Description
In course/edit_form.php there is an IF statement, that displays the "cost" field only if default enrolment method is not "manual". It makes sense as the cost field is usually only used by PayPal or Authorize.net. However in some cases admins want to set the cost of the course even they have set default enrolment to "manual" - e.g. when they use "External DB enrolement" together with "Course ordering and invoicing" (http://docs.moodle.org/en/Course_ordering_and_invoicing).
At the moment there is no clean way how to force Moodle to always display course cost setting field with default enrolment plugin set to "manual". I consider this as a bug.

Hi David,
just guessing if, alternatively... you could create a new enrol plugin, call it "database_cost" or so that, simply, extends enrolment_plugin_database.
By adding the print_entry() function to it, you'll enable the cost to be showed for those courses using that extended enrolment plugin.
Of course, your solution is an alternative one, adding MD as watcher, to decide about it. Also, perhaps, we should enable this properly for 2.0 instead of current dependency of print_entry() function.
Ciao 
The solution included in the attached patch is to check $CFG->alwaysdisplaycoursecost. Admins who want display course cost in the setting form may simply set this variable in their config.php.
