A local plugin which automatically assigns enrolled users on a course into groups
dependant upon information within their user profile. (Now with custom profile field support - called User Info Field in settings.)
This plugin will create, update, and delete groups automatically
to match the users on your course. All behaviour is event-driven
and so will occur within page loads.
The system can also monitor manual group setting changes and
moderate them to ensure that groups are kept neat and tidy.

Thanks again,
It installed well, but when trying to add it to a course it returns errors:
Debug info:
Error code: codingerror
Stack trace:
line 21 of /lib/outputrenderers.php: core\exception\coding_exception thrown
line 32 of /local/autogroup/renderer.php: call to require_once()
line 41 of /local/autogroup/manage.php: call to require_once()
Is there anything that I can do to fix it quickly.
Thanks,
We'll release an official update soon. In the meantime you can apply the patch from the following commit : https://github.com/emmarichardson/local_autogroup/commit/266bb5f6261895793703d70200965851f01c2405
Thanks for the update, as per the github discussion at https://github.com/emmarichardson/local_autogroup/issues/58, I confirm that it is working fine for Moodle 4.5.
Under "Versions" tab, it shows support to 4.3, does it need to update supported versions. The name of the file also says "43.
Thanks again,
One specific question: I see a comment from several years ago from Emma, "you haven't added it to the existing course - setting it at the site will only affect new courses. You have to set it up on existing courses." But I cannot see how/where to add it to an existing course.
Thanks, John
