Upload enrolment methods
This plugin is an enhanced version of the Upload Metacourse links block plugin on which it is based. It also provides a good work-around for a long-standing issue with the Course upload facility whereby enrolment methods are not fully supported.
Use the command Site administration > Plugins > Enrolments > Upload enrolment methods to upload a CSV file containing lines of the form:
operation, enrolment method, target course shortname, parent course shortname or cohort idnumber, disabled, group[, role]
Note that version 1.2.x requires fields in a fixed order (as above) with no heading line, but version 1.3.0. now supports an initial heading line, and allows you specify the delimiter, e.g.
operation,method,shortname,metacohort,disabled,group[,role]
add,meta,CS101-2345,Computing-Year3,1,CS101,student
upd,meta,CS101-2344,Computing-Year1,0,CS101,editingteacher
Each line of the file contains one record.
Each record is a series of data in any order separated by a specified delimiter.
All fields are required, except role, which is optional for
backwards compatibility.
The allowed operations are add, del(ete), and upd(ate).
The allowed methods are 'meta' and 'cohort'.
The allowed disabled status values are 0 (enabled) and 1 (disabled).
The group field is the name of a group into
which enrolled students should be placed. It will be created if it doesn't already exist.
The role field must be a valid role name such as editingteacher, student, etc.
This plugin enhances the original in that it is possible to disable existing enrolment methods in batch mode, and also that it can add an enrolment method to a course but leave it disabled.

Thank you for the great tool Eoin
I've install the plugin and it works fine.
I've a question/suggesion:
Now, use this plugin is only possible for "Site Administrator".
Is there now a solution to allow this plugin for "site manager"?
If no, my suggestion is to do that in a future version
Just wondering whether something can be tweaked to accompany two cohort syncs adds in one go via .csv file?
Currently when doing this, it says the enrolment method already used and will not enrol the second cohort sync group.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks
Sorry for the delay in replying. Basically we have multiple roles in our system in which we would like to allocate by using this method.
Exam1 with student-cohort with role "RS" and "RI" these roles are different in their nature but have the required outcome.
Because you cannot specify multiple roles in the upload without a second line. It says the "enrolment method already linked to course" pops up rejecting the action.
Example 1 which works.
Operation,method,shortname,metacohort,disabled,role
add,cohort,Test1,Student-cohort,0,rs
add,cohort,Test2,Student-cohort,0,rs
Example 2 which fails
Operation,method,shortname,metacohort,disabled,role
add,cohort,Test1,Student-cohort,0,rs (Have also tried combinations of rs,ri in this line) nothing seems to work.
add,cohort,Test1,Student-cohort,0,ri
I hope this makes sense.
Kind Regards,
Dean
Worked for a cohort method but in the metacohort column :
Fail with cohort ID
Success with cohort short name

I'm running Moodle 3.11 with the latest version of UploadEnrolmentMethods (v 1.3.4)
I'm using UploadEnrolmentMethods (v.1.3.4), and Moodle 3.9.10
Do you have any ideas?
thanks for this great plugin. It saves SO MUCH time!!

Thank you so much for this plugin. It's been of great help for my team. However, while doing QA processes around the define roles functionality, the below warning came out. Another user reported this back in October 2021, and would like to add that adding the missing strings to the plugin's language file solve the warning.

Solution: Add the below to the tool_uploadenrolmentmethods.php
$string['uploadenrolmentmethods:add'] = 'Add/Upload enrolment methods';
$string['uploadenrolmentmethods:delete'] = 'Delete enrolment methods';
Kind regards,
Jose
