Hello,


i am a Moodle developer and this is easy to do =)


I was planning to do this on a not so far future.

Also, i will implement a patch to the current enrol plugin that let you configure one email per instance instead of a global one.

If you want more, we can also take a look at how Paypal handle multiple payments and add this to both plugins.


What do you say?


Kind regards,

Daniel

Hello everyone,

I apologize for delay & I thank you all for your suggestions.

@Stuart: I had thought of this but I don't like the idea of creating dummy courses for the only purpose of delivering certificates, as this would become burdensome in the long run.

@Daniel, I will contact you by PM. I am willing to fund this feature as I am sure it would be appreciated by the community.

Regards,

Seb

Hello,

This plugin is a standalone Paypal activity module, i.e., you may use it to unlock other activities in a course in the Restricting access options. This offers more flexibility than the core enrol Paypal feature as you can open a course to the general public but restrict access to some of the content therein.

This works great if you want to unlock a bunch of activities in a course at once. However, Daniel is already working on an improved feature, by adding Paypal as an availability condition for any type of activity. I am convinced that this will be a great addition to Moodle and a great asset for the Moodle community. Some of us must raise money to get the proper resources for creating and ensuring the highest quality of our training programs/material. The first beta version of the Paypal availability feature is available here and open for testing and comments:

https://github.com/danielneis/moodle-availability_paypal

This is the first project I am doing with Daniel and I must say he is a very good developer.

Cheers,

Sebastien

Hi, Sebastien and Daniel.

Thanks for the contribution! This seems to be definitely what I'm looking for in a project. Which moodle versions are compatible with the module? I tried to run it on 2.4 and it throws the following error:

Debug info: Missing version value in version.php
Error code: detectedbrokenplugin

Thanks a lot in advance!

Eder

Hello,


as Availability Conditions Plugins were introduced only in Moodle 2.7 release, this plugin will not be supported for earlier versions.

https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Availability_conditions

Please, update your Moodle site as 2.4 release will complete 4 years old ;)


Kind regards,

Daniel

Paypal enrollment is built into core moodle.  Just enable it and then follow instructions for setting it up.  I have no idea what you mean by "availability condition"?

Availability Conditions are the "options" to  "Restrict access"

https://docs.moodle.org/33/en/Restrict_access

Here is the paypal plugin:

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. Yes.. I have seen the "Availability conditions" Paypal plugin. But I need the enrollment plugin for Paypal which was available before. Is there any way to get the same?
