command to download all the courses the user can see

[sds100]

Could you add a command to download all the courses the user can SEE and not just ones they are enrolled in since I can see other courses on my moodle, which I'm not enrolled in?

That would be fine, but it is very unusual to download courses in which you are not enrolled.

Especially because by default you can't see the course content without registering, the admin has to change some settings to make this possible.

Currently I don't have time to implement this, but you can currently try to force the downloader to download a course by modifying the following code.
In this file moodle_connector/moodle_service.py

There, in line 90, all courses you are enrolled in are selected.
courses = results_handler.fetch_courses(userid)

You can add courses manually immediately afterwards.

Like this:

courses = results_handler.fetch_courses(userid)
courses.append(Course(2342, 'Ein Kurs', []))

Where the first parameter of Course is the id of the course, the second the name of the course and the 3rd must be an empty list.

This should work as long as you have read access to the course.

Yeah it is unusual. 😂 Thank you for the instructions! I'll have a go myself.

You can have a look in results_handler.fetch_courses and make a similar function for all courses...

You get a list of all courses in your moodle by calling:

https://moodle.uni.de/webservice/rest/server.php?moodlewsrestformat=json&wsfunction=core_course_get_courses_by_field&wstoken=c3703dcyour_token2e2eb46ba942a0

If there are a lot of courses on your moodle, it will not make you happy... because it takes a very long time.

To filter the list, you should first ask for the catagories... and then filter by category.

https://moodle.uni.de/webservice/rest/server.php?moodlewsrestformat=json&wsfunction=core_course_get_categories&wstoken=c3703dcyour_token2e2eb46ba942a0

https://moodle.uni.de/webservice/rest/server.php?moodlewsrestformat=json&wsfunction=core_course_get_courses_by_field&wstoken=c3703dcyour_token2e2eb46ba942a0&field=category&value=437

With the help of the enrollmentmethods you can see if you can read the course content.

First steps have been taken for this issue :D
Check out Issue #71 for related work.

Cool! 😀

[C0D3D3V]

you can now use moodle-dl --add-all-visible-courses
It is released, you are welcome :)

Is that okay or did you imagine it differently?
