Customizing LearnDash – Adding required activity

  • Hi,

    Not sure where else to post. The official LearnDash community site is a facebook page and I really am not a fan of facebook, so hoping to get some ideas here.

    I am using LearnDash to administer guitar lessons. LearnDash comes with functionality to add quizzes, assignments. But I need to also have exercises, and forum questions that they are treated as an entity at lesson level. That way, I can have a sidebar for a lesson that shows for the lesson:

    Quizzes
    Quiz1
    Quiz2

    Exercises
    Exercise1
    Exercise2

    Discussions
    Discussion1
    Discussion2

    Assignments
    Assignment1
    Assignment2

    I am new to WordPress. Been doing Laravel development and am finding WordPress a bit odd in terms of design, so trying to figure out what is proper way to do what I am doing. The way I see it, exercises and forums would be tables that have a many-to-one relationship (that is one lesson has many exercises, forum questions), and in my lesson view I would simply display exercise and forum question info as needed. This would also entail a backend controller to add exercise and forum questions.

    Forum questions should be integrated with already existing Learnpress bbpress add on, just that the add on works at course level and I need lesson level control.

    Tips on how to efficiently do this and in a way that lends itself to Learnpress updates down the road?

    thanks,
    Brian

  • That appears to be a commercial product. You’ll need to work through their preferred support channels.

    The thing is their support channel is to tell you if there is a development question that you need to hire a developer. Since I have development experience I am posting here since the name of the forum as I recall is something along the lines of “Developing with WordPress”.

    So before I customize this commercial product, I would like to hear from the WordPress developer community (is that not here?) on best practices for the sort of customizing I am looking to do.

    HMMMM?

    I guess you have a point but from reading what you first posted I was thinking you needed support and couldn’t find anything but the Facebook page so I tried to help a bit with my ‘support page’ link.

    These forums are staffed by volunteers who are here to provide WordPress support so we concentrate on pointing users to better sources when there’s not much within these forums specific to any certain request.

    Asking in the development forum is good, as someone might chime in with experience in what you are working with or asking about. Sometimes there’s a better forum too and the mods here will often move a request to the proper forum as needed.

    Maybe there is a ‘Developing with Learn Dash’ forum somewhere? In the meantime, I’ll point you to StackExchange where you might find some interest in your question and possibly even more help.

    Do keep watching this thread. Sometimes discussion brings about more discussion which might lead to what you are seeking.

    I see some interest in Learn Dash from time to time so your efforts in developing extensions, themes, functions, and plugins will probably be very welcome. Another reason we like to point people back to the respective product support forums are the problems, ideas, and requests feed the author(s) with more info and help the communities gathered around a product better that offering.

    Moved to Fixing WordPress, this is not a Developing with WordPress topic.

    Not for anything related to any commercial product. You’re not asking about WordPress, it’s a commercial product on top of WordPress and those topics are not for these forums.

    For pro or commercial product support please contact the author directly on their site. This includes any pre-sales topics as well.

    As the author is aware, commercial products are not supported in these forums. I am sure they will have no problem supporting you there.
