The block can be included by the admin on the main page. The block offers a link to the plugin settings. The block defines a capability for using the settings form. So you can give other roles access to the plugin. By Default only the admin has access. In the form you can set the path and filename of the input file. It must be within the moodledata. The path should be given relative to the moodledata.
The csv field delimiter has to be the ';'.

NOTE: In Github we use an empty master branch. The different plugin versions can be found in special branches for each Moodle version.

Hi Benjamin,
Just stopping by to quick ask, did you want a component in tracker for this?
also the conventions for repository naming are like
moodle-{component}_{pluginname}

The repository URL does not contain valid link - the referenced repo at https://github.com/eledia/block_eledia_suspenduser is empty. May I ask for fixing this? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for this hint. I think i need to improve the description here with additional information. On the docs.moodle.org page you can find a note about that:

NOTE: In Github we use an empty master branch. The different plugin versions can be found in special branches for each Moodle version.

I will add this note to the description here.

Thanks, I have some questions
1)not regarding the plugin, but the file, how to create the .csv file periodically?
2) when the suspended users become active again will the plugin re-activate them?
thanks

1) The plugin only processes the file. There is no solution here to generate it periodically. I guess you could use the configurable reports plugin to generate lists according to your needs, by using custom sql and filters. But i am not sure if you can do this automatic in background.

2) There is no criteria which could tell the plugin the user is active again. So the plugin has no option to do this. Keep in mind that a suspended user cant login. So he cant be active again from his own. He must be un-suspend by administration manually.

I installed the plugin, did the upgrade and added the config file location into the settings form. That all seems fine, but I don't see any new cron entry showing up in Scheduled Tasks - either in the Web UI or CLI. Currently using Moodle 3.2.1. Any hints on how to get the task to run?

This is an older Plugin an still uses the old cron function. It does not have an own task and runs within the \legacy_plugin_cron_task once each day.
