I want to automate moodle system with another application database.
So i want to create course category when my application database table is filled with categories.
I have created trigger, Iam inserting values in moodle table mdl_course_categories and mdl_context , its
getting inserted , but at UI it is not showing the created category.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me on this
I think you may be missing one last little piece of the puzzle, that took me hours to find when I did something similar last year
In one of the classes involved there is a bit around context maintenance (sorry can't remember off the top of my head where the original is). I added that code (see below) toward the end of my function (mine is in a local scheduled task plugin)
// Context maintenance stuff.
\context_helper::cleanup_instances();
mtrace(' Cleaned up context instances');
\context_helper::build_all_paths(false);
// If you suspect that the context paths are somehow corrupt
// replace the line above with: context_helper::build_all_paths(true).
Hope that helps

Hi,
Iam getting course categories when i purge all the caches. But without purging, iam not getting these categories , when data is added to database through trigger.
Iam getting new course_category option in left side navigation panel where course tree is displayed.
when i went through its related files , in there caching clearning function was written ,
Hi
Finally i got solution,
i have added this line code
Moodle/lib/Coursecatlib.php : line 204
in constructor
Code added: cache_helper::purge_all();
