chamilo-lms2/plugin/buycourses/CHANGELOG.md

v4.0 - 2017-04-25

This version includes the Culqi payment gateway and introduces an additional option to show the Buy Courses tab to anonymous users.

To enable these features, if you have already installed this plugin on your portal prior to this version, you will need to add the corresponding settings to your settings_current table. No documentation is available at this time on how to do that, so please check up the code. Sorry about that.

v3.0 - 2015-09-25

This version has been fixed and improved for Chamilo LMS 1.10.x.

• A new user interface for platform admins and users.
• Avoid data redundancy by adding courses/sessions to catalog
• The catalog of sessions can be configured to offer some courses or sessions in a currency other than the others courses or sessions
• The sales have a status: Pending, Completed, Canceled
• The Peding Orders pages has been replaced by a Sales Report. Allowing filter the sales by its status
• The plugin Registration page was removed. Instead the Chamilo LMS registrarion page is used.
• Added the ability to record beneficiaries with the sale of courses/sessions

##Changes in database structure

The database structure has been changed totally. The previous database structure was formed for the tables:

• plugin_buy_course The registered courses in the platform
• plugin_buy_course_country The list of countries with their currencies
• plugin_buy_course_paypal The PayPal account info
• plugin_buy_course_sale The sales of courses that were made
• plugin_buy_course_temporal The pending orders of courses that were made
• plugin_buy_course_transfer The bank accounts for transfers
• plugin_buy_session The registered courses in the platform
• plugin_buy_session_course The courses in sessions
• plugin_buy_session_sale The sales of session that were made
• plugin_buy_session_temporary The pending orders of session that were made

To avoid the data redundancy, the plugin_buy_course, plugin_buy_session and plugin_buy_session_course tables were replaced for the plugin_buycourses_item table. And the plugin_buy_course_sale, plugin_buy_course_temporal, plugin_buy_session_sale and plugin_buy_session_temporary tables were replaced for the plugin_buycourses_item table.

The new database structure is formed for the tables:

• plugin_buycourses_currency The list of countries with their currencies
• plugin_buycourses_item The registered courses and sessions in the platform
• plugin_buycourses_item_re_beneficiary The beneficiaries users with the sale of courses
• plugin_buycourses_paypal_account The PayPal account info
• plugin_buycourses_sale The sales of courses and sessions that were made
• plugin_buycourses_transfer The bank accounts for transfers

v2.0 - 2014-10-14

This version adds support for sales of sessions access. A session can be purchased as soon as it is given a price, granted the current date is either previous to the session start date, between the start and end, or no date has been defined for the session. Students are subscribed automatically once they have paid. There is no intermediary step. This version does not work (yet) with the session period defined by user (a special feature introduced in Chamilo 1.9.10).

Upgrade procedure

If you are working with this plugin since earlier versions, you will have to look at the installer to fix your plugin tables (add a few fields).

v1.0 - 2014-06-30 (or something)

This is the first release of the plugin, with only the PayPal payment method in working state and only for courses.
