Get course status (completed or not) in php

  • Hi,

    I want to display courses in sidebar menu along with an icon (check or cross) indicating whether the course is completed or not. Is there a shortcode or some other php way to pull out this kind of data? The closest is [namaste-mycourses] shortcode which displays the status of courses it lists, however I had no luck with pulling out the pure status code.

    I also need it to change the message displayed on a page that lists all the courses. Right now it bases on [namaste-condition is_enrolled=1 course_id=XXX], however it doesn’t take into account that the course is completed in full.

    Regards,
    Michal

    I just come up with a workaround:

    function course_1_completed_check_shortcode($atts = [], $content = null) {
$lesson1 = do_shortcode( '[namaste-lesson-status lesson_id="600"]' );
$lesson2 = do_shortcode( '[namaste-lesson-status lesson_id="700"]' );
if ($lesson1 =='Completed' AND $lesson2 =='Completed') {
	$content = 'Course completed <span class="oi oi-check"></span>';
	return $content;
	}
else
	return $content;
	}
add_shortcode( 'course_1_completed_check', 'course_1_completed_check_shortcode' );

    the above is in functions.php

    then in lesson HTML I use:

    <div class="alert alert-info">[course_1_completed_check]You joined this course. See lessons below.[/course_1_completed_check]</div>
    which will display that user has enrolled but if completed all lessons it displays “Course completed”.

    The above involves a lot of work for a single course and it also means I won’t be able to delegate creating courses to others. Please don’t think of it as final solution.
