Hi! please help with this task ... is it possible to make the advertising course in moodle ... necessary to allow for recorded on this course by all attached materials and all subjects were available for viewing, and for non registered user also could see the whole course with all the materials, but access was only to some...

 

The picture shows the blue and gray links ... blue ones - are available, and gray - not (gray only available for registered users) .... at this point it turns to gray links with the ability to view them, but it is not necessary .... . need only to have seen the name of the attached file, lectures, pictures, etc.

 

Thank you for your attention =)))))))!!!!!!!

I think you could restrict access with conditional activities, you'd just need to have a guest role that had access to some of t he links (blue), all grey links would be conditional upon the completion of some activity that required an enrolled student access (like completing a quiz, posting in a forum, etc.) which would unlock the other links.

Yeah, a neat thing about conditional activities is that you can set it up so that the content will appear, but it wouldn't turn into a link a user clicks on until they fullfil the activity.

However, you mentioned that you wanted some links to only be avaiable to guests and some only to enrolled users (do not display the links). At my university we solved this problem by using groupings:

http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/Groupings

We put all the enrolled users into a group called "Course Members" which is a member of  grouping called "Private Course Materials". 

Then for all content uploaded we associated it (by default) to the "Private Course Materials" grouping and make sure that the "Available for group members only" option is choosen in the "Common module settings" section.

If we want content to put public, we do not associate it with any grouping and unselect the "Available for group members only".

Also, we make sure that the guest enrollment plugin is active for the course.
