Ok anyhow here's my current situation {kindly let me know
if it is possible}
Current Situation
===============
Currently I use external authentication which looks into an external login table.
This table however only contains an ID and a PWD. I understand that is is
possible to map the First Name / Last Name / Address etc into moodle however is
appears that i may need to join tables which I do no know if moodle or myself are able to do it . So since I am unable to draw the Personal Details from my
other table, Upon the first Login, Moodle requests for personal Details of the
new student (Name, Address , Description etc) I also understand that this is a
one-off request. After saving the changes, it is also possible to go back and modify
them.
*phew* ok here's the problem bit
Problem 1
=========
Would it be possible for me to join tables and populate the fields such as
"First Name , Last Name etc" so that moodle would not ask the user
for their Input? This is because it would not be very pleasant having to deal
with 40 students with celebrity names.
Problem 2
=========
Would it be possible to disable the "Edit User Profile" page? This is
because as per the previous problem, i do not wish to have my students changing
their names.
A possible solution i read was to edit the "Edit Profile" page
{user/edit.php} and set the "First Name , Last name" as a label or
something. However i did notice that there were different types of
"instances" for that page hence I am unsure if that was a possible solution.
Thanks for reading and would greatly appreciate any feedback.
