Hi,

I've got a question regarding manual enrolments, respectively unenrollment when removed from all seminar events.

I often use the manual enrolments as enrolments' method, but when an user is removed from all seminer events, that user is not unrolled from the course. This functionality is only possible with the seminar direct enrolment method, but not the manual enrolment….

Does someone have an idea how to make it possible for manual enrolments?

Many thanks!

Greating from Geneva/Switzerland

Kia ora Patrick

Seminars are activities so you aren't enrolling in a course when booking a seminar. Removing the user from the seminar activity doesn't unenrol the user from the course.

The direct seminar enrolment method is used to bridge the gap and make enrolment in the course automatic when booking a seminar and also deleting seminar unenrolling from the course.

The manual and other enrolment method doesn't have the link to seminars

Maybe a workaround would be to use the self enriolment method for the course and have seminar approval set and then use on eof the options such as unenrol if inactive for a specified time.

Hi!

So great to receive an answer from New Zealand! I've been there 3 months, what a nice country!

Regarding our topip :-), that's a pitty that manual and other enrolment methods do not have the link to seminars. Because in our context, once the user is enrolled in a course, he doesn't appear anymore in our audience (set with enrolment in the course as enrollement in a seminar is not possible I think).

Anyway, thank you for your reply,

Best regards from Switzerland.

Patrick

Hi Patrick

Something that may help that has just been added to 19.1 is seminar information that can be used by external API to enable seminar bookings to be made by external apps with GraphQL queries
