Enrolment Timer Block

This block provides the functionality to display the remaining time a user has in their enrolment period - including a live JavaScript countdown timer. There are many settings to choose from to customise the way this is displayed to the user; in text, with numbers, customisable units and so on.

Emailing functionality is also included, You can enable a setting for students to be notified by email when their enrolment is expiring in a set amount of days (Default 10). Email notifications can also be enabled to congratulate a student on passing the course. This email is sent after the student receives a required grade in the course_total grade.

The plugin has been developed with limited styling to enable the best possible base for theme overrides to align the design with your existing Moodle theme.

Hi @Ricardo, I had an issue similar to the one you'r referring. What i did was to install a different plugin (can't remember the name) to test the trigger itself. I think the solution was suggested by the developers themselves (of this plugin). This allowed me to verify that the trigger was working correctly, but the email was not being delivered by the email server.

Thanks for this nice timer block! Odd though, I have a enrollment duration set to 90 days, yet the block shows 88 days left to the learner?

I have the same problem as John Anderson, in that the timer block is showing slightly the wrong number of days. I set an enrolment to 366 days, but when I displayed this as months and days, it displayed too high e.g. 12 months and 5 days. If I changed it to only show days remaining, it showed it 2 days too low - e.g. 364 days. Any help here would be really appreciated, as is an excellent block.

@Dave Foord - I found if you disable "Force 2 Digits" in the main settings, time will display correctly. Your site /admin/settings.php?section=blocksettingenrolmenttimer

Hi. I am using the add-on, but the email notification arrives days after the registration expires. The cron runs every one minute. I am using Moodle 3.11. Could it be that it is not working well for this version?

I'm using this add-on and its great. Thank you.

I'd like to give my feedback in two possible functions that would be very helpful for the teachers:

The ability to have the E-Mail Alert Reminders be sent more than once. Right now I can only send one X days before the enrolment ends. I'd like to have reminders every month. Like "You have 4 months remaining, you have 3 months remaining..." and so on.

Hello. Any chance of this plugin being updated for 3.11? Would be much appreciated.

Hi, may I ask how can I change the display to only show 3 units? For example, if the user has 2 months 4 weeks and 5 hours left, the minutes and seconds will not show and if the user has 1 week 6 hours 5 minutes left then the seconds will not show. Our courses are usually 12 months, hence, it is quite irritating to the users to see the long month, week, days, hours, seconds.
Thanks!!

Hey,

Is there any chance this plugin will be updated for Moodle 4.0+? We love using this but it is having some issues now we have moved to Moodle 4.0

Hi, how about crowdfunding to get this plugin updated to 3.11, 4.0 and 4.1?

Hi Team,
Can we use this Plugin on Moodle 3.11
Also, can we customize the look and feel of this Enrollment timer? Can we customize the Timer Format?
Please advise

Hey, has anyone been able to get this plugin to work on Moodle 4.3? When we updated the plugin refused to work and we ended up having to delete it from our site due to errors. If not, does anyone know a similar plugin we can use as this one was great.

Hi. We have 2 installation with the same versions, 3.11. The plugin works and sends the notification in one of them but it doesn't send the notification in the other LMS. What can be the reason, please?

Hi everyone!
At first the plugin wasn't working in Moodle 4.5, but I made a small adjustment to the code and now it's being added normally to the course. If you want to try it out I have a fork at: https://github.com/Thiagolivramento/moodle-block_enrolmenttimer

Best!
