moodle enrolement

This is probably easy when you know how

 

Trying to enroll some students in a course using flat file enrolment, made the file, can't figure out where in moodle to upload it.

[Butters]

Site Administration -> Courses -> Enrolments

 

Enable flatfile enrolment then edit the settings to specify where the Cron job picks up the file from.

yeah i've seen that, the website says the default is at

.../moodledata/1/enrolments.txt

 

but how do I put it there....? or anywhere else on the moodle server we dont control...?

Ahh you're in luck

 

/moodledata/1/enrolments.txt

 

Moodledata/1 always = site files

 

On Site Administration -> Front Page -> Site files

 

Put the file there and it should work fine, you will also need to convert the file to a .CSV and it has to be comma delimited.

have a CSV file and go to site admin>users>accounts>upload users and there will be a browse box for you to upload your file to -then Moodle will do the rest. Make sure you have the correct fields - if you want to upload them straight into a course then you need username,password,firstname,lastname,email,role,course1 where role is student and course1 is the shortname of the course you want to enrol them into
