Starred Courses block -- starred courses still appear in the block after you're unenrolled

In Moodle 3.6, you can "star" a course that you are enrolled in. This causes the course to appear in the Starred Courses block. But if you're unenrolled from the course, the course continues to display in the Starred Courses block (it no longer displays in the Course Overview block). And there doesn't appear to be any way to "unstar" this course since the ability to star/unstar it resides in the Course Overview block (where it no longer appears). And why should a course you no longer have access to continue to appear in the Starred Courses block?

This doesn't seem right. Perhaps I'm missing something.

We have a locally-developed Favorite Courses block where users can "favorite" courses they are enrolled in. Favorited courses appear in the block. Once you are unenrolled from a course you have favorited, it is immediately removed from the Favorite Courses block. I think this make sense. And this is the kind of behavior I would expect to see in the Starred Courses block, but I'm not -- unenrolled, starred courses continue to display.

Thanks in advance.... Brian

Hi Brian,

I'm using Moodle 3.6.1+ (Build: 20181220), and I can't replicate the issue that you raised.

I used a student account and starred a course in the "Course Overview" block, and then used an admin account to unenrol the relevant student from that course. When I logged in again as the student, the starred course was gone as expected.

I did not post twice about the same issue. These are different issues. One affects starred courses, the other recently accessed courses. I don't understand why there should be any confusion, at least with regard to the posts I made.

Recently Accessed Courses -- must one be enrolled?

*********
There are also two distinct tracker tickets for these issues:

Starred courses remain starred (in Starred Courses block) after unenrollment:

Recently accessed courses block should show any course the user has accessed

Apologies Brian, you're right. I was reading on a mobile device and in a post-anaesthetic haze sad

Starred courses, where the user is unenrolled, are indeed removed from the user's Course Overview block (which makes sense since the user is no longer enrolled), but these courses remain in the Starred Courses block. This post is about the Starred Courses BLOCK.
