Managing the people attending a course
Hi,
I have a new set of questions regarding the management of people attending or willing to attend a course:
– if someone registers for a course, the website manager is notified but what about the teacher? Can he/will he be notified to?
– is it possible to send automatically generic e-mails to take into consideration the different situations regarding a course: cancellation due to poor number of participants; confirmation of a course because a minimum number of applicants has been reached; end of registrations because the course has reached its maximum number of applicants;
– what if when the course actually starts, some of the applicants don't show? In short, how can we handle the absent people? While I'm at it, any news/chance of getting a list of participants for a course for these people to sign in?
– when the data for a course are modified by the teacher, does the website manager get an automatic notification? What if it is the website manager who makes the changes, does the teacher get a notification?
– in the course, the specific dates for a course (from … date to … date) do not show, just the relative date (the course will start in 2 weeks, for instance). Any way of showing automatically the specific dates?
– same question for the price of the course: could it appear right from the course description? With a specific sidebar maybe?
– last but not least: my client would like to duplicate in bulk the courses of a specific year (say for instance, the 2015 session) to move it to the next session (the 2016 session). How can we do that? Single post duplication (and therefore single course duplication) is possible through plugins like Post duplicator. Any solution for mass duplication?
Thanks for your help!
1. Author(instructor) of the course is sent an email chec k the lms ->settings -> touch points settings for this .
2. This is not available as of now ,however emails like " course is expiring soon " and " drip feed mails " etc can be configured from the lms ->settings -> emails -> email template .
3. Course are taken by the students individually .A studnet can be logged in and can pursue her course at any time once added to course .
4. YOu can achieve this by installing the Co-authors plus plugin and its wplms addon .
AND then add the site admin as the author of the each course .In this way the mail notification that is sent for the instructor will be sent for the admin also becasue admin is also the instructor of the course now .

Hi,
Thanks for your answers, it does help my customization.
Concerning the LMS settings:
– Touch Points: what's the difference between message and e-mail? What does localization actually mean?
– E-mails: how can this section be set up? Any (video or not) tutorial? How does it connect with WP Mandrill?
– Start date: I did insert the proper code (see attached screens, code inserted in 2 different locations) but with no success. Can you help me undertstand why?
– Specific Instructions: how can these (like equipment needed for the course) be shown rignt in the course description, even fon non-logged-in visitors?
Thanks for your (much appreciated!) help

Hi,
I also like to change to starting date instead of remaining time to course start.
Can i know the step-by-step to where can i add the code shown in your documentation? (https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/show-start-date-instead-of-remaining-time-in-course/)
Thanks.
I tried to paste the code in a few places without success. Maybe admin can let us know where exactly to paste the code. This is a great feature to have.
Touch points : Email options enabled will send emails to the students and instructors while the messages will send the buddypress messages to users if enabled in their inbox.

Hi ulyssesw,
Please goto the plugins-> editor -> select wplms customizer plugin to edit .
Find the wplms-customizer.php file and click on it and add the code at the end before" ?> " tag .
Hi,
Thanks for your answers.
Something went wrong as I added both codes:
– the first one (to show the specific dates) did not make any difference. I understand from your anwser to Ulysse that it should be placed in a specific place in the code (at the end of the page, before ?>). I've just done it… but no difference.
– the second code turned my admin panel down, I could not access wp_admin any more. I had to suppress wp_optimzer on the FTP, then re-install it to get it back to normal.
I checked the code you sent me… and it seems to be wrong, mainly because of spelling mistakes (instrcutions instead of instructions). Can you check and send me the proper code:
add_action('wplms_after_course_description','show_instructions');
function show_instructions(){
global $post;
$instrcution=get_post_meta($post->ID,'vibe_course_instructions',true);
if(!empty($instrcution))
echo apply_filters('the_content',$instrcution).' ';
Thanks very much for your answer – we need to show our website pretty soon now!
Take care
Patrick
Thanks Admin.
Can you confirm that the code shown on the documentation below is correct?

You did step in? I've tried to see the diffence… but it still doesn't show. Does it show on your side?
Hi Alex,
Pasted the code and now its working. Just one question, i attached the screenshot. Why does it has a lighter shade below (in the button)?
Thanks.
You can apply css for this from appearance ->customize -> custom css :
.course_button > span {
opacity: 1;
}
Hi Alex,
Added in the code in appearance - customize - custom css.
But its still the same: Please see as attached:
Regards.
Try using this :
.course_button > span { opacity: 1 !important; font-weight: 600 !important; }
Hi,
Could you please answer my query? It still does not work.
Can you send me the proper code and tell me where I should place it exactly (which file, which location in the file)? Last time, it crashed in∞
Thanks for your help, it's becoming urgent for us.
