Multiple Certificate Templates for Course


Problem Statement :

Course Creator should be able to attach more than one certificate template to a course or course-batch so that users receive different certificates based on the defined filter criteria for each template. The creator should also be able to delete one or more certificate templates from the course. After addition or deletion of certificates, the course creator should also be able to view the list the certificate templates attached to a particular course.

SB-14845 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Solution Approach :

1. Add Certificate Template 

       API Specification : API should take the course id , batch id (optional), certificate name, filters and the metadata of the certificate template which has to be attached for that particular course. Course creator can add new certificate template to the course by specifying  the filter criteria for issuing the certificate, in the filters field of the API.


2. Delete Certificate Template

       API Specification : API should take the course id, batch id(optional) and  name of the certificate which the course creator wants to delete. 

3. Get Certificate Template

       API Specification : API should take the course id and  batch id(optional) and return the list of certificate templates attached to the course.

Table Structure

Certificate templates would be stored in Cassandra table. Below is the table structure with details of each column


certificate_templates

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sunbird_courses.certificate_templates (
  courseid text,  // course id
  batchid text,   // batch id, empty if template is applicable for all the course batches
  name text,  // name of the certificate template
  template text,  // template metadata as a string, contains issuer, signatory and other information
  filters text,  // filters for the certificate
  addedby text,  // user id
  lastupdatedon timestamp, // timestamp of certificate update
  PRIMARY KEY (courseid, name)
);



API Design :

  • Add Certificate Template API

    POST /course/batch/cert/v1/template
    
    Request :      
    
    {
        "params": {

                },
                "signatoryList": [
                    {

            }
        }   
    }     
  • Delete  Certificate Template API

    DELETE  /course/batch/cert/v1/template
    
    Request : 
                       {
                         "params": { },
                         "request":{
