Course catalogue: replace "Visit this course" by "Subscribe" for "open" courses #1402

Open joachimlucas opened 8 years ago

When a course has the state "access allowed for users registered on the platform" and a user is logged, he can't access the course with a direct link like http://myplatform.com/chamilo/courses/CODEOFTHECOURSE

He is necessarily redirected to the page "You're not authorized to access this page ..."

It works with this URL?

Hi Julio No the same with index.php

@djoshy, this access means that the user can subscribe to the course through the course catalogue. If the user is not subscribed to the course, he is considered an anonymous user in what refers to this specific course. Maybe the wording could be changed, but at least we do not consider this a bug. The admin manual of Chamilo gives an explanation on this, so just reading the manual could have helped you.

That right Yannick, just reading the manual could have helped me ... but it really seemed like a bug because when you are in the catalogue, there is a button "visit this course" (when the course is open to the platform) which is very confused for students. They think they can visit but the program does not tell them to subscribe before.

I like this description better. Let's re-shape this report as a feature request for the next major version then...
