Enrolment

I'm glad mass creation of courses is working for others - it has stopped working for me since I upgraded. I'm on 1.52 with mysql. I'm creating the block_instance entries but they're just being ignored.

For example, I set up a new empty instance and created one course. Then I added 8 block_instance entries to match it. Then I entered the course and found no blocks, so I added the Participants block manually. That adds one line to mdl_block_instance identical to one of the lines I had already added. The first select below shows the blocks before the manual addition, the second afterwards.



mysql> select blockid,pageid,pagetype,position,weight,visible from mdl_block_instance;
+---------+--------+-------------+----------+--------+---------+
| blockid | pageid | pagetype    | position | weight | visible |
