Course Module links to product in store

Hey,
I would like to link the courses in the joomdle course module to the corresponding product in the store (j2store).

At the moment I am formatting the string (course name) to the site alias and link this to this site. That works, but it's an ugly solution.
Is there a variable I can use? Any better way?

My code (in default php):
$sitealias = $curso;
if(strpos($sitealias, ' ') !== false){
$sitealias = str_replace(" ","-","".$sitealias."");
}
if(strpos($sitealias, '.') !== false){
$sitealias = str_replace(".","-","".$sitealias."");
}
if(strpos($sitealias, '(') !== false){
$sitealias = str_replace("(","","".$sitealias."");
}
if(strpos($sitealias, ')') !== false){
$sitealias = str_replace(")","","".$sitealias."");
}
$lasturlpart = strtolower("".$sitealias."");
echo "<li><a $target href=shop/".$lasturlpart.">".$curso."</a></li>";

Thank you!
Christoph

Isn't there a j2store products module that you can use for this? I have not checekd...

I don't know any j2store module & I need to select the category of the moodle course.
I have different joomdle course modules with based on different moodle course categories.

I am sorry, but I don't understand what you mean.

The module I was thinking about would be this one:
j2store.org/extensions/modules/product-display-module.html

I'm sorry. I was not clear.

I can't find the possibility to filter the courses in the product-display-module (j2store) by the categories from moodle.

I have a mulitlanguage website. In moodle I have a category "german" and a category "english".
On my website I want to show all courses of category "german" on my german site and all courses of moodle category "english" on my english version of the site.

In fact there are some more moodle categories, but I hope you are able to understand that example.

With the joomdle module "joomdle courses" I am able to filter by the moodle categories - that's why I'm using that solution at the moment.

Thank you!

Ok, I understand it better now.

However, I don't see a "good" way to do it right now.

With other shop components, you can have products in multiple categories, so you could just map Moodle english and german categories to shop categories, and filter by those.
In J2store you cannot do that, so that option is not good.

I think the best way here would be to modify joomdle courses module, to allow it to link to products in shop also, as it does with course details and Moodle pages.

I will try to take a look soon and get back to you. I guess you can wait a bit, as you have a working solution, even if it is not ideal.

Another solution, perhaps not one you hoping for ....

How often do your courses and categories change? If not frequent, just build a custom module displaying the courses you want and use advanced module manager to display based on language. If the the language of the front end is germany only display the module for german.

If your categories are changing often then this would be an administration issue.

Hi & thanks,

I hope to have a lot of courses to sell, so there are a lot of new courses and categories...
My workaround is fine for the moment, but it's pretty ugly, so every new idea is welcome
