Hi,

Just wondering if I could get some advice about the best way to set this up.

Here’s the scenario:
We use LearnDash for courses and Buddypress for our forums and groups.
We want to have multiple groups of people (like classes) go through the 1 course.

Each group should only be allowed to chat to people in their own group (class).
So for example,

• We would have a group called: Creative Writing course – 10 May 2016.<br />
  People in this group will go through the course together and be able to chat to each other.
• We would have another group called: Creative Writing course – 20 May 2016.<br/>
  People in this group will go through the course together and be able to chat to each other. They won’t be able to chat to people in the 10 May group, and vise versa.

Over time we will have hundreds of groups. So ideally we only want to set up 1 course (in Learndash) and have multiple groups going through the 1 course.

What would be the best way to set up this scenario?

Thanks for you everyone!

Cheers,
Tracy

Have you tried making the groups Private?

Have you asked LearnDash?
They have a BP extension, afaik.
And may be able to make suggestions.

Thanks @shanebp. Yes, I contacted LearnDash over night and they suggested we look BuddyPress.

They said:
“I would look into BuddyPress. This has private groups and you can associate courses with different groups as well as allow each group have a private forum. You can find our add-on for BuddyPress here:
http://support.learndash.com/buddypress/&#8221;

I had a question about associating courses with different groups. I could only associate a course with 1 group. Is it possible to associate a course with multiple groups?

We would have the course Creative Writing
And multiple groups that we’d like to associate with it. Is that possible?

What does the association actually do? Do we need to associate the group with a course?

Thanks for your help!
