Hi,
We are wanting to move one of our atutor courses to an 'always open' course.
eg. Course is available all the time
but students only have a limit time from signup to finish the course.
If this is posible, can we also set email reminders to go out at certain times? eg. 'You have 1 week left to complete your course' type thing?
This would probably be done on a fresh install of atutor on a linux server.

Currently ATutor doesn't store enrollment start dates. You'll need to create a DB table with fields [i]{member_id, course_id, timestamp}[/i] and put the code to insert into it and delete from it on appropriate pages.
Having that information, automatically unenrolling students and sending out reminders can be done by creating a simple module that uses ATutor's existing [i]cron[/i] capabilities.

knowledgelab,
Did you ever get this working? If so would you be prepared to share the code?
Thanks
Matt

Was this question addressed to me?
We didn't need this kind of feature, so I never got to implementing it.
