Omg, I was entering student by student manually! Thank you!

You are very welcome. Glad I could help.

Great tutorial! For names with Turkish characters ISO-8859-9 encoder should be used :)

How to edit html, js, css in bigBlueButton. Please guide, thanks.

[@teacherstudent7330]

Sorry, but again I don't know BigBlueButton. All I have is the development guide, but you probably already checked there. docs.bigbluebutton.org/development/api/#create

[@MurtazaAli-d9u]

@@teacherstudent7330 Thanks for your reply, Sir. Could you give me any reference of bigBlueButton developer. Thank You.

Hi there. Is there a way to have multiple institutions create their own account on my moodle site without them seeing all the users? If a school can see another schools' users list this would be a breach of privacy issue. Ideally, what I want is that each school would have their own private login and password so they only see their institution's user/participant list. Please advise. (Anyone can comment)

If I understand correctly, this will create new accounts for students who don't have moodle yet, but those who have accounts already will just be added to the course?

[@teacherstudent7330]

Hi, thanks for your question. It depends on what you select as upload type in the settings (13:30 in the video). If you select 'add new and update existing users' it will create accounts for new users and (if you have included that in the csv file) add them to courses. Users who already have an account get their details updated and also get added to the course as determined in the csv file. I hope that helps :)

So I have an issue where after loading the users, the users do not receive an email notification about their account, any ideas?

[@teacherstudent7330]

Thanks for your question. The main issue is usually that emails go into the spam folder. Did you check that with users?

@@teacherstudent7330 Hello, I have a similiar issue. When I add a new user and select the 'Generate password and notify user' option, an email gets sent to the user containing the generated password. However, if I bulk upload users and I leave the password column out, the users don't recieve emails even if the 'Create password if needed and send via email' option is selected.

[@teacherstudent7330]

Thank you for your comment. Are users able to receive other emails from your moodle site (for example announcement notifications)? It might be that the Cron jobs are not running correctly.

[@ynoor144]

@@teacherstudent7330 Hello, thank you so much for replying 😄. I think announcements take 30 minutes to get sent to users; so, I've tested messaging another user instead, and the recipient did receive an email containing my message. Does this confirm that cron-jobs are running correctly? Is there another way to check?

[@ynoor144]

@@teacherstudent7330 Update: I think you may be right, I just ran cron manually and an announcement that I created a while ago got sent to the user's email immediately after that. Also, I checked the notifications section in site administration and I found this warning "The admin/cli/cron.php script has not been run for 7 mins and should run every 1 min." How do I fix this issue? Any help would be really appreciated! 😀
