It's active but it can't be selected in the course config page. Why?

Because it is not an interactive enrolment plugin. The per-course enrolment option is for when you allow students to trigger their own enrolment, examples:

  • manual enrolment ("Want to enrol in this course now? [yes/no]" with the option of using course keys)
  • paypal ("want to enrol? pay here!")
  • OSCommerce ("want to enrol? pay here!")

The other enrolment plugins (ldap, db) check your enrolment against an external data store -- probably with data from a SIS. This will work regardless of the course->enrol setting.

Does that help?

Hi Martin,

Is it possible to test your OsCommerce approach/interoperation with Moodle?

Looking forward to it wink
