Second debugging info

After taking a look at the previous debugging info, it seemed strange to me that at the do_group function, the first debugging line (debugging("trying to enrol user now");) from the if (isloggedin()){ section was not the one displayed (which I thought it would... after all, the user is logged in), and so I decided to change that line like so: if (!isloggedin()){ and do the test again (after having unroled the users from the course).

I logged in with user-1 and this time I got the following info:

Debug info: SELECT * FROM {user} WHERE id = ?
[array (
0 => 0,
)] 
Error code: invaliduser

After selecting the Continue button, the user-2 was kicked out (logged out).

I then logged in as admin and went to check the course. This time:

• user user-1 was enroled, as expected.
• a group Auto|g_ was created (notice that that string appears at the debug info) with the following group description:

This group has been automatically created by the Auto Enrol plugin. It will be deleted if you remove the Auto Enrol plugin from the course.

After logging in with user-2, I got:

0 => 0,

As before, user-2 was logged out but enroled into the course.

Well, the release 1.2 plugin certainly seems to have a bug; I hope this information will help finding it and fixing it.

First debugging info

After I:

• Enabled debugging.
• Uncommented the 5 debugging lines in autoenrol/lib.php.

I got the following info:

this shouldnt be possible!

Hi,

I'm using Moodle 2.5.9 and installed the AutoEnrol plugin (release 1.2, version 2013070100, from Mark Ward).

The plugin installed and works fine, except that I haven't been able to figure out how the group creation/assignment capability works.

The plugin is set as follows:

* General
Custom Label: ---
Role: Student
Enrol When: Logging into Site
Always Enrol: No

* User Filtering
Group By: Department
Allow Only: g_
Soft Match: Yes
Limit: 0

I have three test users:

user-0, with Department field empty
user-1, with Department field = g_a01
user-2, with Department field = g_b02

And a course:

• defined with Group mode=Separate groups & Force group mode=Yes.
• with only one group named g_a01.

After login-in with the three users:

• user-1 and user-2 are enroled into the course, just as expected.
• user-0 is not, just as expected.

However:

• user user-1 is not assigned to group g_a01.
• group g_b02 is not created (and evidently, user-2 is also left unassigned to any group).

 Is this the expected and correct way the plugin works?

I may just have misunderstood the description regarding groups:

In addition the plugin has advanced functionality to support autmatically grouping and filtering users based upon their attributes. Depending on how your user accounts are setup this may help you to give access to certain user groups.

but I thought that after a user logs in and gets enroled, the plugin would create the required group (based on the value of the Department field) if it didn't already exist, and also assign the user into the group.

Thanks beforehand

Thanks Richard, it seems I need to make some time to do some catching-up  

PHP 7? I see that Moodle 3 still uses version 5.4.4, since Moodle 2.7. So Moodle 3 should still work on small hosts, shouldn't it?
