I got confirmation from the author of this plugin, Antonello Moro, that he is no longer supporting this plugin. So I don't think there will be an updated version for current versions of Moodle anytime soon.

Hi,
Thanks for your work.

There is an undocumented behaviour of this plugin, it resets the authentication method and various other data.

$user->lang = $CFG->lang;
$user->mnethostid = $CFG->mnet_localhost_id;
$user->auth = 'manual';
$user->confirmed = 1;
if (empty($user->city)) {
$user->city = "none";
}
if (empty($user->country)) {
$user->country = "no";
}

So in many scenarios these should be commented out to avoid unintended consequences.
Also, an option to only update data and not create new rows would be welcome; now commenting out code to do this produces errors to Moodle log.

There is an error on the plugin on the usersync.php file that prevents it from processing the hash on passwords passed with the CSV file. On line 480 you need to add an else statement. Without the else statement only the default password will be hashed.

It should look like this:

if (!property_exists($user, 'password')) {
$user->password = hash_internal_user_password($this->defpassowrd);
}else{
$user->password = hash_internal_user_password($user->password);
}

Regards,

Oscar

Hi Antonello,

Are the course, group and role fields available through this plugin. I was thinking about using this plugin to automatically enroll a user in a course and assign a role.

Thank you!

Hi,

This plugin sounds like one I could use (I'm using Moodle 3.3), but I still have a few questions:

- In the CSV file is there a field where I can set the password to be changed on the first sign-in?
- On the settings page I can see that you need to have the fields username , firstname, lastname, email, and import key. But what does the import key mean? Is it the password, or something else?
- If there are data changes and therefore the CSV has to be changed does it have to have all data in the CSV again, or can I just try to upload the new users and the users with changed data?
- What happens if I want to delete a user (for example the user left the group)? Can I do that with this plugin somehow?
- Can I set an upload method like I can do with manual user upload?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your comment. I think the cohorts are not handled yet, I will handle them in the next version. Meanwhile, could you please file a bug with detailed instructions on expected/actual behaviour and how to repro? That would help me a lot fixing it.
Thanks,
*A

Very nice plugin. I was playing with it in updating cohorts but it appears not to recognize the cohort1 field.
