Hence, you need to repeat this process two times. First you need to create a token for default Moodle mobile web service. Thereafter, you need to create the token for custom created service.

Subsequently, after the token creation, you can use them in the module configuration.

After the successful installation of the module the admin can configure it under “Store > Configuration > Moodle Connector”.

Connect Settings:

Moodle Base Url – Here admin will enter the base URL of the Moodle.

Access Token – Here enter the default token of Moodle mobile web service.

User Token – Here enter the user token created for customer service.

Check API  Status –  Here admin check the API status.

Product Settings:

Attribute Set ID – Select the respective attribute set id for the Moodle courses(Adobe Commerce products).

Website ID – Select the website where the courses(Magento products) will be created.

Moodle Role Id – Enter the role id for which you want to create the enrolment in Moodle after purchasing the course in Adobe Commerce Cloud Store.

Default Price – Here the admin can enter the default price of paid courses.

Set Default Price When Product Updated – If the admin enables this option, then it sets the default price on product update else not.

For Example,

—> If the imported course does not exist in Adobe Commerce, it creates in Magento with the Moodle attributes and the default price.

–> If the course already exists in Adobe Commerce Cloud, then skip the default price if it is set as NO because the product has already its price. In this case, the price of the product will remain the same set by the user.

Note:

• You can get the Moodle Role id of the user from Moodle.

Navigate to  Site administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles select a role and from the URL you can get the role id. As in the below image, the role id for Student is 5.

Default price – Enter the default price for the courses (Adobe Commerce products) which will assign to the course when it will create in Adobe Commerce Cloud. Later on, the admin can update it as per the requirement.
