Users corrupted when made in Moodle

I have two issues outlined here. I have made a video of each but here is a brief explanation.
1) Users created in Moodle become corrupted and unusable by both Moodle and Joomla when they are converted to Joomdle. Here is a 4 minute video of what I did and its results.

2) Users created in Joomla seem to work OK, but that user is not able to use the Moodle login feature at all. Maybe this is on purpose. Here is a 3 minute video of this issue.

Any guidance with these two issues would be great.

Hi.

I guess you mean that when you make a user "a joomdle user", he can no longer login from Moodle. That is expected behaviour.
Joomdle users can only login from Joomla.

About the first video: when you migrate a moodle user to joomla, yo should receive an email from joomla, with a new password to enter the system.
As moodle passwords are crypted, we can not recover moodle one to use in joomla.

Thanks for the quick response. I am glad to hear that it is working the way it is supposed to.
I have around 500 Moodle users that I would like to move to Joomdle, but I would like to do it without sending them the emails. Is there a way that I could set a default password and then force a password change when they first login? I assume that will be too hard. I am pretty good at coding, but am exceptionally new to this extension.

Thanks for a great application.

I followed the documentation here
and was able to get it working with about 2 hours of work.

can you help me?

Hi.

I understand that you would set the same password for all users and then tell it to them (for example putting it on the site) so they could log in. Then they should be redirected to their profile page for changing their password.

Joomla has no built-in password expiry tools, so this would need to involve either:
- add it directly to joomdle
- leverage some other extensions, such as:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-...ty/site-access/10413

Any of those would require some joomdle coding, but not that much. If using option 2, I think you would only need to modify the code where the user is set a new random password when migrated to joomdle, so instead you would set your default password. A one-line mod if I am not missing something, which I probably do
