Moodle proper

The proper tool rewrites user names and user fields so a site can have more or less a policy how to write names. When using self registration, some users are using capitals, some do not know the existence of the shift button. With this plugin, after a new user registration, the enabled fields are automatically changed into lowercase, UPPERCASE, Propercase, or simply ignored.

Warnings

• The proper admin tool does write immedately in the datatabase. Take a backup before using this plugin.
• The proper function is not perfect, it has no idea about naming pecularities.
• This plugin is 100% open source and has NOT been tested in Moodle Workplace, Totara, or any other proprietary software system. As long as the latter do not reward plugin developers, you can use this plugin only in 100% open source environments.
