It's active but it can't be selected in the course config page. Why?
I'm using the last beta 1.6 with PostgreSQL 8.1
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?
When 1.6 is out the door, we'll prepare the (slightly patched) OSCommerce package and a mini-howto.
If you are impatient and happy to figure things out, the custom OSC package is at http://git.catalyst.net.nz/gitweb?p=oscommerce.git;a=shortlog;h=mdl-osc-ceed -- use the 'snapshot' link.
