Start a course using the Query Loop block

[gabrielcaires]

Goal

The goal of this card is to enable the Course Admin to add a Start this course when using a query loop with the Course Post Type.

Scope

• Analyze the current Take Course block to identify it is possible to reuse it without breaking any logic on the editor and on component rendering.
• Editor: Enable to Add a Start this Course button
• Frontend: Render the Start this Course button.
• Frontend: Render the Continue button.
• Frontend: Render the View Results button.
• Provide the necessary Layout Settings to reproduce the expected layout
• This component should be available on all post-type pages.

Tech Details

• Review the current Take Course block (Today it is only working on Course Post Type Pages)
• Check if is possible to reuse it or is better to create a new one only using the logic.

Out of Scope

• Paid courses, except if we are confident of reusing the already existing block, please provide visibility about it

Screenshots

Acceptance Criteria:

Scenario: [Editor] Adding the Button Given I have the Query Loop Block placed on the page When I added the Sensei Start This Course button And I publish my page And I land on the rendered page (user-facing page) Then I should see the button.

Scenario: [Student] Student is not logged in. Given I am a not logged-in student When I land on the page with Query Loop Then I should see the button Start this Course button

Scenario: [Student] Student is logged in but is not enrolled in a course. Given I am a logged-in student And I am enrolled in the course When I land on the page with Query Loop When I click on the Start This Course button Then I should follow the existing enrollment progress.

Scenario: [Student] Student is logged in AND Enrolled in a course. Given I am a logged-in student And I am not enrolled When I land on the page with Query Loop When I click on the Continue button Then I should be redirected to the course page.

Scenario: [Student] Student finished a course Given I am a logged-in student And I am already enrolled in a course When I land on the page with Query Loop AND I click on the View Results button And I should see be redirected to the course results page.

@donnapep @Imran92 I am assuming that supporting paid courses is a different feature, because we need to plan if/how are going to support it on sensei-pro.

Yeah, do you think we can handle the paid course behavior the same way it's handled in the Take Course button block? If it takes a significant amount of work, we can split it into a different ticket

My suggestion is to evaluate, it during the card implementation because it depends if we really want to reuse the same block or if is better to create a new one, especially considering that we need to add some new features and we need to ensure retro compatibility.

Agreed, creating a new one probably is a cleaner path, but you're right, we can decide that after evaluating. I was just talking about the way take course button works, as it shows different content based on the course being a paid one or free, so it combines a free + pro functionality, I was thinking we can take ideas from how that's handled to implement it in our case. We can make a decision after evaluating as you've said 👍
