Description

This enhancement has been requested through Moodle HQ.

User would like and enrolment plug-in that creates a group for each new user.

scenario:
Administrator activates the new enrolment plugin at course settings.

New user finds a course that they want to enrol in. User creates user account. At that point the plugin automatically creates a group (groupname=username) and places that user into the group.

[the need for this functionality is so users can manually grade their own quizzes (and not see others)]

I added this plugin to Moodle contrib. To find it, use this cvs command:

cvs -z3 co contrib/plugins/enrol/manualgroup/

This plugin on CVS doesn't work in MOODLE_18_STABLE. (because the groups_create_group is different between 1.9 and 1.8)

I found more differences between 1.8 and 1.9, that's why my last attchement doesn't work on your server. This attachement should be no problems now (1.8).

How to use it?

1. Unzip this file, you should get folder named "manualgroup", there are several files in this folder: enrol.php, config.html, etc
2. Copy "manualgroup" folder to moode/enrol/
3. enable this plugin "Site Administration">courses>Enrolments->Manual Grouping.
4. If you want use this enrol plug-in throughout the whole site, you should click "Default", otherwise, go to the course setting, change your enrollment setting.

No. The plugin is available in the drop down list of enrolment plugins, but when I enrol a new user in the course a group is not created. Was hoping to talk to you in the office today but understand you have exams and won't be in until Thur. I'll do some more testing and talk to you then.

Please change the name of this plug-in to "Automatic Grouping" - it better describes what the plug-in does.

Reopening, as this needs a modules and plugins database entry and some documentation. Please let me know if I can help with either of these things.
