Hi guys!
I already have a group of student who just finished my course and have access to all the content.
I'm going to relaunch the course next month, but I want new students to have access to the cours progressively, (one module each week). But without taking out the access to the old students (they have granted access for lifetime).
Do I have to duplicate the cours or what can I do to give complete access to old students and one module each week for new students?
Regards
Well this is possible with the help of batches plugin .
you can create batches of your new and old students like January batch ,July Batch.
Batches addon allows you to set batch specific drip feed on same course .
So you can apply different drip feeds on same course for student of your different batches with the help of two batches .

Hi man, I already got the plugin but I can't see it on the components section. (I see it as active in the addons on the backend)
How can I set it up for the new students?
I can't create groups either... do I need them?
Thanks for your help
Okay please make sure that you have enabled the Buddypress Groups component form wp-admin-> settings -> Buddypress -> components -> group component .

If it is enabled and still you are facing same issue then please share your site url and admin credentials to check the issue at your end .
Ps : mark reply as private while sharing credentials .
OK Thanks, it works now :)
I already create two batches for the only course I have
Batch 1: with access to the entire course as it is.
Batch 2: will begin the course 15 august.
Now, I want the Batch 2 to have access to the course in drips. Giving them access to one new module each week.
How can I do that?
For this you have batch specific drip feed setting available that will apply on the batch (group) users.
For that to setup please goto groups -> select group -> manage -> batch -> Enable the batch timings :

Thanks, but thats not really what I want.
I want my batch to have access like this for example:
Week 1: access to module 1
week 2: access to module 1 and 2
Week 3: access to module 1, 2 and 3
Week 4: access to module 1, 2, 3 and 4
etc
The idea is that they have 1 week for each module before the next one is available.
Without restricting anything
How can i do that?
Thanks
Sorry i got little confused with the batch timings feature and the drip feed in courses feature .Actually the same drip feed like that of the courses is not available as of now in batches plugin .But it has options to restrict the accessibility to the users of the same course based in different groups .
Also we are going to add Batch specific drip feeds in the upcoming update of the wplms batches plugin .
Ohhh how's that?
That's way we buy the batches plugin no the first place.
Can you give me another solution based on what you tell me...
I have two groups/batches and I Need group 1 (semestre1 - 2016) to have acceso to all the course, but the group2 (semestre2-2016) I need them to have access as I explained before, starting 5 september.
How can I do that?
In the worst case scenario, is it be possible to duplicate the course, but every group seeing only their course. (so I can set up the dates and forums for the group 2)
I don't want group 1 or 2 seeing there is another course but they can not access.

Yep I did confused with the requirement related to access of the course and units and that's why I recommended you batches plugin .
I have added the feature in our planned features directly for you .
track :
https://trello.com/c/sHKnyR9P
We will implement this Batch specific drip feed feature in the next update of wplms .
For now you have to create two courses with different drip feeds .
Ok thanks.
So if I duplicate the course, (that way I can drip feed every course on different dates) can I have each course as private or hidden and give access to only one group for every course.
I want each group accessing and seeing only the course they are making.
I don't want group 1 seeing anything about the course for the group 2 and viceversa. (I don't want them to know there is another course)
Group 1 only seeing course 1
Group 2 only seeing course 2
How can i do that?
Thanks
Yep this option is available in Batches plugin .
FOr that you need to enable the "
Enable Batch Course Visibility switch " from wp-admin -> lms -> settings : http://prntscr.com/c6re83
This will enable the settings in batch to set this visibility of the batch courses for other students .

Hi guys!
I have almost everything set up for the new students.
I cloned the course and set up groups for separate the students on the forums and use the batch plugin to "Enable Batch Course Visibility switch" so the student can only see their own course.
Now I have some last questions...
1. Once the student is inside the lessons at the bottom right menu there are 3 green buttons (Back to course, rate the course and end course)
How can I eliminate them?
You can check the attached image: buttons.jpg
2. I need the students to "mark the lesson as complete" to have access to the next lesson, but right now they can "click" to all lessons, but the lessons are not availables so they get the message "you can not access this unit".
How can I have the other lessons not clickable until they are really available?
3. On the student profile there is the group option on the left menu, can I eliminate that option from that menu?
You can check the attached image: groups.jpg
Thanks

1. Removing that is not possible as of now . You need to apply css .
Please try adding the given css from wp-admin -> appearance -> customize -> custom css :
.more_course {
display: none;
}
2. Please enable the PREVIOUS UNIT COMPLETION LOCK in course settings :
http://prntscr.com/c9cfil
3. Please try adding the given code in your wplms-customizer.php file in wplms customizer plugin :
function wplms_remove_groups_nav() {
bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'groups' );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'wplms_remove_groups_nav', 15 );
Thanks for your help, it was awesome.
Now I need some help with:
1. Students can't request friendship from other students.
Before, when they looked at the other student profile, the name was clickable and you could "add as a friend" but now is not.
Can you help me?
2. The left menu on the profile page is not fully translate, but one week ago it was.
You can check the attached ->before-now.jpg
<span style="line-height: 1.5;">I'm using loco translate</span>
How can I translate those items?
