[Closed] JomSocial + JSPT (JoomlaXI) Integration

On registration - it is common for schools to have both semester or yearly registration fees and "per course" fees. Registration fee is paid per student and is independent of the number of classes the student takes. Class fees are costs as per Moodle price entered into each course. Could the student registration fee just be added to VirtueMart or Tienda and selected like a course or T-shirt?


Would be better to force having Parents register first. That way they can accept user terms, agree to have oversight / control of student accounts, etc. before student registration. If child is under 14, the parent will need to own the student account as well.

Ok, I understand the semester setup now.
As for selling that throught VM or Tienda, I don't think it is possible, as you could not force users to buy the subscriptions.

I have never used AEC, so I don't know how it works, but I guess it does not let you use your account until you have paid the subscription. That is what could not be done in VM or Tienda.

A question: I inderstand that you use AEC to track semester fees. What do you use to pay for moodle course fees?

We use the PayPal payment system via Moodle today.

Ok, so now I guess you have to pay for each course individually, is that right?

Yes - many many complaints about that. Some users have had their PayPal accounts shut down during registration due to multiple payments of the same amount within a few minutes of each other - PayPal thinks it is fraud.

Sorry, I remembered reading about this, but thought it was another user Just checked and read our old conversation:

On the AEC side - that would be one piece of software we would like to streamline out of our system if we could. We do not charge fees for parents - only students. All student registrations expire at the same time so maybe there is a way to manually expire all students at end of the semester and somehow force the payment per student before allowing to register for the next semester. Is it possible to force this item into the shopping cart within Tienda?

I can't think of an easy way to do this without AEC.

Let's say you block all students accounts on each semester start.
A new type of product would need to be created in VM/Tienda, and all the logic in it to enable the accounts back when they are payed. If you start thing about the implications you end up having to build a system similar to AEC. So I guess it would be easier to just try to integrate AEC

OK - that is fine. AEC will continue to be in our Joomla portfolio...
