to the enrolment method in the course (under users) and confirm they are allowed in. Geoff

You could check every week.

Joking

I understand you problem. The current status of the plugin works fine if there is a fixed starting date/ enrolemtn deadline. Then you just check and approve once.

The current situation is, that all course applications of all courses are shown in one table which can be accessed by the admin who also can approve/cancel.

I will put

- notifications in case of application

- course specific application process

into the dev. roadmap.

Thanks Flotter. That would be useful as it is impractical for me to use unless either the teacher or administrator is notified a student has asked for approval. Apart from that it appears to work well. The only little bug I could find was on one course (but not others), the "enrol me" button asking for approval was repeated twice vertically. Not sure why it did it for one course only but will see if I do something in the course to make it appear once. Cheers, Geoff

Re: How to add a description to the plugin

Flotter,

i found a solution, but it is a ruthless hack with a modification of standard code and not save for updates.

So no recommendation from my side to do the same. If anyone is so dodgy to try my hack, please save copies of the edited file for future upgrades.

Anyway: Basically I wanted a text to be displayed right above your subscribe button. So I did this:

Go to folder /enrol and open the index.php
Go to line 92 in the code. You find a foreach expression foreach ($forms as $form) {...}
Replace this whole expression with code as follows

foreach ($forms as $form) {
$check= strpos($form, "enrol_apply_enrol_form");
if ($check > 0)
  {
   echo "YOUR TEXT GOES HERE";
  }
    echo "<p>".$form."</p>";
$ausgabe = "";

Replace YOUR TEXT GOES HERE with HTML code you want to be displayed.
Enjoy your solution
Be ashamed of your miserable change of standard code

Cheers,

Andreas

Re: How to add a description to the plugin

by Michael Zehr - Tuesday, 23 April 2013, 4:13 AM

I believe I'm understanding the question, to have a description on the enrol page when using the enrol_apply plugin.

If so, better is to go to enrol/apply/locallib.php, to the function definition(). In my verion go to line 60, but add something like:

$mform->addElement('html', '<BR>This is a test<BR>');

Even better, change the second parameter to a "get_string" call, and create the string in lang/xx/enrol_apply.php, but I'm not far enough along in my own understanding to give fully debugged example of that.

Even more better, is change the edit form so when you configure the plugin for that course you can change the text... but I'm even farther away from figuring that one out.

I might be there in a week and will try to update, in the meantime let me know if the above met your needs, or if anyone reading has a better understanding of the system than I do and can correct any of my mistakes, please do so.

Below is what the enrol page looks like with the code I posted above:

Re: How to add a description to the plugin

by Michael Zehr - Tuesday, 23 April 2013, 7:53 AM

Followup question:

I've figured out how to add either an instance setting variable or an overall configuration setting variable (the former edit_form.php and the latter by editing settings.php, then in locallib.php getting the $DB and getting the config records, following examples in other files).

But it occurred to me that configuration strings (including the confirm and cancel email) aren't language dependent, since they aren't in the lang/xx/enrol_apply.php file.

I'm not sure how I would make them language-dependent.

For my purposes I could probably override them on a per-instance basis, since each of our courses will have a single language. I believe this would mean that edit and edit_form would need to have additional textarea controls, with a default equal to the configuration value read from the database, and then the action code (sending the confirm or cancel email) would have to pull from the instance variables. But I might be getting past what I can do. Any suggestions welcome.

Maybe I have an out of date version (running on 2.2), but when I installed the plugin it didn't have that feature.

There weren't a lot of changes required to get it to work, and mostly it could be copied from the self enrolment plugin:

add two fields to the admin UI in settings.php (one for defaultenrol, one for status) and then implement add_default_instance($course) in lib.php. I'm pretty sure it only has to save the status field (and again, look at self enrolment plugin for it's implementation of add_default_instance as a template, but drop the other fields.

Lastly if it's being added automatically you might want to be able to edit the plugin instance within the course, although at the moment the only things to edit are the instance name and whether it is enabled or not. To do that add the edit icon to the list in lib.php:get_action_icons. (I checked for capability enrol/manual:manage in the context before showing that icon, but that might not be the best approach.)

I can supply some code fragments if needed, though if an update to the enrol plugin has this feature already, then of course use that, and my apologies for taking up your time.

Code diffs from enrol_apply_moodle23_20120716 for adding ability to make this enrol plugin included for new courses: (sorry if I'm not inserting code the proper way -- let me know if I should do something different)

in enrol/apply/lib.php, insert at line 80:

/**
* Add new instance of enrol plugin with default settings.
* @param object $course
* @return int id of new instance
*/
public function add_default_instance($course) {

$fields = array('status' => $this->get_config('status'), 1);

return $this->add_instance($course, $fields);
}

Note: not clear if the default of "1" is needed or desired.

In enrol/apply/settings.php, insert at line 8:

// MJZ: added to allow making it part of every new course

$settings->add(new admin_setting_configcheckbox('enrol_apply/defaultenrol',
get_string('defaultenrol', 'enrol'), get_string('defaultenrol_desc', 'enrol'), 1));

// MJZ: added because status is needed during default enrol
$options = array(ENROL_INSTANCE_ENABLED => get_string('yes'),
ENROL_INSTANCE_DISABLED => get_string('no'));
$settings->add(new admin_setting_configselect('enrol_apply/status',
get_string('status', 'enrol_apply'), get_string('status_desc', 'enrol_apply'), ENROL_INSTANCE_DISABLED, $options));

This code was copied from the self enrol plugin.

I did one more thing, though I'm not sure it's necessary. I enabled the edit button for managing enrolment methods. This would allow someone with the proper capability to turn off the plugin without removing it from the course.

This has been lightly tested and works on my system, but has gone through code review or anything like that. Feel free to make suggestions. I had made some other changes to plugin for local use, but I'm pretty sure I got the diffs down to just those you need for to include it as default.

Might be a problem with this, I'm trying to confirm and also develop a fix. If the plugin is included automatically in a new course, the default roleid to use to enrol students might not be set, so users are enrolled with no role. Might also be a side effect of some other changes I made, but if you're using the code I posted above, manually check the users roles in the course after approving the enrolment application.

I recently installed the plugin "Apply". I'm using this with an enrollment plugin "meta link" (meta courses). I had problems because at the time the option is displayed to confirm the registration of users in the course, users are shown for all courses of the site. Not only did the course I'm referring to. This occurs even when I use a user (not administrator) with the role of teacher. Is there any configuration I have to do to manage the registrations only from users who are connected to the two courses I'm using ("with meta link")?

The administrator can configure for teachers and managers can view and confirm only users and courses to which they are involved?

For your consideration as you plan future changes, we prefer being able to see all courses.

My client runs a number of courses simultaneously several times a year and wants to balance registration between classes where possible, so we're asking students to apply for a first and second choice. By having all of them on one screen the registrar can make easier decisions about how to confirm enrollments.

It seems we should now care a bit more/ coordinate that current usages are not disturbed by future development. So in case there will be funding for making course applications I will take your current usage into account.

This is a feature we would use as well, but not quite at the level of importance that I've tried to write this myself. (We have a semester coming up, but I'll probably tackle this enhancement between semesters if it isn't going to be part of the next plugin version.)

This plugin is becoming strategic for my client, so I'd be willing to help out on testing, or even coding if that's something you want to coordinate (although, as I hinted, I don't have a lot of time over the next couple of months).

As for the request, putting the textarea up on the enrol screen probably isn't that hard, but I'd guess that the poster wants the students text entry to also be visible on the "manage plugin" screen that approves the enrolments for the courses. That probably would require a screen layout change to allow enough space to display. (Although if it could be done as a roll-over or pop-up window the original approval layout doesn't have to change that much.)

I am happy to integrate your plugin enhancements. I will quickly put latest version on github and let you know as soon as it is done. Could you then add your enhancements there? I would then take a look and integrate it.

I think it is great that the plugin is used by so many users and that now even people contribute to the further development of it (either with code/translation or money).

Regarding the requirement discussed above (the one of which you said is not very important to you but you might do the development): I have sent a mail to all users who I know and asked to support development. So far there was no reply. Please let me know as soon as you start also working on this.

All the best,

Flotter

Greetings,

how is the avaibility with moodle 2.5? I'm running it and have some minor difficulties, but I'm unsure whether it's moodle 2.5 or joomdle 0.92 related.

When I try to use enrolment upon approval as only method, i can't choose to enroll in that course. after i set an alternative enrolment (e.g. self), i'm able to choose. but before there isn't a enroll me button in the course and there isn't a option in the course administration (registered user lvl).

another idea/question: how difficult would it be to design a more complex layer of approval, e.g. three different steps in order to finally approve a request?

thumbs up for the good work!

The plugin works fine with moodle 2.5

Regarding your question of multiple approval. This should be no big problem. What kind of process do you have in mind? (who should approve first, who second, etc.)

Hello Flotter Totte,

regarding the missing self enrollment option: are you able to understand this problem? Or should i describe it more?

multi approval: until now the enrolment upon approval aims for direct administration, but i thought about a multi layered hierarchy, e.g. chief of local department, then human ressources and at last the responsable training manager.

i'm working on a test version for an intern training site (as part of my studium), so a business kind of view is the way to go.

edit: chief of local department would be linked to the departnent of the enrolling user, HR and TM would be fixed. i thought about building sql tables and get_resulting the recipients

I tried the following on my moodle 2.5.1 install:

In a course, enabled enrolment upon approval and disabled all other enrolment method. Enabling/disabling via the eye button. Then I logged in as student and could enrol myself (via enrolment upon approval) without any problem.

Not sure if you have a similar situation and yes, if you could explain it in more detail might be helpful. Maybe also some screenshots.

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

by Thomas Forsberg - Friday, 13 September 2013, 4:25 PM

I have tried to look into it myself, my SLQ knowledge is somewhat limited.I have found that the problem is related to lib.php and the line:

$role = $DB->get_record_sql('select * from '.$CFG->prefix.'role where archetype="student" limit 1');

First I got the error Incorrect syntax near 'limit'

The LIMIT statement does not exist in MSSQL, so I changed it to:

 $role = $DB->get_record_sql('select top 1 * from '.$CFG->prefix.'role where archetype="student"');

This got away with this error, but it introduced a new:

Invalid column name 'student'

This is where I am stuck right now. I am waiting to get credentials from the client to get access directly to the database server , but if anyone has suggestions I would really appreciate any help.

Problem solved. The last problem (see above) was because double quotes has a special meaning in MSSQL. So by switching between double and single quotes, it now works on MS SQL with the following line:

$role = $DB->get_record_sql("select top 1 * from ".$CFG->prefix."role where archetype='student'");

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

by Francisco Fumero - Monday, 9 December 2013, 6:38 AM

Hello everybody,

I have a problem regarding "meta link" enrolment and this plugin. I have two courses, one is the meta course and the other one is the child course. In the meta course I set this plugin as the enrolment method. In the child course I set "Course meta link" as the enrolment method, pointing to the meta course.

When a student apply for the meta course, and I confirm the request, he appears as enrolled in both courses (in the admin view of the courses): in the meta course, he is enrolled through this plugin; in the child course, he is enrolled through the "course meta link" plugin. But, in fact, he can only access the meta course, not the child one. Even the meta course is only the course that appears in his profile.

This works fine using the manual enrolment and the same configuration of meta - child. It also works well if I enrol the student manually using that option of this plugin.

Any ideas on this?

Thank you very much in advance.

Greetings,

Fran

I recently installed the 'Enrolment upon approval' plugin (downloaded from https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=enrol_apply) and it works fine except that nor the admin user nor the teacher receive an email notification when a user tries to enrol.

If I understood it well the admin user always should receive an email notification and the teacher should receive one when 'send email notification to teacher' is checked (what I did).

If I (as admin user) approve or reject an enrolment request the user does receive an email, so that part seems to be working. I am using moodle v2.2.

Any idea what is going wrong?

Many thanks in advance, Rik

Hi Flotter,

There is an error when student applies for course approval:

My moodle version is 2.6. Database is postgreSQL.

Debug info: ERROR: column "student" does not exist
LINE 1: select * from mdl_role where archetype="student" limit 1

Column "student" does exist. There is no error when I run the SQL statement:

select * from mdl_role where archetype='student'

So I think maybe the reason is for postgreSQL, it requires 'student' instead of "student".

Any suggestion for this issue?

Thanks.

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

by Michael Zehr - Monday, 27 January 2014, 3:25 AM

I apologize for not having send earlier code snippets. I've been busy getting a school up and running....

But in doing so I found an issue that I think is related to the enrol apply plugin.

Classes have started and we processed a number of applications for a handful of courses. In the first week there is a feedback activity used for a roll call. When the teacher clicks on "non-respondents" on the feedback tab, some students who are not in the course are listed. If you click on the student name the profile shows that they aren't in the course. I think these are students who requested the course but were turned down.

The non-respondents is based on getting a list of all users that could fill out the activity and removing those who did. That uses get_users_by_capability. There are comments in that function that refer to inactive enrollments which I think is the cause of the problem. As I recall this plugin works by putting a partial row in the course enroll table and then completing it upon approval, so I'm wondering if the queries in accesslib don't check that the application wasn't completed.

Also it's possible that the registrar or teachers used the manual enrol plugin to cancel/delete students from the course after they used this plugin to request enrollment, so I'm not sure if that cleans up the database properly.

The one really odd part is that I have a few practice courses I set up for the teachers to play with, and when I go in them and click on non-respondents in the feedback, I get a huge list. I haven't verified if it's all users, or all users who had an application turned down, or what exactly. But in the real courses the teachers have only seen a couple extra students in the non-respondents.

Not sure if this is part of the issue, but in order to stop new applications we turned off the course enrol plugin in the admin's plugin management screen... but for a couple courses we removed it as an enrollment method. We saw that by disabling it we couldn't use it to process earlier requests. (There's got to be a better way to prevent new requests, right?)

There's a relatively easy fix if you have access to source code:

In mod/feedback/show_nonrespondents.php, line 243, add:

// added 1-26-14 by MJZ fix problem with unenrolled students showing up.
if (!is_enrolled($coursecontext, $user->id))
continue;

To summarize --

is there a problem with interaction between enroll apply and manual enrollments?

what's the right way to stop new enrollments from being accepted while still being able to access the "manage" screen to process existing requests?

Thanks,

Michael

setting enrolment end date

by Michael Zehr - Thursday, 13 February 2014, 12:00 PM

I'm new enough to moodle that we're going through our first classes with real students. As such we haven't completely figured out our end of class process.

I had thought the right way to handle the end of class was to set the end date for enrollment for each of the students to the end of class. If you delete the student then the grades are gone, but by setting the end date for enrollment they ca't go back into the course but you still have the grades.

Today I need to process a student dropping out. But when I go to enrolled users, there's no edit on enrol confirmation like there is on manual. So I don't see a way to set the end date.

So what is the right way to drop a student from a class (either in the middle or to close things out at the end) so you keep the grades, but they can't go into the course anymore?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Flotter,

I installed on moodle 2.6.4 and it installed fine. But I see few things missing:

1. Admin must be notified for every enrollment via email.

2. That email should contain a link for admin to approve/cancel the enrollment request.

3. That link should lead to a page with buttons / controls to approve or cancel it.(even in bulk)

All these 3 features used to work with a plugin called moderated enrollment on moodle 1.9.

Is there any plan to improve and have these features in this plug-in?

Hi,

regarding 1:

I think sending an email to the admin each time a student applies for a course probably only makes sense for smaller installation. Currently only teachers of a course are notified. If you want that the admin also gets a mail you could add the admin and add the teacher role to the admin user (in the course). Hope that helps. Maybe you can epxlain a bit your moodle situation.

regarding 1 and 2:

This seems to be a good idea (especially in the mail to the teacher). Let me think of it...

Hi Daniel,

Moodle provides different Enrolment methods, such as "self enrolment" or paypal.

This plugin simply installs a new enrolment method.

Once installed, you'll probably want to disable the self enrolment method and enable the new enrolment method.

You can do this for specific courses (Settings > Course administration > Users > Enrolment methods) or globally (Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Enrolments > Manage enrol plugins).

More info:

Hi,

I think you need to go to Settings > Course administration > Users > Enrolment methods. You should see several icons next to the enrolment method, one of them should allow you to manage pending applications (the icon representing two users).

New Version available

by Flotter Totte - Wednesday, 10 September 2014, 8:38 PM

Hi all,

there is a new version of the plugin available. It contains some code improvements and you now can use more placeholders in the notification mails which are sent to applicants.

Btw: all in all you now can use the following placeholders in both notification mails:

{username} > username

{firstname} > first name

{lastname} > last name

{content} > course name

One of the next steps will be to test Jordif's enhancements regarding manager & teacher notification as well as some layout improvements. If anyone wants to help with testing, please let me know...

Hi Flotter,

First of all, thanks for making this plugin. I really needed this functionality for my moodle site.

I am having bit of a problem though. Plugin is not sending any email notification to the Manager role although it does send email to Teacher role user. Also, the email doesn't contain all the information I setup in the plugin settings like firstname, lastname, content, etc.

Thanks for your help.

I've been testing this enrolment plugin and I've found a "bug". It happens once user has applied. If you click on the current course sections on the left, it ouputs an error. I guess this error message should be somehow different either hide course sections until approval.

It's installed under the last Moodle version. If you figure out how to solve this problem... Thanks.

Hi Flotter,

Thank you for creating this great plugin. I have come up against an issue though ... It is not sending emails to teachers or managers. It does send emails to students when they are confirmed however so I don't believe it's an issue with my moodle site.

Am I correct to expect it to send teachers/managers an email notification when a student applies to be enrolled on a course? Or should it only happen when they are confirmed?

In any case, on my site it is doing neither. I have activated

Send email notification to teachers
Send email notification to managers

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi Catherine,

currently only the course teachers (users with course role "teacher") and users with system wide manager role can receive this mail. It's a bit tricky and might be would be good to have more options.

Please try the following

1. enroll a user to the course (for example with manual enrollment)

2. witihn the course, assign this user the role "teacher"

3. let a student enroll via the enrollment upon approval plugin

4. hopefully receive the mail

Hi Flotter,

Thanks for your prompt response. I had assigned managers at course level rather than site level so it seems that was the problem. When I assigned a manager at site level it worked as expected.

However - this isn't a problem for me personally but flagging it in case it is a bug - teachers (enrolled at course level) are not getting notifications of enrollments. I'm on Moodle 2.9.4.

For other browsers here, I am happy to clarify that the notification email to site-level managers notifies you of new applicants and provides a link to the page where you can confirm/decline their application to be enrolled on the course.

Hi Catherine,

Just to be sure, could you please look in the related course into the list of enrolled users and check if the teacher user who should receive the mail has the local role teacher? (not the system role teacher). If you look in the course, this user should be displayed as in below screenshot:

So regarding who receives notification mails:

users with SYSTEM role manger (if ticked in the plugin settings)

users with LOCAL role teacher (if ticked in the plugin settings)

Flotter,

I am investigating using this plugin in my installation of Moodle. I need one clarification before I install it. We are using Moodle in a corporate environment, I have a requirement to send an approval notice to an students manager and then have them go and approve or deny the course enrollment request. In reading the thread for this plugin it looks like you can send approval messages to the course teacher or people setup with the manager role within Moodle. How would I send the approval notice to a a students manager?

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

by Scott Karren - Thursday, 22 January 2015, 1:02 AM

Flotter,

I got your PM, will be sending you a request shortly. We have manager information loaded into the employee profiles that Moodle creates through the use of custom fields. We are then able to create a Manager>employee relationship by creating a manager role with limited rights to view their employees courses, grades, forum posts, etc.

We have been testing the Face to Face activity plugin which has the ability to send enrollment requests to the managers via a managers email field in the user profile. It works ok, but has been confusing to some of our users because it requires enrolling in a course and then registering a session. I am looking for a more streamlined method for our users and your enrollment plugin almost fits what I am looking for.

Thanks for your help, hopefully this provides a little more information for you.

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

by Scott Karren - Thursday, 22 January 2015, 5:10 AM

Flotter,

I am testing your plugin and came across a few issues I thought you should be aware of. I also have a couple of questions.

1. The plugin is logging an error in my php error log - [21-Jan-2015 13:31:29 America/Denver] PHP Notice: Help contents string does not exist: [status_help, enrol_apply]<ul style="text-align: left" data-rel="backtrace"><li>line 464 of \lib\outputcomponents.php: call to debugging()</li><li>line 2121 of \lib\outputrenderers.php: call to help_icon->diag_strings()</li><li>line 1901 of \lib\formslib.php: call to core_renderer->help_icon()</li><li>line 32 of \enrol\apply\edit_form.php: call to MoodleQuickForm->addHelpButton()</li><li>line 191 of \lib\formslib.php: call to enrol_self_edit_form->definition()</li><li>line 46 of \enrol\apply\edit.php: call to moodleform->moodleform()</li></ul> in C:\WWWdev\WWW\lib\weblib.php on line 2948

2. As a student, how would I unenroll myself from the course? Normally I would see in Course administration the link "Unenroll me from {name of course}". It is not there when I login as a student.

3. Under Course administration > Users > Enrollment methods The plugin does not show up in the list of enrollment methods. I have to click on the enrollment methods link to access the plugin.

4. I found a few typos in the lang file. I have corrected those and attached them. I have also created an US English lang file that I have attached as well.

That is what I have so far. I will continue to test and will probably have more feedback later. Thanks for this plugin.

bugs have been fixed (thanks to Carlos Shirasawa (Shiro), eWallah, Gilles-Philippe Leblanc and Scott Karren),
a Chinese version has been realized (thanks to Lainme) and
a really great and often requested new feature has been realized (thanks to Derek Nugent)

The above mentioned new feature lets you add the user’s standard profile fields and/or extra user profile fields which the student should check and in case correct/complete. Whether or not having the profile fields appeared can be defined in the plugin settings.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the further development of the plugin!

Hello !

We used the module with moodle 2.8 and it worked well.

But since update to moodle 2.9, we encounter difficulties with this module :

- Teachers should be able to add the enrolment upon approval method to their course and it is not possible. Only administrators can add the method (and permissions allow teacher to manage enrolment with approval);

- Nor teacher nor administrators may suppres this method from a course.

There has perhaps been some changes in right definition in moodle 2.9 ?

thanks in advance for help and big kisses for this module ;-*

Then in your enrollment method in the relevant course, go to the settings, and beside 'Show extra user profile fields on enrollment screen' choose 'yes' from the dropdown list.

Hello!

We use this great plugin in our institution.

Recently, I'm having problems with an 'unknown user' (with administrator or professor status) who is approving enrolment applications in a course. This is bothering me because I'm responsible for this course and for enrolment applications approval or disapproval.

I would like to know if it is possible to identify this 'unknow user' who is approving enrolment applications without authorization. Moodle log report doesn't show this; it shows enrolment as an action of the user who required enrolment (see attached file enrolment at 8h16):

Thank you.

Yes I´m sure.

I just tested the enrolment method and it behaves as described in the previous image.

I then checked up by obtainig a log report of myself, who had approved the test enrolment, and it shows no action other than "course view"; it does not point out that I approved an enrolment request.

Maybe this is a problem we will have to deal with over here, since there are diferent people with administrator role. I just wished I could identify the one who is irresponsibily allowing people in to my course repeatedly.

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

by Simon Kelsey - Wednesday, 20 April 2016, 7:57 AM

Very useful plugin, thank you!

However -- is there a way to prevent new applications without suspending the enrolment of students who are already on the course? Disabling the plugin causes all users who have already been approved to have their enrolment suspended.

I'm thinking of something like the self-enrolment options whereby one can allow existing enrolments but prevent new enrolments.

Essentially I'm trying to prevent my waiting list from getting too long!

Thanks!

Hi Simon, Flotter,

This is a very good point and I have just come across this issue now too! Being able to stop people from enrolling either because the course is full or because the course start date has passed, without stopping already-enrolled users from accessing the course is not really possible. It would be great if a future update of the plugin would allow this feature. Do you think this would be possible?

Simon, as a work around - it's far from ideal, but it does work:

In your course, go to your list of enrolled users
Manually enroll anyone who has been enrolled via this plugin
In your enrollment methods, hide the instance of the 'enrolment upon approval' method.

by Federica Marra - Tuesday, 26 April 2016, 9:07 PM

Dear all,

I encountered a big issue with the plugin and it never happened before today!

It looks like that after ONLY ONE user enrolls himself through the plugin.. then the enrolment option is blocked for all other possible students as "Maximum number of users allowed to self-enrol was already reached."

Am I missing something in the settings? I can't see where I can set up the maximum amount of enrolled users in the course.

We used this plugin for other courses as well (around January) and we got 20 users applying at the same time. I can't understand what is wrong now..
Moodle version in 2.8.5 and the plugin version is the latest.

Thanks a lot!

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval

Hi Luisa,

The warning message suggests that your users are enrolling by 'self enroll' rather that with this plugin. You probably need to hide 'self enrollment' in the enrollment methods and make sure that 'Enrolment upon approval' is activated for that course.

Thanks a lot for the hint! I am sorry but I have the same problem than Luisa and it is not related with the self-enrollment method.
I tried to have it hidden or disabled.

As soon as one user is enrolled with the enroll confirmation method other users cannot enroll into the course because of the error message:

Maximum number of users allowed to self-enrol was already reached.

I'm totally new to Moodle so sorry if the question is dumb.

I've just installed the "Enrolment upon approval" plugin to be able to select a certain number of students to enrol in a class. The criteria is in this case - the number of months of experience as a resident doctor. There is no absolut cut of in terms of months, it will be the 25 students with the most experience.

To get experience information from the student applying to the course I've created a user field. So to the question.....

Is the a way to display "user field" on the "Enrol confirm" page? I would like to be able to sort from high to low.

Thanks

Hi Greg,

To configure the plugin, go to [yourmoodlesite]/admin/settings.php?section=enrolsettingsapply

Here you can edit the confirmation and rejection email that goes out to applicants, decide if you want teacher and managers to receive notifications etc.

Then to add the method to a course page, go to Users > Enrollment Methods and add the 'Course enrol confirmation' as a method and say that you want users to be given a student role on the course page.

Assuming you set it to receive notifications, you will get a message to your inbox when someone applies this way, which will contain a link to where you can accept or reject the application. Alternatively go back to the to the course page > users > enrollment methods and click on the icon of a person's head - here you can accept or reject the enrollment applications.

Dear all,

During some testing we realized that the current version of the plugin is not suitable for moodle 2.8. The reason is that the moodle 2.9+ messaging API is used.

The problems mentioned by Francis Vendrell and Mo Elhammamy are related to this.

So please note: the current version of the plugin only works with moodle versions: 2.9, 3.0 and 3.1. If you use a lower version than 2.9, I recommend to upgrade your moodle (you can contact me if this is not possible for you to discuss possible solutions).

It would be nice if the user could first receive a confirmation of enrolment request by e-mail, in addition to the latter confirmation of the actual enrolment.

It could also be a means of sending some information (e. g. the conditions to be met in order to be able to take the course).

I was wondering if this plugin will be updated for 3.8.x? I currently have it installed and it seems to be working fine. But I was curious. The only feature that I seem to have an issue with is the option to have someone notified across courses when an application is submitted (a global notification). I have tried but I can't get that to work. However, everything else seems to work.

Thanks!

Stephen

Hi there!

Thank you for this very useful plugin!

We unfortunately have a major problem as we were planning on using the plugin: everything works perfectly when we manually choose to add the Enrolment upon approval method, but when we use the automatic one that activates this method in all courses, then instead of the button the users get this error: Enrolment is disabled or inactive

We're on Moodle 3.9...

Any idea?

Thank you!

I was wondering that it is something wrong with my Moodle configuration.

I'm using Moodle 3.9 too and every time a create a new course, I have to go to enrollment methods, edit and save the Course Enroll Confirmation to make it work.

Enrolment is disabled or inactive problem

by Michal Wazana - Wednesday, 2 September 2020, 7:47 PM

When you define this enrolment method on creation of new course,

Fields customint3, customint6 are empty in table "enrol" and therefore this error occurs.

Is it possible to fix it from v.3.8?

Thanks

for all the developers that want to solve this issue add to enrol/apply/lib.php 4 missing fields

public function get_instance_defaults() {
    $fields = array();
    $fields['status']          = $this->get_config('status');
    $fields['roleid']          = $this->get_config('roleid', 0);
    $fields['customint1']      = $this->get_config('show_standard_user_profile');
    $fields['customint2']      = $this->get_config('show_extra_user_profile');
    $fields['customtext2']     = $this->get_config('notifycoursebased') ? '$@ALL@$' : '';
    $fields['enrolperiod']     = $this->get_config('enrolperiod', 0);

// missing fields
    $fields['customint3']      = $this->get_config('maxenrolled');
    $fields['customint4']      = $this->get_config('sendcoursewelcomemessage');
    $fields['customint5']      = 0;
    $fields['customint6']      = $this->get_config('newenrols');

    return $fields;
}

Re: New Enrolment Plugin: Enrolment upon approval Add other extra field

by Ajay Paudel - Tuesday, 11 May 2021, 4:10 PM

Hello,

In this plugin right now it only gives us one field to show to user, So how can we add other field and show that field data to admin for approval of user request? Is there any way to add more field?

Ri: A message to all contributors to the plugin "enrolment upon approval"

by Chiara Di Terlizzi - Monday, 17 May 2021, 5:32 PM

Thank you! I just installed the new version and tried to create a new course, having the enrolment method included by default.
Now the enrolment method appears active even when the settings are not changed.
However, there are still 2 issues:

1. when the method is activated by default at course creation, the default label for the user message is "$@ALL@$", while it should be "Comment" like when you insert it manually;
2. when the method is activated by default at course creation, there is no way to set the default of "Define who gets notified about new enrolment applications" at course level, and this setting has no value. So, If the teacher does not edit this settings, it will never be notified! It should have a default value of "Everyone who can Manage apply enrolment".

Thank you so much for considering these fixes.

How the teacher / admin can remove users after approve them? Doesn't appear the trash beside the name. I try remove selecting some users by checkbox and select the action to remove users and doesn't work too.

Hello, I wish I can help you, as I had the same problem at the beginning. Then I played with the options and now I have the recycle bin, but I never understood how it happened. Just to inform you that the possibility exists someway. I hope someone else will be able to explain it us.

This is true. I tried also with the {mlang} tags provided by a popular additional plugin (multi-language content v2) and also this way does not work.
