I just had, another 2 hours 🙂

Basically, cloning is piece of cake 🙂 Courseware uses Custom Post Types, no additional database tables at all. The content is tied to group using a custom taxonomy. All you need to do is query for posts of course and assignment type for current group taxonomy and copy objects to a new group with a […]

Or just map an existing role to be able to do that, like editors or etc…

In a nutshell, you just want an ordinary user to be able to make another user a teacher? If that is so, I can add this request to the queue, but I will implement that my way 🙂 Most probably I would add an option where teachers can make other users teachers, this doesn’t bring […]

Thanks for pointing to this, so I didn’t get misunderstood 😉

@hnla, I discussed this before writing the plugin. Creating a certain role, isn’t as flexible as having capabilities. Right now Courseware handles capabilities dynamically. Also BuddyPress doesn’t use roles to manage the content, and will likely never going to use since there’s no need of that. Also, having roles exposed to a role-management…[Read more]

It’s ok, I welcome your feedback, just trying to clarify things out. I recorded a video explaining all the details: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20301790/cw_caps.mkv As you mentioned, Courseware uses capabilities, but it will never going to use roles or that kind of user management, since roles are not welcomed anymore in the developers community…[Read more]

This was discussed previously, please read this comment:

Just remove current group students, and add new one.

First, there’s no such role Teacher and Student. Courseware doesn’t use roles at all. What you mentioned are just some labels/tags.

What about the described workflow, please read the handbook:

Disabling Courseware globally, will mean, you will have to set it per group manually.

Sorry but it looks like WP svn didn’t see my new tag. Everything should be fine now.

0.1.6 is out.
This is mostly a maintenance release. All the new 3.1/1.2.8 problems should be fixed with this release. Please report if not.

Also here’s the list with upcoming features that will be…[Read more]

Thanks, I will fix the WP_User_Search problem. Though it is weird that I have to ensure backcompat in my codebase :/

@djpaul thanks for heads up, I believe that was introduced with get_users()?

The problem with the calendar, is that I use the native WordPress calendar, and I couldn’t populate it with other “dates” than posts in a blog. Also, what you are talking about is already available in Calendar tab, the one in dashboard was left only to reflect news published on Courseware blog.

An update will be available this week, if it’s ok.

Thanks @djpaul, I forgot about MS admin menu.

@nexia, what do you mean?

Also, you should consider that is not just the one-to-many functionality, it should be also available to “detach” a selected event from it’s parent, clone it, and use as a standalone entry offering to the user a way to modify it!

As for now, all I can suggest is to pay attention before adding 52 entries 🙂 I know this doesn’t sound funny, but such a feature would require too much time for implementation and it’s not on top of my list for now. This, along with better Bibliography management are features that would be nice […]
