Charging for Add-ons AND Registration error

Charging for Add-ons AND Registration error

I realize what I am looking for is probably right in front of my face, but for some reason I am missing it.  I need to know how to charge for add-ons to a course.  Example, someone orders a course on building a website and wants to add a virtual on line computer to their training as a lab (add-on) is there a way to make extras available to the students, like labs, books etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have just one other question, when I try to register with Moodle I get the following error:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /admin/registration/confirmregistration.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

There is more to the path line but I deleted it for security reasons.

The only mechanism Moodle has for charging is a PayPal plugin. This allows you to charge for complete courses, not parts of one. What you are asking would almost certainly require custom development. 

On the second point, what does your web server error log say? One thing that springs to mind is that you might have urls that start with /admin configured (in your web server configuration) to be used for something else.

Howard,

Thank you for the reply.  In answer to your question, yes I did check the logs and the syntax of the GET command is fine, it should have worked.  Now that being said, I will dig a little deeper and check with my ISP to see what can be done.

 

Mary,

Thank you for the help on the tittle issue on my post.  I am working on so many projects, that sometimes I get lost in what I am trying to ask.  I apologize for the double post, I of all people should have known better...

Thank you for your help...

Hello Tim. I saw your post title was "Questions about 2.6.2" and I changed it so it would be more clear to readers what your problems are. Generally it's not advisable to ask two questions in one post as it makes it harder for people to respond, but as I can't split your post into two posts, I just added both questions to the subjec title (Some hints in the Site policy for future reference) If you'd like to ask one of the questions again in a new post, that would be great.

As for charging for add-ons, I wonder if it might work if you used Paypal and you simply made a link to Paypal as a URL in the course, and if they paid, then they got sent the link to the download you want them to purchase?

 As for the 404 error, I found a very old tracker issue suggesting it is a server set up error - MDL-25717
