Downloading course content without being enrolled

Downloading course content without being enrolled

I have checked self registration for the site and also managed plug ins for self enrolment to my course. I have left both manual and self enrolment active in the course settings however when I select course there is a notification saying that:

"You cannot enrol yourself in this course"

Despite not enrolling in the course I can download course. If I am not enrolled surely I should not be allowed to download the course in full.

1) Have I missed something. I'd like students to self enrol before accessing content to download.

2) If I provide a QR code for my course can I by-pass this issue. If so where do I generate it.

3) The download option is for them to download FULL COURSE. Is there not options to download components eg TOPIC activities? I read there was but I cannot see how it is done.

Hi Bron,

if the course supports self enrolment (Moodle's core self enrol, not 3rd party plugins) then the app should let students self enrol.

E.g. I configured my course like this:

Then in the app I see the self enrol button if I try to open the course:

In my case it's not displaying the option to download the course. Maybe your course has guest access enabled? 

About number 3, you can download only certain topics when you're inside the course. You need to open the top-right menu and enable "Show download options" to view the download buttons:

EDIT: I've just seen in another topic that you added a screenshot. The user can access the contents of the course and there's no self enrol button, maybe the student is already enrolled in the course?

Cheers,
Dani
