Sync Data #1
When we sync with schools, the data in JOOMLA is updated including the adding of new students and changing detail of existing ones. The problem is how do we get JOOMDLE to auto-update as the database has been updated but a student has not saved anything to trigger an update.

Sync Data #2
Hi.

> When we sync with schools, the data in JOOMLA is updated including the adding of new students and changing detail of existing ones.

How is this sync done? It is a process that happens outside Joomla?
How often does this happen?

Depending on the process, there are 2 possible approaches:
- Modify the process to call the Joomdle sync process
- Write some independent code to call it after you have done the sync with the schools. This code would loop through all the students, syncing to Moodle. It's not very good, because it will need to sync all students, not only those with changes (as it doesn't know who they are)
