TfLearnpath

TF Learnpath Module for Joomla

The TF Learnpath module (mod_tflearnpath) is a Joomla module designed to display a structured learning path for courses managed by the TF Learn component (com_tflearn). It provides a visual representation of course modules and lessons, with support for multiple layouts (block, accordion, or tabs) and user access restrictions. Perfect for e-learning websites, this module helps users navigate their learning journey with ease.

Features

• Dynamic 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 enrollment, displaying restricted lessons with lock icons.
• Customizable Styling: Add custom CSS classes for the module title and icons for completed/incomplete lessons.
• Lightweight and Efficient: Built to work seamlessly with com_tflearn, with minimal overhead.

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). Required.
• 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.

Usage

• 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.
