Configure Profile Sync between Wicket and Moodle

The user addresses and phone numbers saved in Moodle profiles are not accessible through the Moodle API. To sync these values with Wicket, custom fields will need to be created for the profiles, following these steps:

1. Go to “User profile fields” located under the "Users > Accounts" sub-menu in the Site Administration section (/user/profile/index.php).
   
   
   
   
2. Click “Create a new profile category,” enter “Contact Information” as the Category name, then click “Save changes.”
   
   
   
   
3. Create the custom fields for contact information: The following fields will need to be created in the “Contact Information” section.

• Phone Type
• Primary Phone
• Address Type
• Street Address
• Apt / Suite
• City
• State/Province Code
• Zip/Postal Code
• Country
  
  To create each field, click “Create new profile field” located at the bottom of the page and choose the corresponding type for each field:

4. Lock user fields: To avoid potential duplication of data, some user data fields need to be locked so users won’t be able to edit them. Go to the “Manual accounts” page (admin/settings.php?section=authsettingmanual), under the "Plugins > Authentication" sub-menu in the Site Administration section.
   
   
   
   In the “Lock user fields” section, choose “Locked” from the dropdown menu on the following fields, and click "Save changes."

• City/Town
• Country
• Address
• Phone
• Mobile phone

The custom field configuration is now complete and ready for synchronization.
