Hello All,

We are creating our courses through external database plugin , we need to find a way to copy course content automatically whenever course is created based on template course. or even with scheduled function

is there a way to do so. I can run code if it is required please just tell me the function in Moodle that can handle this process

Thanks for your cooperation

Hi Wafaa,

have a look at our plugin Kickstart: https://moodle.org/plugins/format_kickstart In a nutshell: Upon entering a course which uses the kickstart format, teachers can pick a template for their course. Maybe that’s enough for you?

There’s also a pro version which has an option to automatically apply a template if there’s only one which is applicable for the course category.

While currently the application of the template happens only when a teacher opens the course, it would be a relatively simple development to implement a scheduled task automates that process.

Hope this helps!
Best Stefan

Thanks Stefan for your reply.
But actually we don't want teachers to handle any import process , we want create courses automatically based on data from SIS and want each course to automatically import the content based on corresponding Template

Hi Wafaa,

That’s understandable and I see it like you do.

With kickstart pro, teachers don’t have to do anything if there’s only one applicable template available.

Only if there are several templates available for a course, the teacher may/needs to choose (in pro).

See this short video:   

Please note that it is not relevant for the process if the course was created by the teacher himself (using the course creator role) or somebody/something else (api, upload, manually by the admin etc).

Hope this helps!

Stefan
