Multiple “in-progress” statuses for same lesson

Hi @fredrikmbp and @alex92828 ,

We have a high priority issue open for this here: https://github.com/Automattic/sensei/issues/2748

which is thee best place to follow along for updates to the issue.

The current recommended method for ‘fixing’ this is:

– get the Code Snippets plugin (https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/code-snippets)

– create a new snippet in that plugin:

add_filter( 'sensei_check_for_activity', 'sensei_filter_duplicate_user_status' );

function sensei_filter_duplicate_user_status( $comments ) {
	if(! is_array($comments)) {
		return $comments;
	}

	$found    = [];
	$filtered = [];
	foreach ( $comments as $comment ) {
		$key = $comment->comment_post_ID . '-' . $comment->comment_type . '-' . $comment->user_id;
		if ( empty( $found[ $key ] ) ) {
			$filtered[] = $comment;
		}
		$found[ $key ] = true;
	}
	return $filtered;
}

PLEASE NOTE THESE CAVEATS using this snippet:

While it should prevent duplicated entries causing any harm, it doesn’t delete them. There will be still some inaccuracies in the admin side, like In Progress count for a lesson, but it should resolve the issue of users getting stuck in a loop.

Best,
Cena
