Service: WordPress Plugin Development
Platform: WordPress
Industry: Education
Location: Bogotá, Colombia
Challenge
In a world where online education has become essential, we were faced with a client whose Open edX platform and its integration with WooCommerce required specialized attention. The client was already using a plugin, but the growth of their platform and changing system demands required a more robust and adaptable solution.
Solution
With a commitment to providing a seamless learning experience, our team in conjunction with eduNEXT embarked on substantially improving the existing plugin. The vision was clear: develop an evolving tool that would allow WordPress and Shopify users to manage their Open edX courses seamlessly and efficiently.
Key Features of the Enhanced Plugin
1. Creating Open edX Courses as WooCommerce Products
- Makes it easy to designate Open edX courses as products in WooCommerce.
- Allows to assign course modes and course_id registered in the Open edX platform.
2. Open edX Connection Configuration
Introduces a new option in the WordPress configuration to store authentication information related to the Open edX platform.
3. Registration Manager
Records all enrollment requests generated when purchasing products that are Open edX courses.
4. Viewing Enrollment Requests from Orders
Easy access to registration requests related to Open edX products in WooCommerce orders.
5. Creating Enrollments in Open edX
Automatically creates an enrollment request when processing an order containing an Open edX course.
6. Soft Enrollment Management from Reimbursements
- Keeps the registration record, but sets the “is_active” attribute to false in case of refunds.
- Supports the removal of “allowed entries” as of version 15.
7. Obtaining Registration Information
Request Open edX APIs to retrieve the enrollment status of a user in a course.
