This plugin is designed to facilitate bulk duplication or copying of courses within a platform, based on pre-established configurations. It allows administrators to quickly replicate entire courses, including their structure and content, without the need to recreate each course manually.
Process Overview
- Upload CSV File: Administrators can upload a CSV file specifying the details of the courses they wish to duplicate.
- Validation: After uploading, the plugin performs validations to ensure that only correctly configured courses are duplicated.
- Generate Tasks: Once validated, users can generate the respective adhoc tasks with a single click.
Afterward, the cron job or specific launcher for adhoc tasks will handle the rest.
Usage Instructions
- Upload a CSV file containing the following fields:
Field | Description |
---|---|
copyshortname |
Refers to the shortname of the course from which you want to copy. |
fullname |
Is the name or fullname of the new course. |
shortname |
Is the shortname of the new course. |
category |
Is the category id for the new course. |
visible |
Indicates whether the new course should be visible or not. Use 1 for visible, 0 for hidden. |

- After uploading, a series of validations will be performed.
