Description

« Hide

Since the metacourses allow normal users to manually enrol bug was fixed in Moodle 1.5.3, any guest user trying to access a metacourse which has been set to allow guest access with an enrolment key now get the error message This course does not allow public access, i.e. the same message a logged in user trying to manually enrol on the course would get.

As a bit of an aside I think this error message is slightly confusing for the user anyway, and would be much friendlier if it could read something along the lines of This course only allows access to students already enrolled on: (list of this metacourse's child courses).

I am amazed to find out that this issue has still not been resolved in moodle 1.9.4.
For my daily use of Moodle it is a critical issue, because I do need "guests with a key" to be able to access a metacourse.
OR, if this is absolutely impossible, then at least the "allow guests with the key" parameter should be removed from the metacourse courses settings, since it is not fucntional and leads to confusion...
Hope a fix will be found soon,
Joseph

Hi !

I'ts been 4 years I've been happily working with Moodle, I know no other sensitive problem which has been so persistent : all my learning pathes are meta-courses crowded with class-portal courses.

We are aware that Moodle 2.0 development is a hard and of high value task, but we'll be many to need Moodle 1.9.x for some time...

Thanks.
