Moodle in English -> Lounge -> Art Teacher loses job after trip to museum -> Re: Art Teacher loses job after trip to museum

Ok
Now let me put up something here.

In India, about 2 months ago we had an art exhibition in a very upmarket art gallery in the capital. The exhibition was titled- 'tits and clits' and no i am not talking porn . this was a genuinely appreciated art exhibition . It had craftworks, not paintings which had been made out of tea-bush, cane, etc and they resembled the nether regions of the body.

the fun began when a woman's  sensibilities got really really offended and she filed a public interest litigation in the court.

Now all the literati, gliterati, chatterati and connoisseurs were up in the arms against that school of art which exhibited this without accepting that almost all of them had been going gaga in the cocktails thrown by the art school to get the hoi-polloi in the gallery; and of course were appreciating the subtle portrayal of the beauty of the feminine form)

The CRUX- There is a very fine line between sense and nonsense and non is too broad a word for that. The poor teacher is just another small fish sacrificed at the altar of hypocrisy.

They can particpate in activities to help new students master the content of the course, such as contributing to the forums. Select students from the Enrolled list, then use Mark Alumni to add the students to the Alumni list. Re-enrolling or removing alumni can be done from the Alumni tab."

Moodle in English -> Enrolment -> Enrolling from Guest to Registered User... wants non-existent key? -> Re: Enrolling from Guest to Registered User... wants non-existent key?

I tried your website.

I found an anomaly which may or may not help you(because i am technically illiterate) but may be something to look at.

Ordinarily, when we access any moodle frontpage, it says:
"You are not logged in. (Login)"

but when we go to http://moodle.skitsap.wednet.edu/ NOT from any link but directly, your top right corner says:"You are currently using guest access (Login)"

Now this has something to do with user permissions at site setting levels
one feature is autologinasguest....another is forcelogin.... i think  you have set the first one as  yes but second to no....thats why everytime we go to your site we are auto-loggedin as guests......but when we try to login into the course, and the course uses ldap, then when we try guest access, moodle gets confused ......why? i cannot say......
but temporarily
TRY THIS
Do create a key for the guests let's say 'password'
and then, attempt to login using this key and see if this logs you in as a guest or does it override your ldap method......it'd be interesting to know. If it simply logs you in as guest, then write in the summary of your course: 'Please use 'password' as enrolment key;......period.....temporary relief achieved.

And lastly, i tried something

from the page that says you require a key from so and so, i directly clicked the link to sktech news and LO! it opened .

So till this problem is solved, just write in the summary of your course:"If you are asked for a login key, please ignore it and click directly here" and link the words here to sktechnews......this may override the problem temporarily,TILL the bug, if it's a bug, is sorted out.
