Please find the overview of Courses Integration settings in the Features block below.
NOTE: IntelliCart Settings can be found under IntelliCart > Settings tab, OR under Site Administration > Plugins > Local plugins > IntelliCart.
1. Enable courses integration
Select the option for synchronization courses with products and vice versa, if needed.
- None - Courses and products won't be synchronized and you'll be able to create them separately.
- Sync Course - Choose this option so that IntelliCart will create new course when new product is created. The course will be created under the most previously created category if sync of course categories is not enabled (see Enable Categories Sync setting below). The course will be automatically assigned to the product. New course will have next settings:
- the full and short course names will be the same as a product name;
- the course ID number will be the same as a product code (if set up);
- the course will have the same start/end date as product displaying time (if set up);
- product description will become as a course summary;
- product image will become as a course image.
- Sync Product - Choose this option so that IntelliCart will create new product when new course is created. The product will be created under the most previously created category if sync of product categories is not enabled (see Enable Categories Sync setting below). The course will be automatically assigned to the product. New product will have next settings:
- the product name will be the same as a full course name;
- the product code will be the same as a course default ID;
- the product will have the same displaying start/end time as course start/end dates (if set up);
- course summary will become as a product description;
- course image will become as a product image.
2. Enable on/off course sync
Enable this box to add an extra setting to the product editing page called Do not sync with course under Product Options block turning that on will allow you to not create course automatically after product creation.
NOTE: This setting works in collaboration with "Sync Course" option from Enable courses integration setting above.
I.e., you have selected "Sync Course" option from Enable courses integration setting. By default, when you create new product, IntelliCart will automatically create new course to synchronize them (read more in description above). But if you enable this setting and turn on Do not sync with course setting during product creation, a new course won't be created for synchronization.
3. Auto-enroll instructor in course
Enable this box so that Instructor, which was added to the product, will be automatically enrolled into assigned products courses.
NOTE: This setting works in collaboration with Role for instructor is enrolled to course setting below.
4. Role for instructor is enrolled to course
Select role so that Product Instructor will be auto-enrolled into product courses(s) with this specific role.
NOTE: This setting works in collaboration with Auto-enroll instructor in course setting above.
5. Enable Categories Sync
Select the option for synchronization course categories with product categories and vice versa, if needed.
- None - Course and product categories won't be synchronized and you'll be able to create them separately.
- Sync Courses Categories - Choose this option so that IntelliCart will create new course category when new product category is created. The course category will be created on a Top level in all cases. New course category will have next settings:
- the course category name will be the same as a product category name;
- product category description will become as a course category description.
- Sync Products Categories - Choose this option so that IntelliCart will create new product category when new course category is created. The product category will be created on a Top level if the course category was created on a Top level, and under the correct top category if there was a categories tree (so the full tree will be re-created). New product category will have next settings:
- the product category name will be the same as a course category name;
- course category description will become as a product category description.
6. Display Create new Course/Product in catalog
Enable this box to add a new block on Products Catalog > My Courses tab that will allow you to quickly create new course right from there without no need to navigate to Site Administration. User will not be enrolled into the course after creation. So he will not see course after creation.
NOTE: The block for product creation will appear for all users who have permissions of course creation on system or category (course category) level.
7. Assigned to product courses limit
Add the maximum number of courses that could be assigned to one product. "0" is set for unlimited. Read how to assign courses to products HERE.
I.e., you have entered "3" in this setting. In this case, you won't be able to assign to more than 3 courses to the product.
8. Autoenroll users to new courses on added to product
Enable this box so that when you add new courses to product, users who are assigned to the product's vendors and have already purchased this product, will be automatically enrolled to the courses.
I.e., you have created product, assigned course A to that, and also assigned a vendor to this product. Then user from the vendor purchased a product, therefore was enrolled into the course A. After that you have assigned course B to the same product. In this case, user from vendor will be automatically enrolled into course B as well as he have already purchased selected product.
9. Enable courses search on 'Product details' page
Enable this box to add a search box to the Courses tab on Product Details page.
