I have a completely separate question if you don’t mind!

When I toggle “trim empty days” for the following calendar, nothing happens (in fact, you can see it toggle back to off after I press OK).

Is there any obvious reason as to why that would be happening?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply!

I had already figured out using the Asset CleanUp plugin that the conflicting file was tutor-front.js.

However, in my rush to ask you for help, I seem to have forgotten that I can use that very same plugin to unload tutor-front.js only on the page that contains my calendar. I believe that’s done the trick!

Thanks again!

This also highlights my previous comment in another thread about developers for this plugin only considering video lessons and not text-based lessons.

If you’re writing a text-only lesson that you wish to add to an already live course, such a lesson can days, if not weeks, to complete. It therefore makes sense to be able to save that lesson as a draft until it’s completed and ready to be published. The only other option seems to be to set the entire course as a draft for days or weeks, which is not ideal if the course is already live and you just wish to add something to it.

As I said in my very first post, that is what I’m doing.

However, my instructors must choose random dates far into the future to hide a lesson and then change to dates in the past when they want to show a lesson. It’s impossible for a school teacher to know in advance the exact date when everyone will be ready to move on to each lesson.

There are of course many other reasons as to why it should be possible to set as a lesson as a draft, e.g. you notice a mistake which you need to tidy up. Hopefully, as @jobayertuser mentioned above, my request will be added in an upcoming release as it would be an incredibly trivial thing to add.

Thanks.

Yes I’m using Tutor LMS content drip.

“Course content available sequentially hides next lessons for everyone enrolled and doesn’t allow progression to next ones until each of them individually complete prior lessons.”

Yes but the student rather than the instructor decides when they are ready to move on to the next lesson with that implementation. I want the instructor to instead allow progression to the next lesson only once the instructor believes that all of their students are ready to move on.

I’m doing this in a flimsy manner using content drip by date as explained above. Is there a better method?

Thanks

Edit: Another way of thinking of it is the following. I want an instructor (teacher) to enter their classroom and “switch on” the next lesson so that, now, their students can see this lesson for the first time at the start of this class. I therefore want all students to be able to start viewing each lesson at the same time, just as with content drip by date. However, I want a “simplified” version of content drip by date such that, rather than unlocking a lesson by an instructor choosing a date, a lesson is instead unlocked by an instructor toggling a switch.

I don’t even think that what I want is considered content drip. I instead simply want a toggle on the frontend course builder for each lesson, something like “save lesson as draft” or “set lesson as private” or “unlock lesson” etc.

I’m using Tutor LMS with actual school teachers as instructors.

I wish for the teachers (instructors) to have the ability to only show a lesson once they believe that their classroom as a whole is ready to move on to the next lesson, which is not at a specific date nor should it be decided by each student.

I therefore need each teacher to be able to manually show a hidden lesson. I’m currently achieving this with content drip by instructing the teacher to initially set all lessons to some random date in the future. Then, when a class is ready to move on to the next lesson, I’m telling them to set the content date drip date of that lesson to a random date in the past.

This is a bit of a over-complicated and flimsy way of manually showing and hiding lessons. Is there a better way?

Thanks.

So there is no way to save individual lessons as drafts on the frontend course builder?

Or, more generally, the only way for an instructor to manually hide a lesson is to use content drip by date and choose some random date in the future? There’s no direct way of showing/hiding a lesson by simply using a toggle?

“Content drip is the way to show/hide subsequent lessons, quizzes and assignments.”

Yes I’m aware, but is there no way for an instructor to simply make a published lesson a draft instead on the frontend?

Seems odd to have three complicated ways of doing that without first having the more basic way of manually doing it.

Thank you for addressing this in 2.0.5.

Agreed. Every time I update, I need to spend hours, if not days, fixing up my CSS again.

I didn’t need to do that on LearnDash. Very frustrating.

Perfect, thank you for your help!

“Many users don’t like the arrow if the lesson only has texts.”

Yes, and I am one of them. But what is the alternative when there are no arrows?

There should be previous and next buttons instead at the bottom of the page like there was before, but there isn’t. There is currently no way to easily navigate to the next page except by finding that next page in the sidebar, which makes for a very frustrating experience, especially on mobile.

As for my issue with the two scrollbars on the right, I believe that I fixed it myself.

You’ve set the height of the lesson content to 100vh, which means that another scrollbar appears if the lesson content doesn’t fit on the page, in addition to a scrollbar if the entire body doesn’t fit on the page.

I fixed it with the following:

.tutor-course-single-content-wraper #tutor-single-entry-content {
height:auto !important;
}

As explained above, this happens on the various themes that I tried on a fresh install of WordPress, so might be worth implementing this in the next update.

I knew there must have been a setting that I couldn’t find!

Thank you for your quick and detailed response!

No, it has nothing to do with the theme.

I just switched from the Elementor Hello theme to the Twenty Two theme and also removed any of my custom CSS. I see the exact same four scrollbars.

Just to make sure I hadn’t done something else, I installed a fresh copy of WordPress locally and added nothing else but Tutor LMS. All of those four scrollbars appear.

Add 20 paragraphs to a lesson page. Are you saying that you don’t see two scrollbars on the right when you do that? Have you really never tested a long lesson page until right now?

Actually, I don’t think you have because you would have realised that these left and right page navigation arrows don’t scroll with the lesson page.

Once a user scrolls to the bottom of a lesson page, they have scroll back up to the top of a lesson page in order to find these arrows and navigate to the next page. Not a good user experience.

(In fact, I had to rollback to an earlier 2.0 version to show you these navigation arrows as they don’t seem to be present in 2.0.4? The only way for a user to navigate to the next lesson page in 2.0.4 is to find that page in the sidebar? What?)

Got it working!

I found a post for another membership plugin where someone was having the same issue. He uninstalled the plugin, deleted all the plugin data and then reinstalled the plugin and PayPal started working again. Same for me!

Thanks again for your plugin! ??
