Auto enrol to a course after registering the site

Hi,
I have the following setup: moodle 1.9+, joomla 1.5, joomdle 0.7.
I have one course on moodle (free, open for guests).
I'm following the new user registration process and see that it's too long and complicated:
after registering through joomla, he enters the course and then he needs to answer some more questions (moodle fields).
Then, he needs to approve site policies and then he finds himself in the user info page...
He asked to enter the course and find himself in another page...

Two questions:
1. I wish the user be redirected to the course he chose to enter (also auto enroll to it - not everyone see the "enroll me" button). How can I configure my site to make it happen?
2. I propose (maybe on future versions) uniting the whole process into one form (jooma+moodle registration fields + site policies). When the user choose a course, he should be auto enroll (if it's free).

Thanks,
Lior

This united process is in place today, it is just a matter of configuring Joomdle to use the appropriate 3rd party extensions that you have chosen. For example in Moodle you are required to have certain user fields completed. This is the "rule" unless you hack Moodle to disable this requirement.

So if you register in Joomla that information must be entered somewhere, if not, Moodle will ask for it which is what I believe you are experiencing today. Thus if you want to simplify this process, ensure that during user registration, in Joomla, you collect the Moodle mandatory information up front so it can be passed down to Moodle.

How to collect the user information upfront? Using Jomsocial, CB, J1.6+ profile fields, Hikashop, VM, etc. Which ever one you use ensure the required information is collected and then configure Joomdle accordingly.

Thanks Cris,
What about the auto enrol issue?
How can I make the student redirect to the course after the site policies signup and auto enrol the course when he enters it for the first time?
Thanks
