Hi,
I am developing a site for a client and have built a redemption system on his business website that captures various student information.
The client would like the system to also add the student to the moodle database and auto enroll them in a group and course.
I have been successful in adding the student to users section of moodle but am unsure which tables handle the enrolments and groups.
Is there an enrollment API? or can anyone explain the process to me.
I am using v2.5
Thank you.
Hello,
Instead of inserting records in the tables yourself, use the Moodle APIs wherever possible.
For creating users, use
http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/External_database_authentication
For enrolling them in a course, you may use External Database Enrollment plugin
http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/External_database_enrolment
I hope that helps
Thank you for the answer,
I have mapped all the necessary fields required for the External database authentication but when i try to log in as one of the users i get the error message "Invalid login, please try again.
I have made these fields as basic as possible for testing purposes,
username = firstname in ext
password = password in ext (plain text at this stage)
I am not getting any connection errors (will i, if this is an issue?)
Any ideas?
