Hi Rosalyn,
Found this link over at the Moodle.org forums.

This worked perfectly for me. Thanks!

Cheers,

Hi Carl,

We are using the code developed by Eric Merrill. We are VERY happy with it and can’t thank Eric enough for creating it.

Also note that I removed the update. I think I had played with some other settings and that was why I couldn’t get LMB to enroll people.

Lastly I don’t have a script. But if you wanted to you could create a MySQL query that would change all of your courses to not enrollable.

Hope this helps.

Hi again Rosalyn,

I thought of one more thing to bug you about :)

We have over 1700 courses that were created with the enrollable setting turned on before we noticed it and now need to turn it off. Our Moodle host told us that we would have to go to the settings for each course and manually change the setting for all 1700! Similar to what you said, that is not a solution, that is a nightmare! Your first option is what we need to comb through the database and change that setting. If you have a script that could do that recursively and you would not mind sharing, it would save us a tremendous amount of work!

Thanks again!

Carl

Hi Rosalyn,

This is great and may save us a lot of work!

Could you tell me who wrote your integration piece between Banner and Moodle?

We have Moodle 1.9.2 (hopefully going to 1.9.5 very soon) and are using code created by Eric Merrill. We have not poked around in this code, but we thought that it was possibly his code that was making all our courses enrollable and I thought you might have some insight.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide!
