Add Moodle System roles automatically

Hi there,
For our site, I really want to be able to automatically add users to Moodle system roles based on their Joomla group.
e.g. Users in the Joomla Staff group are automatically added to the Teacher system role in Moodle.

I've been Googling around for a while but I cannot see any way to do this.

I did find a post from 4 years ago for Joomdle 0.25 here:
www.joomdle.com/forum/feature-requests/3...for-moodle-in-joomla
where it was said it was "added for next release"

Was this ever added, do you know? And if so, how would I use it?

Thank you!

Edit: I am currently on Joomdle 0.94, but updating to 1.0 tomorrow.
Joomla is 3.3.6 and Moodle is 2.7.2

Hi.

I don't really know what that linked topic talks about, but it is not what you need, as that is not available in Joomdle. I checked to be sure, and we don't have any web services to add system roles, only to add course roles.

So, if I understand it right, what you woul need is a way to map Joomla user groups and Moodle system roles.
For this, some things would be needed:
- Create new webservice in Moodle to assign system roles
- Create new component in Joomla to define group-role relationships
- Create new user plugin, that runs when user is saved, and checks user groups, calling web service to add system role if needed

Before, you would need to pay for custom development of all this. But now we have moved to a subscriptions system.
If we were to develop this, it would be added as a download for members only.
For you, you would get what you need for only the cost of a 1-year subscription, much cheaper than paying for full development.
Please let us know if you are interested.

That sounds really good, thank you!
Have just got permission from the higher-ups to sign up for a 1-year subscription, so I'll go ahead and sign up now

Edit: Done!

Hi Andy, thanks for subscribing.

I will work on the new code, and will contact you by emai to send you the packages when they are ready, so you can test them before release.

Amazing thank you
