TF Learnpath Module for Joomla

The TF Learnpath module (mod_tflearnpath) is a Joomla module designed to display lessons for courses in the TF Learn component (com_tflearn).

When you install and configure TF Learnpath, it provides a visual representation of course modules and lessons, with support for multiple layouts (block, accordion, or tabs) and access restrictions. Perfect for e-learning websites, this module helps users navigate their learning journey with ease.

TF Learn is a great LMS for Joomla! But students found navigation around course content hard to use. This module makes it easier for students to find their lesson content, by making it easily available inside a module.

Features

• Learning Path Display: Shows course modules and lessons in a clean, organized format.
• Multiple Layout Options: Choose between block, accordion, or tabs layouts to match your site’s design.
• Access Control: Integrates with com_tflearn to check user access, displaying restricted lessons with lock icons.
• Customizable Styling: Add custom CSS classes for the module title and icons for completed/incomplete lessons.

Requirements

• Joomla Version: Joomla 4.x or 5.x (for the most recent version of TF Learn)
• TF Learn Component: You should have already installed TF Learn and added some courses, modules and lessons.
• TF Library: Requires the Tech Fry Library to work.
• PHP Version: PHP 7.4 or higher.

Installation

1. Download or install the Module with this URL
   • Install via Joomla’s Extension Manager (Extensions > Manage > Install) the latest release from this link.
   • The module will check for the TechFry Library during installation and prompt you if it’s missing.
2. Enable the Module:
   • Go to Extensions > Modules.
   • Search for “TF Learnpath” and click to edit.
   • Set the status to “Published” and assign it to the desired position and menu items.

Module Parameters

• Course ID (course_id): Specify the ID of the com_tflearn course to display (e.g., 2).
• Layout (path_layout): Choose the display style:
  • block: Simple stacked layout.
  • accordion: Collapsible sections (defaults to all closed).
  • tabs: Tabbed navigation.
• Lesson Order (lessons_order_col, lessons_order_dirn): Sort lessons by a field (e.g., ordering, title) in ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order.
• Module Title Class (module_title_class): Add a CSS class for the course title (e.g., text-center).
• Icons (path_incomplete_icon, path_complete_icon, path_lock_icon): Customize Font Awesome icons for lesson states (e.g., fa-regular fa-square for incomplete).

Example Setup

1. Create a course in com_tflearn with modules and lessons.
2. In the module settings:
   • Set Course ID to your course’s ID.
   • Choose accordion layout.
   • Assign the module to a position (e.g., sidebar-right) and a menu item.
3. Save and view the frontend—your learning path will display with collapsible sections.

Features

• Frontend Display: The module shows the course title, followed by sections (modules) and their lessons. Lessons are linked to their respective pages in com_tflearn if accessible.
• Access Restrictions: If a user isn’t enrolled, restricted lessons show a lock icon and message.
• Customization: Add custom CSS to style the .tflearn-path container, icons, or layout elements.
