Updating Course #2

Closed liveaspankaj closed 12 years ago

liveaspankaj commented 12 years ago

Hi

I love this tool, it has made creating a course really unbelievably simple in moodle.

I wanted to change few things in the courses and I was not able to find the way to update a course. Can you please guide how to update the courses.

This info in the Readme.txt would be great. So, once you give me a slight hint on how to update courses. I would be able to update and send an updated Readme for you to commit if that helps everyone.

Regards,

Hi - The update process works much the same as for the user upload program, so you set the upload type to "update existing courses only". Courses must match on the shortname.

If you feel like writing some instructions, then I will be happy to include them in the README.

Cheers, Piers Harding.

Thanks for super quick response. Seems like, I was missing on the other options. Existing course details: Overide with file and Allow Renames: Yes. But your response gave me what i needed to believe that I can update courses :)

I have updated the readme here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5h9g0ovdxzlv4ft/UploadCourse%20README.txt

Below is the text that i added, feel free to twist it as you like.

Update Course: |================= Make sure you have shortname in the csv. After uploading the file, select: Upload type: one of the update existing related options Existing course details: Overide with file Allow Renames: Yes

Update example: fullname,shortname new full name,short1

Again, super thanks. You have created an amazing stuff and I really appreciate your efforts to contribute this to the Moodle community.

Regards' Pankaj
