Moodle plugins directory: AutoEnrol

Thank you Roberto. I am able to get the AutoEnrol to work (avoid user action to enroll) when a user finds and opens a course, but not when logging in (regardless of the enrollment method settings or number of times logging in). I must be doing something wrong. But either way, such a great plugin and appreciate all of your work... but it's really not getting the user far enough down the road as they land in the LMS for the first time. I want the user to arrive on their initial screen (immediately after email registration) with the "enrolled courses" as tiles as the first thing they see. Thanks again for you support.

Mark and Roberto, thank you very much for this excellent plugin. It would be great if they could add the option to enroll a user when a new user is created, this in relation to the "Enrol When" function. At the same time, I consider that adding the possibility of combining several filters (in the "User Filtering" section) as conditions would make this plugin a very complete module. Thank you for your excellent work.

Hi Roberto, when do you plan on releasing a new version for v3.9?

Hi,
the current version could be used on Moodle 3.9.
I hope I could release soon a new version with new features. but now I can't tell you when.

Cheers,
Roberto

Thank you for your very helpful plugin!
Ihave it auto enrolling students to a course as they log in, (and it does so) but they can only see the relevant course (in My Courses on Dashboard) after doing a Shift-Refresh or logging out and back in.
Any ideas how I could have the "My Courses" recognise the enrollment quicker?
I'm using Moodle 3.8, Boost and Auto Enrol 3.8 on Windows 10, Firefox

Hello James,
this problem is not managed from autoenrol plugin but by moodle core that setups user data before finish user enrolments.
Today I worked hard to try to find a workaround to this problem and now I hope I found it.
I've already posted on Github a commit that seems to solve the problem. Please test it and let me know.

HTH,
Roberto

Hi,
is it possible to enter OR values in the "allow only" field?
I'd like to set up this:
Group by: email
Allow only: @xy.de OR @yz.com

Hi Natalie,
you can't do it in that field.
If you need to permit access with a OR logic you can setup more autoenrol instances with a single rule in each one.
Implement more complex rules is in the roadmap but I don't know when it will be released.

Tried using this in 3.9, it works on a single activity format however causes the activity to launch straight away. When changes to any other course format doesn't work.

Hello Paul,
can you explain what doesn't work? What's your expected behaviour?

Hello Mark and Roberto,
I installed the plugin in a moodle version 3.9, defined a course and associated with the course the enrollment mode "Auto Enrol", then that of the plugin.
In the plugin configuration, I defined in the "User Filtering" the "Group By" => "Department" and the "Allow Only" field => "3".
In the moodle there is a user where the Department field is = "3", but unfortunately when I do the login with that user, the course is not displayed. Did I forget to configure anything?
Thanks!

Hello Bruno,
if you set the autoenrol on login, the course is not shown at the first login in user Dashboard.
This happens because moodle call autoenrol after the Dashboard setup.
There is no way to change it so user will see new autoenrol course from the second login.

Hello Roberto,
thanks for the answer, but what you mean with "set the autoenrol on login", because I didn't done any explicitely action for that?
Anyway, even after the second/third...logins, the user don't see the course because it doesn't become enrolled.
Did you have any idea what I can check?
Thanks!

Hello Bruno,
if you did not set autoenrol on login, autoenrol works on course access.
You can set this and other advanced feature clicking on Expand All or Show more... links in autoenrol settings page.

Hello Roberto,
in the autoenrol settings page, I've set the following fields:
Role Student
Enrol When Logging into Site
Always Enrol Yes

and then Filtering:

Group By Department
Allow Only TestDip
Soft Match Yes
Limit 0

It's correctly configured?
