Is there any plan to upgrade this great plugin for mdl 2.7 ?

I hope there is plans to update this for 2.7 its perfect for my organisation. I have been using it on 2.5 but now we are in a position to upgrade and it would be a huge blow for this not to work now!!
regards Gary

Hi folks,

I've added a new version of the plugin for Moodle 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8. Any problems please just let me know either via email or here in the comments.

Thanks!

Thank you for this! it solves my enrolment problems
regards Gary

This plugin works great for automatically enrolling. Should it also automatically un-enroll a student once the variable is removed from the account?

Hi Bryce,

The filtering only works on values as they are at the time. If you're looking for a more dynamic link I'd recommend using the cohort enrolment method.

All the best

Mark, I don't understand. I add a word to the "Department" section of the test student account. I then setup the AutoEnrol plugin to add any account with that word in the "Department" field. The autoenrol works. However, I edit the test student account and remove that word from the "Department" field. I log back in and the account is still enrolled in the course. I need it so the account is removed from the course if that word is not in that field. Does it not work that way?

Hi Bryce,

You are correct, it doesn't unenrol users when their information no longer matches the filter. I can appreciate why you would want it to work like that but simply put the plugin wasn't designed around a protected course but rather a more public course which you want to get users enrolled onto as easily as possible.

I've started a discussion (see link below) which outlines my thoughts on taking this forward. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what I am proposing.

Thank you, Mark. That makes sense. Thank you for creating a discussion forum about it. I will definitely participate and subscribe to it.

Hi Samuel,

I've set up a ticket for you on the issue tracker for this plugin:

https://github.com/markward/enrol_autoenrol/issues/7

So far I havent been able to reproduce the problem so I am going to need some more information from you. If you could sign up for a GitHub account and answer a couple of questions that would be great.

Thanks

Mark
