Hi Folks,

I've added a new enrolment plugin called AutoEnrol onto the Plugins directory. I developed this to help with global courses like "Learner Voice" or "Moodle Help" which all users need access to, but unlike Self Enrolment this plugin enrols a user onto a course without asking any questions the moment they load the course. For courses with a global importance the plugin can also automatically enrol users to a course upon login. Additional options are controlled through a user permission which means that only users with advanced priveledges will be able to set the enrol-on-login feature.

In order to make the plugin more useful I have also added options for automatic grouping of users based upon their user attributes and also added a filter option meaning you could only allow automatic enrolment for members of a particular department or authentication method.

advanced permissions

The plugin has been running on our live server since September and I have also sent it to colleagues at other colleges in my area, however I have released it as 0.9 for now just in case any issues arise from different configurations and environments. 

I hope the community finds this useful! smile

Hi Kieran,

To install you just drop the autoenrol folder into moodle/enrol and then log into your site as an admin.

Hi Mark,

What Moodle release are you running on your live server?  We are currently running 2.1.5.

Thanks,

Jenna

Hi Jenna!

We are currently running 2.2, but I originally developed this when we were running 2.1 and that set up was in place for 4 months so it should be fine to install on your server.

All the best

Mark

Hi,

The plugin installation fails in Moodle 2.3 with the error "Plugin installed in wrong folder"

I fixed this by changing: $plugin->component = 'block_course_contacts';
to: $plugin->component = 'enrol_autoenrol';

I hope this helps others.

Kind Regards,
Matt P
