Hello

we have the problem that more than 50% of the invited participants do not receive the emails.

It seems that most of the problems occur with Gmail recipients - but also some others.

Has anyone (had) the same problem?

I would appreciate any advice.

Hello
I've successfuly installed plugin, added it to test course, sent invite to non registered test email, received this email and followed invite link (clicked Accept invitation button). But after it i see standart login page where i should input login and password. Can you tell, what configs I missed? Or may be you can tell the direction where i should check logs or smth else?

New users will still need to create an account to register on the site. However, once they do that using the link in the email, they will automatically be enrolled in the course.

If you are not seeing the option on the login page to create a new account, that option may need to be enabled on your site.

Is there a way to implement user access without creating an account? I mean, the invited users already have their user information within the course ( in participants) and invitation is sent to their email addresses. And each invitation contains a unique link. It would be great if user could just click the unique link and access the course. Since this unique link is created for spesific email address, there could be a matching in background without asking user to create an account. And this makes training process easier. Because users are already not willing to get trainings and when there is one additional step (like creating account) between user and training , users become more resistant.

Hi Boris,

There is a way for sure. Just make your course available to guests and have them automatically login as guest. This functionality is all built into Moodle.

Then simply email them a link to the course. They won't need to login at all and no extra plugins required.

This will have some limitations though. Since they won't have an account, there will be no way to track their course progress or completion. Some activities, like a quiz require you to be logged in so those won't work either.

Hope you find this helpful.

Best regards,

Michael

Hi!

How can a user immediately add a group?

Alex, unfortunately that functionality does not yet exist.

Hello, i try to invite a few user but the user didnt receive the email, do i missing something?

Hi Mohammad,

It is hard to guess at why the user did not receive the email. You might want to take a look at an article that I wrote last month on the subject. See https://www.elearningworld.org/moodle-lms-email-deliverability-in-2024-best-practices-authentication-standards-and-troubleshooting/

You can also contact me directly for premium support.

Hi Michael,

Is there anyway that this plugin could be used at site level to invite for registration? Would some changes to the plugin be helpful in this case?

Thanks a lot,

Hi Ezzeddin,

Why not just email them a link to the site or to the site registration page? I am not clear on where you are going with your idea. Could you elaborate?

Best regards,

Michael

ULTRA MISLEADING
"It also supports inviting users even if they are not yet registered on your Moodle LMS site and limiting the lifespan of the invitation."

For those considering this plugin, out of the box it only sends invite emails to users already registered in moodle.

NO REGISTERED EMAIL = NO INVITE EMAIL SEND

1. Documentation does not provide any information on how this plug supports inviting users even if they are not registered. So why claim
"You can invite users who do not yet have an account. However, they will need to create an account before they can accept the invitation."

Either this worked on other versions, or explain yourself please.

Hi Barea,

Thank you for sharing your concerns. However, the Invitation plugin has been widely used across over 600 Moodle LMS sites around the world on 15 different major releases of Moodle LMS since it was first created 13 years ago, and it's unlikely that this issue would have gone unnoticed. If you have questions or need clarification, please feel free to ask for help. Let's maintain a respectful conversation. Please refrain from making unfounded claims to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. If the discussion becomes unproductive, I will involve the moderator.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Michael,

I am sorry, I seem to have missed your comment no 83079 dated Fri, Mar 29, 2024.

The purpose is to use it for users to register on the site without being enrolled in courses, just the registration with key.

The base idea was to allow 2 registration forms, one is based on the domain of the email, which is easy to set in Moodle while the other is based on invitation by any user who has the domain based email registration, I thought to substitute this with just a form with a key.

I hope this provides a clear idea. So the question, is there anything easy to change to make the invitation work for registration at site level?

Thanks a lot,

Hi Ezzeddin,

Registration (authentication) at a site level would be a completely different plugin type. You would need an Authentication plugin. Enrolment plugins only allow you to enrol in courses, not create and authencate users on a site. There might be some parts of the code which could be reused but unfortunately most of it would need to be different.

If you already know who you will need an account for on the site, why not just create the users?

Whether you enter it or the user does, users will need to have an account on the Moodle site which includes their first name, last name and email address. If you think about it, how could Moodle track a user's progress if it doesn't know who they are?

If you don't need to track user progress, do quizzes, complete feedback forms and activities like that, you could make a course open to guest account and enable automatic login so that it would be completely transparent to them.

Another approach is to find a plugin that lets you create tokens. This can be useful if you need to sell or otherwise allocate a specific number of seats to an organization before the users have been identified. As you assign a token, you enter the required infornation and the user is sent an email that includes a link to log in. Here is an authentication plugin that may be of interest to you:

Hope you find this information helpful.
