Admin tools: 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]
e.g.
;operation,method,shortname,parent course shortname or cohort idnumber,disabled,group[,role]
add,meta,CS101-2345,Computing-Year3,1,CS101,student
upd,meta,CS101-2344,Computing-Year1,0,CS101,editingteacher
Lines beginning with a '#' or ';' character are comments, and skipped.
Each line of the file contains one record.
Each record is a series of data in a fixed order separated by commas.
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.

When I try to deploy my csv, I always have this error (Note : I have 6 columns in my file) :
Ligne 1: Too few columns, expecting 6. Sauté.
Ligne 2: Too few columns, expecting 6. Sauté.
Have you an idea ?
Thanks
Alain
Thank you, it's ok with comma !
But I still have an error message ("Line 1 [operation enrolment method]: Invalid operation.") but however creation is ok.

As already mentionned it would be nice to have:
- ; instead of ,
- a field to define the course role like "student" or "teacher"
In my case I need a cohort to be defined as "manager" because to be able to send a mail to a manager (Attendance warnings for example), they need to be registered as users but not with a "student" role.
