I am having difficulty to allow people who come to the site access courses and quizes without having to login.
I am using moodle: version: 2011120501, release : 2.2.1 (Build: 20120109).
I followed all the instractions at http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Guest_access, but could not get it to work.
The issue is that guests are prompted to login. If they click "Login as guest", they still get prompted with same login page with the user id field prepopulated with "guest".
Three configurations steps you need to do .
1.Enable the Guest Access in Enrollment. Setting -> Site Administration -> Plugins -> Authentication -> Manage Authentication .
2. Enabling guest access for a course. Select the course that you want to give Guest access.
Settings -> Course Administration -> Users -> Enrolled Users -> Enrolment methods -> If the Guest access enrolment is not listed on this page, use the Add method drop-down list to add it.
Enable this method at Settings -> Course Administration -> Edit settings, from the Allow guest access drop-down list , select Yes.
3. Make sure you check the box at Settings->Site administration->users->permissions->user policies-> Auto -login guests.
You say (quote) If they click "Login as guest", they still get prompted with same login page with the user id field prepopulated with "guest". This has been noted before and is something to do with a duplicate guest ID in the database. If you try Lotus' instructions and you still have that issue, then have a look at this forum thread which suggests ways in which you can tweak the database to get it working again https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=134099
