Even after specifying "View Course" for both guests and students, students still cannot view the course.
Having enrolled at the enrollment page using a key, the enrollment page just remains stuck in a perpetual loop. defaultuserroleid has been set to student to allow students to be able to view courses. However, having set this option, anyone logged into moodle has access to all available courses in moodle and there is no need for an enrollment key. Also linked to another one that8379 is l inked to. Seems like this has not been resolved although it has been around for a while.
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, My links/sources which you can also try if above does not work for you discussion only: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=79744 *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] tracker: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-8379 *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. [I never figured out what he meant or how to reload a role] duplicate issue 2 http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-8403;jsessionid=23929BD26F677F22E07B1E79E61FC240 *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] duplicate issue 3 http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-11520 *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 |

Bug
Open
Major
Users cannot make it past course enrollment page. Enrollment is successful, but teacher/student is just looped back to enrollment page and can never view the course.

It sounds like defaultcourseroleid is set to guest. Go to Users -> Permissions -> User Policies and set it to student. That should fix your problem.
