I work for a multinational organization that is looking at deploying Moodle as our Enterprise-wide LMS. But in order to do so we need the ability of being able to have groups created from additional attributes within LDAP. I have made some modifications and additions to pull these additional attributes from LDAP for the creation of the GROUPS. These GROUPS reside outside of the course. The structure of GROUPS will be as follows; Within each Region there are a number of countries. Within each Country there are Branchs (offices) Within each Branch are users. I was able to add within /moodle/auth/ldap.php the following additional containers to which data mapping to LDAP was enabled. Once I created these fields I then added two new records for storage of the attributes from LDAP. Once the data mapping was completed and I verified that it (mdl_user) populated to the table. I then added the labels to the moodle.php file within the English language module. I then modified the /admin/user.php file which once completed would be renamed groups.php. I removed the email element from the form. I then added the Region and Branch elements. The only item that I am missing is the data from mdl_user for the two attributes above. It is within the table but I will not display on the form for the users that have been updated. I would like to ask which file would I need to modify inorder to retrieve the data from the table to display it on the form???? I have posted several times within the forums but have not recieved any responses, I have had to pretty much figure this out on my own. It has been fun for me but now I am running into a snag and need to present the groups page to management. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Apart from working within this organization I am also an Adjunct Professor for a local college here and am in the process of recommending our move from eCollege to Moodle. I currently use it for my onground classes. Thank you all.
