We just upgraded one of our clients sites that makes extensive use of the meta-course enrolment feature combined with ‘nosyncroleids’ from 1.9 to 2.2\u00a0 – they use meta-courses to enrol their students but use manual enrolments for their teachers so the teacher role was set in ‘nosyncroleids’ – during the upgrade these manual enrolments for teachers seem to have been corrupted – after upgrade the users show as “enrolled” using meta-enrolment but don’t have any roles in their courses. This seems strange as in the 1.9 site they were “manual” enrolments.<\/p>\n

It looks like Petr Skoda may have fixed this as part of MDL-29684<\/a> but this is only fixed in master, not the stable branches. (and I haven’t tested it)<\/p>\n

And unfortunately as the sync process has already screwed up the enrolments on the courses, simply applying the patch to the clients 2.2 site wouldn’t work – the only way it seems it might work would be to revert back to the 1.9 site and re-run the upgrade with the patch in place – or manually go through each course and fix the enrolments. Unfortunately we didn’t notice this early enough and the site was already being used so the client is now going through each course and manually fixing the enrolments for their teachers (time-consuming and frustrating!)<\/p>\n

IMO this sort of issue should be back-ported but hopefully this post might help prevent others from experiencing the same pain!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
