Landing Generator

Plugin Description

The Landing Generator Plugin allows the creation of a custom login and registration page for each course, featuring:

Dedicated URL
Add registering users to a specific Org Chart node
Enroll users to the course
Choose Standard or Advanced registration, to display either the standard registration form or just the fields associated to the selected node
Direct login to the course
Display course and sponsor logo on the login/registration page
Add custom styles to the page

Global Configuration

The plugin requires the Forma API’s to be enabled and fully configured under

Administrator > Settings > General Configuration > API & SSO

Check the official forma documentation for details on the API configuration

Features

Plugins features are available inside the standard menu edit form. Go to:

Admin > Elearning > Course

And click to edit your course

Plugin Settings will be available under the tab “course landing”:

Landing Enabled: activate or deactivate the landing page
Landing node form enabled: use custom node fields instead of the standard registration form
Landing node ID: insert the ID of the node to be used for user registration and field selection (see note below)
Unavailable Text: Enter a text to be displayed when the course is closed or unavailable to user
Landing CSS: add a stylesheet class for the landing page
Course landing link: URL of the landing page

Notes:

platform registration must be enabled
to retrieve the node ID, go to user management, right-click on the “assign users” icon and copy/paste the link URL to your notepad. The node ID will be the last number in the URL, i.e: http://testing.formalms.org/testing/appCore/index.php?r=adm/usermanagement/assignuser&id=4

Multiple Templates and URL

The landing generator only creates landing pages with the default URL.

But if you simply change the part of your URL before the /index.php and replace it with the desired, different, URL it will also work with your other templates and URL’s.

[Your Platform URL]/index.php?r=lms/courseaccess/show&courseId=1&nodeId=1&no_redirect

Finally, it’s a good idea to use URL shorteners

Landing Page Layout

This is an example of how your login/registration page will look like.

If you inserted the course logo it will display on the left, and if you inserted the sponsor it will display on the right.
