Hi @rvalero240388 ,
Actually, it is possible to achieve this with {coursecards id}. I have done this for a few of my clients. What you need to do is to setup a category that will be displayed on your dashboard. You can call it something like "Suggested Courses". In that category, setup a fake courses for each of the courses that you want to include. It doesn't matter in what categories each of the target course are located.
Each will be a single activity course and that single activity will be a URL resource that you will simply point to the URL of the real course. The fake course should have the same full name, image and description as the real course. It should also be open to guests.
In essence, you are simply creating a redirection placeholder. When the student clicks on the tile, they will be automatically redirected to the real course.
Based on your message, I believe that this will achieve your desired outcome. You can even use this technique to include one course into as many other categories as you want.
Hopefully I explained this clearly for you. Let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Michael
Hi, @michael-milette .
Your solution is correct, however this will generate a duplicate enrollment record for the student. I propose, in addition to your solution, the following actions:
THANKS YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Hi @rvalero240388
Your welcome. Your suggestion is actually a pretty good solution. Thank you for sharing!

Hi @rvalero240388 and @davefoord,
You got it! The latest version of FilterCodes now includes a new {coursecard} tag that enables you to display a configurable list of course cards by specifying their course id. Note that this is different from the {coursecards} tag (with an 's').
Valid examples:

If you would be so kind, I would really be thankful if you could try it out in your Moodle environment and let me know if it works for you.

Hi Michael, I thought I had replied to this last week, but cannot see my reply, so must have dreamt this!
I have tested this, and works really well - will definitely use this.
Hi Dave,
Thanks for testing it out and getting back to me. Much appreciated!
Best regards,
Michael
Hil. We'd love to know if it is possible that the filter code "coursecards id" could reference individual courses instead of top level categories.
We are interested in a setup a block in the dashboard with a selection of individual coursecards, this is not possible with the "coursecards id" because this courses belong to different categories.
Sorry for my english :)
