Enrolment

Thanks for your response Emma. I kind of figured it out right before you responded. So, if someone has a site that they're qualifying new prospects with and then sending them to moodle it would appear it would be a better strategy to not use paypal enrolment in moodle and instead send prospects who want the course to paypal via your own paypal link on your site so they can first pay.

Once you get the paypal payment notification then manually enrol that person (user and pw) into the course through the back office and then send their credentials (user and pw) to the new buyer with the link to the login page?

If using paypal enrolment via moodle it seems backwards. There's no automation whatsoever if you first manually enrol someone and then send them to the login page where they pay through paypal enrolment.

Am I missing something here?

Also, is there a way to send buyers to a registration page where they create their user name and password are redirected to the login page where they are prompted to enrol via paypal? Thanks, joe

Hello,

I set all of that up for self registration, now the problem is that when i test it, it only sends confirmation emails to my bluehost email address, which is where my moodle site originates. It does not confirm gmail registrants and probably all other emails such as yahoo, hotmail, etc..

I talked to bluehost and they asked where did the confirmation email to my bluehost email come from. It came from a yahoo address, which was the email address i used for my moodle site admin profile. Bluehost told me they couldn't help me because they couldn't look at the logs in that it came from a yahoo address. So I changed the admin address to a bluehost address but when i test it, it with a registrant that has a bluehost email the confirmation email is still sent from the yahoo address. thus, i'm tyirng to figure out where I change the from address from the yahoo to the bluehost.

Is there anything else to consider. Man this moodle is so hardcore every step. Doesn't give you an inch.

I checked moodle forum regarding this and saw your post, thus i called my hosting, but what i wrote above is what transpired:

You need to talk to your host about what settings to use.  There cannot be instructions because everyone has a different email server and the settings are dependent on the server.  But you could try just putting your basic email settings in the admin/plugin/messaging/email setup and see if that helps.
