How can I display a syllabus of my online course content according to members and membership levels?

Question:

“I am currently in the process of creating my online course membership site using Wishlist, the course will be structured like this: 20 modules (every module is a membership level), every module contains 5-10 posts that will be dripped to the students on a weekly basis.

What I need are 2 things and I was wondering if you could tell be how they are possible to achieve (if they are possible in any way…):

1. Since my course contains a lot of content, I need my students to be able to track their progress so they would know in which module and post they are exactly.

2. I want the members dashboard to show the content divided to modules, and under each module will appear all the videos related to the relevant module. This would be like a syllabus of all the content.

How can I achieve these things? It’s very urgent for me as the course will be launched in 2 weeks.

Happy Holidays!

Answer:

Hi J.B,

It seems to me that we can help you achieve what you need for your course with a unique plugin we developed. I will address each of the things you need separately:

1. Regarding allowing members to track their progress:

From what I understand, you want your members to be able to see all the content that is available specifically to them. The best way to do that is by using a dynamic shortcode that presents every member their content.

You can achieve this by using our plugin Wishlist Smart Shortcodes. You need to use the Members Add-On. Using the add-on you can display a list of all the posts, pages, categories accessible to each member.

The shortcodes look like this:

[ wlss_member_posts ] – To display all the posts accessible to each member

[ wlss_member_pages ] – To display all the pages accessible to each member

[ wlss_member_categories ] – To display all the categories accessible to each member

2. Regarding the syllabus:

If you want to display a syllabus of the course, you will also need to use the same plugin (Wishlist Smart Shortcodes), but for this purpose you will need the Content Add-On.

The shortcodes usage:

* You need to replace the levels names below to the right levels in your membership site:

[ wlss_display_levels_posts levels=”Level 1,,Level 2,,Level 3″ ] – Display a list of all the posts accessible in each membership level by adding the shortcode below to any post/ page

[ wlss_display_levels_pages levels=”Level 1,,Level 2,,Level 3″ ] – Display a list of all the pages accessible in each membership level by adding the shortcode below to any post/ page

[ wlss_display_levels_categories levels=”Level 1,,Level 2,,Level 3″ ] – Display a list of all the categories accessible in each membership level by adding the shortcode below to any post/ page
