Units have warning message and not showing

I’m receiving the same error. When I am logged in as the administrator I can view the entire course. When I log in as a student it gives me the same error as described above.

Hey scdev and cardv,

Hope you’re both having a great weekend!

I’ve tested this out on my install and didn’t get that exact behaviour but I believe I got something that could be related. I’ve reported it to the developer along with your warning and we should be able to get this fixed up shortly ??

What sort of unit elements do you have in the unit that students are getting that warning on?

Look forward to hearing back!

Cheers,
Tyler

I’m having the exact same issue on this plugin =/

So far I’ve tested to change the user roles, but only admin will allow me to enter the courses without getting the error.
also tried to change themes and still the same =/

also noticed that I cannot select the “Granted Instructor Capabilities”, for other users it seems? it will automatically jump back to “Revoked instructor Capabilities” no matter what user level the user has?

This does does make this plugin more or less, unusable sad to say.

when doing a quick var dump, it shows that while the user is non admin, the var’s don’t get passed on it seems while a user is not admin
selected vars: $pagename, $unit, $field, $show_title

Var dump at: line .../class.shortcodes.php on line 3017...:
pagename:
string '' (length=0)

unit:
object(Unit)[1728]
  public 'id' => boolean false
  public 'output' => string 'OBJECT' (length=6)
  public 'unit' =>
    array (size=0)
      empty
  public 'details' => null
  public 'course_id' => boolean false
  public 'status' =>
    array (size=0)
      empty

field:
string 'unit_page_title' (length=15)

show_title
boolean false

it’s all really empty =/

btw:
found out what’s wrong with the instructor capabilites,
and a quick fix ??

at line 1795 and line 1778 in coursepress.php :
if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options ' ) )
there is a spacer behind “manage_option “, this will always result in a false statement =/
so, if one want’s to change a user into a instructor, this spacer needs to be removed ??

not found a fix for a non admin getting access to a course unit ..

… oh btw.. quick uppdate…
now I found out that a user with instructor capabilities (never worked to change untill I fixed the spacer [see the post above], does not get this error….

thus being able to remove the user from admin ??
the user now has no role, but has Instructor capabilites ??

will uppdate if i find out more ..
‘*just started looking at this pluginn yesterday so im still not really all that well into things. but hope this helps someone untill wpmu can get a decent fix..

This plugin has potential, but in the current state it’s not usable..
let’s try to fix that =D

seems that while a user isn’t an instructor, it’s capabilities.
isn’t parsed to the unit page.
see vardump( $student )in …/class.shortcodes.php on line 3017…:
while user is not marked as instructor capabilites.

and then do the same for granted instructor cap.
but use the vardump at line 3015 when the pagename shows true.

so without any read rights I’m assuming that there will be no pagename shown?
** hope this helps someone who actually knows this plugin ??

Hey Vallivals,

Hope you’re doing well today and thanks for all the information here! Awesome stuff. I’ve reproduced the error on my own install and notified the developers about this along with your contribution here ??

Thanks for the help. Let us know if you have any further questions in the meantime.

All the best,
Tyler

So, No updates, nor quick/fix on the user issue so far.

I’m still waiting on a fix for this too.

Hi there,

Just wanted to update you here.

We have fixed this issue in the plugin and will release the plugin update anytime shortly containing the fix for it.

Thanks,

Hey there,

Thanks for keeping us up to date. Where can we find the updated plugin? The entire thing is completely useless right now and costing a lot of people some serious money. Please advise asap. Thank you.

*it’s broken until they fix it*
other than just as a mess around plugin it seems.

Hey All,

I was able to create a workaround by utilizing these plugins:

Capabilities Manager Enhanced

Adminimize

Remove Dashboard Access

Using Capabilities Manager Enhanced check “manage_options” for subscribers, since manage_options is the capability that determines whether or not course content will be displayed.

Now we don’t want our subscribers being able to change permalink structures or add/delete users so we need to take away their access to the dashboard completely. That’s where Remove Dashboard Access comes in. Simply set it so that only users with “delete_plugins” capability can access the dashboard.

Last we want to hide the admin bar all together which we could do without a plugin but adminimize does the trick and offers a whole slew of other awesome options. Go into adminimize and choose to hide the admin bar for subscribers.

Well there you go. This will allow subscribers to see the course content without allowing them access to the backend. Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

could you please download the latest version of the plugin released today where mentioned issues should be resolved.

Cheers,
Marko
