Moodle

Same issue. Only admin can get into any class. Course creator, teacher, students receive repeated enrolment key requests. Moodle 1.7.1+ (2006101010) MySQL 5.0.27, PHP 5.2.0, WAMP1.6.6.

It seems that if you reload the mdl_role_capabilities table the whole enrolment process starts to work again fine, I have attached a default copy of said table, I hope this helps out a little.

Is this a problem in Moodle 1.8 as well?

It doesnt seem to be a problem in 1.8.1 or 1.8

Running clean install of 1.8.4 and working fine for a month and similar issue started last week.

• Guest can enter a course using the enrollment key (course set to allow guest who have the key)

• Students cannot enroll in a course with the key - page keeps displaying enter enrollment key.

• Students (some teachers) who are already enrolled (show as participants) are being asked for the enrollment key - but key loop prevents them from entering the course.

I'm having the same issue with 1.9. No student can enroll even without the enrollment key. Martin suggested a solution but I need to know how to do it exactly. What does he mean by "t seems that if you reload the mdl_role_capabilities table the whole enrolment process starts to work again fine, I have attached a default copy of said table, I hope this helps out a little. "

This is a major issue. My 1.9 is just installed. The only thing I added was questionnaire which I have since properly uninstalled but it has not helped. Another suggestion from someone was to change their role permissions to include "inspector" but I can't find this permission. Could you please comment. I'm training 70 teacher today on Moodle and this is going to kill my moodle program.

Solved! Here is the setup that worked for me: I know this is long but better than a short solution that does not explain it or other things to try.

1. Site level: users/permissions/user policies and changing default roles for:

All users: authenticated

Users in a course: Student (this was the kicker, without it, it returns them endlessly to key request but never lets them in. )

Note: My visitors and guests are both are set as guests

2. Site level: users/permissions/define roles Here, changing it will negate solution above which I had to change back for above settings to work.

Student: view course (set as default)

Guest: view course (set as default)

Authenticated user: Not Set. Keep it that way or all users above allows them to see all courses and does not ask for a key.

Course/settings

Default role: Student NOT authenticated user.

Enrollment key if desired,

*suggestion, 'Only way round this is to allow students extra permissions such as inspector' which no one figured out what he meant.

*check in course enrollments are allowed

*try changing course key [did not help]

*allow guests with a key [did not help me but worked for one]

*It sounds like defaultcourseroleid is set to guest. Go to Users -> Permissions -> User Policies and set it to student. That should fix your problem. [this got me thinking]

*It's working now after specifying "View Course" for both guests and students, so I don't think this is a bug. Howevever I don't understand why it should be necessary to specify this; it should be default. [already set by default unless you changed it - messed me up when I applied it to authenticated users]

*suggested allow guests in without key which I did not desire

If my solution does not work for you, try using excel and use each of the variables below going down and then what values you choose for each scenario. Write what effect you see and change just one at a time. This helped me solve the problem and reproduce it to be sure.

Effect notes at top of each column

site default role user

site default role for students in a in course

site define student role able to view courses

site define guest role to view courses

site define authenticated user to view courses

Course default role

Enrollment key required

allow guests in

Good Luck

please upgrade to latest 1.9.x, the 2.0 enrolment code was completely rewritten
thanks for the report
