Course Syllabus Widget

If you have courses with a lot of lessons, you may want to use the collapsible sidebar widget which adds accordion functionality.

Please note, this widget will only display content when used in a Course Sidebar or Lesson Sidebar. If added to other sidebars it will not function correctly!

 

 

Installation 

1. Navigate to your WordPress admin panel
2. Navigate to “Appearance -> Widgets:
3. Locate the Course Syllabus widget and add it to either your Course Sidebar or Lesson Sidebar
4. Configure the widget using the available settings (described below)
5. Click “Save”

Settings

• Title (optional)
  • Enter text to display above your course syllabus
• Make outline collapsible (optional)
  • Check the box to enable collapsing functionality. This will allow your users to open and close sections of the course outline as they wish. This is a useful setting for large courses.
  • When used inside a Course Sidebar, the default opened section will be determined based on the next available uncompleted lesson for the current viewer. If the viewer is not a student, it will default to the first section.
  • When used inside a Lesson Sidebar, the default opened section will be the section of the lesson the viewer is currently on, regardless of their progress through the course.
• Display open and close all toggles (optional)
  • Check this box to add an “Open All” and “Close All” toggle at the bottom of the outline.
  • The “Open All” button will open all sections in the syllabus.
  • The “Close All” button will close all sections in the syllabus.
  • This option is only available if the “Make outline collapsible” option is also enabled.
