    Hi there, I don't see the practicality to use both courses and appointment as my website will only have live lessons. As I am using appointment with BBB, I am wondering if I still need courses, is it possible to have all the website running only with appointment and no courses (bearing in mind that LMS is still needed)? Otherwise is there a possibility to include the "appointment section bar" in the course directory (ideally on the left)? This is how I would like to combine both: https://prntscr.com/t74nyu Also, as you can see on the first screenshot below, appointment section bar (calendar) appears however even though it seems to be clickable to book, it is unclickable and we cannot book directly from here: https://prntscr.com/t74r7n Lastly, if the tutors want to teach two subjects, how will it work with appointment? Right now, I don't see the option to select two categories. Thanks in advance, Nakiti

    @Nakiti_89, This section in course directory is not possible: https://prnt.sc/t74r7n The component is react based, the whole appointment is based on react and the wplms is on wordpress. To hook together these two, we need to create wplms from scratch which is not possible with version 3.9.9.(that's why we are working on 4.0) You can submit a feature request for this   wplms bbb is to create meetings in courses but the same is not with wplms appointments. Using appointments addon you can add the schedule price, slot price, book instructor, it depends on you whether you want to connect your schedule with any course or just want live sessions. Both addons are different Lastly, if the tutors want to teach two subjects, how will it work with appointment? Right now, I don't see the option to select two categories.   ----> For that purpose you have wplms bbb addon

    Thank you, I will double check my BBB settings and get back to you for further assistance if needed. Perhaps a short video from you on how to set it up for two categories and more will definitely help. Are you able to please do so? Thanks in advance,

    @Nakiti_89, The video how to setup wplms bbb is already available here: https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/wplms-bbb-addon/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-QqOb0lo6A You can check how to embed wplms bbb in course, the video is a bit old but the steps are still same

    Hi Diana, Thank you for your message, will look into it. You previously added a description on our tutor list page, however I would like to add a except limit, so when the tutor write too many info there is a link for "read more" or at least ... and the rest can be read on the tutor profile page. Also I would like the location to appear instead of the gender. But I am struggling, could you please help? I do not need the gender to appear, it is only for the filter part (we can catch about this after please). https://prntscr.com/taklas 2 last points and I should be done with this page:  Is it possible to have the calendar on the left side, instead of the right side? And could the video be linked directly from the picture (so only one picture appear and not two) Could we add a button contact tutor in this page too? Thank you so much,

    Also there are 2 concerns with appointment:
    1. https://prntscr.com/takrj3 - the tutors takes time to appears and instead of a waiting icon, it shows "No tutors available" - how can we improve this?
    2. Appointment section bar (calendar) appears however even though it seems to be clickable to book, it is unclickable and we cannot book directly from here: https://prntscr.com/t74r7n - how can we make it clickable?

    @Nakiti_89, Point 1: We are actually caching the data. In case no tutors were available then you added a new schedule for an instructor. This page will still show, no instructors found. Until and unless you close this tab and open a new tab which will show updated results Point 2: The book button on the appointments directory page is not working in your case?
    Issues of the first part of the post: Issue 1: The instructor short description should show a read more link ---> really a nice idea and I like this idea. So going to add in the next update. Point noted down. Thank you :) Issue 2: No, calendar can't be on left side

    Hi Diana, Point 1: I understand that if there is no instructor it will show that. However, the current problem is that it first shows no tutors available like for 5 seconds then they appear, which is not good at all, it should show something like "we are looking for availabilities ...". Point 2: I am not sure I understand your point, there is a book instructor button, however I would like to be able to book the specific time slot from the side bar: https://prntscr.com/t74r7n and no need to go to another page. Right now it is not you can see the schedule, but cannot book. Issue 1: Thanks, that's fantastic, however I would like to get it now. Can you provide a short code that I can already implement on my website? Issue 2: That's unfortunate but ok. Issue 3: May you please answer my previous point: Also I would like the location to appear instead of the gender. But I am struggling, could you please help? Issue 4: May you please answer my previous point: Could we add a button contact tutor in this page too? New question: I have been able to install e-commerce and can now book a meeting but there was nothing popping up in both instructor and student side with a link for BBB, how does it work? How can I set up it? Thank you, this page is taking great form. PS: I know you said there is no other choice for settings appointment, are you planning to improve it in your update.

    @nakiti_89 Point 1: Okay, I will look into that what I can do to modify it Point 2: Yes, the booking cannot be possible from here. You have to land on another page. We are just fetching the information of slots, clicking on slots and showing popup cannot be possible here Point 3: show read more in directory Shortcodes will not work because I have to add changes in react js and then I can share the minified version of the file Point 4: May you please answer my previous point: Also I would like the location to appear instead of the gender. But I am struggling, could you please help? ---> which point? And you want to show Location field instead of gender field, then please do add a new field from here: http://prntscr.com/tcp55l Then set the location as you set the gender for instructors and it will be visible here Point 5: Could we add a button contact tutor on this page too? On which page? you want that button to appear Point 6:I have been able to install e-commerce and can now book a meeting but there was nothing popping up in both instructor and student side with a link for BBB, how does it work? How can I set up it? ----> did you checked this video tutorial? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7QTeh_fFbw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV-PAe4ULkc Point 7: Bio/Description No longer appears Did you perform these steps? http://prntscr.com/tcpa95

    Point 1: yes please, because it shows functionalities. Maybe replace by "we are looking for the best results". When can we expect a return from you on this point? Point 2: this is unfortunate because I can see that there is a "small-hand" icon like it is clickable, can you remove it and leave it as a normal arrow? Point 3: OK, do you have an estimated timeline on when the next version will come in? Point 4: So will I have to add manually all the countries? I expected a feature. Point 5: I will like to add the point "contact instructors" in the appointment directory page (the current page we are working in which show all the tutors and their calendar). Point 6: will look into because I don't have the button "join meeting". Thank you. Point 7: thank you, but it is not working yet, I had changed the word "description" by "Bio" and "Instructor" group field by "Tutor Info". I put everything back how it was still not appearing :( Thank you again for your help.

    Point 1: we keep in touch Point 2: that's ok what I was speaking about was the other part, the schedule on the bottom of the image / video: https://prnt.sc/tekw0d Point 3: ok, that's amazing. Thank you so much. I will publish my Cpanel in a private reply now. Point 4: I will work on it manually then (I thought there were an option of listing the current Location from the current tutors) Point 5: How do we submit a feature request? Do you mean a paid customization service? Point 6: Ok will do that shortly. Point 7: indeed now it works. Thank you again for all your support. Much appreciated Diana.
