Disable Calendar and Due Dates
-
Hi – I’m thrilled to have found ScholarPress, as I think it will serve my needs for my online course site without having to enable multi-site and blogs for each course. This is a much simpler solution!
Is it possible to disable the due dates and calendar for the courseware? I’m developing online courses for adults, and I won’t be grading their assignments, nor due they have due dates. I’d like to keep the interface as clean as possible, and if we’re not using a feature, I’d like to be able to remove it. Otherwise, students will get confused.
I would also like to have Pages within each Group. In the U.S. mode, I create course lessons with assignments, and I think that’s going to be confusing to my students. Before finding Scholarpress, I was simply using Buddypages and assumed I’d have to create either multiple installs or a multi-site set up.
Thanks!

Hi and thanks for your feedback.
About due dates, even if you can see them there and use them, that doesn’t mean due dates will work as expected (like blocking user to add content after an assignment expires or sort of). Removing due dates means you want customization, that can be done, but it’s out of the scope for current development focus (mean not on the priority list and on the todo).
You can ask some developers if you know somebody to do that work, basically it require to comment out some lines of code.What about pages for courses, those are on the todo list https://github.com/scholarpress/buddypress-courseware/issues#issue/32
Courseware is yet young and requires love and patience, but it will kick ass at some point
“basically it require to comment out some lines of code.”
Care to give a hint where?
I’m trying to hide the calendar new schedule and bibliography from the menus. That’s it.hmm, the easiest way would be to put the `courseware.css` file into the theme folder and add the `display: none` to the elements you want to hide.
Check the configuration, last option:
http://scholarpress.github.com/buddypress-courseware/handbook.html#configurationThis is also the lightest way to hide things from Courseware.
If you want to remove the main tab for Calendar, there’s a hook:
`courseware_group_nav_options`, an example is here:
