Hello,
looks like you didn’t install BuddyPress (which is a dependency).
Could you try installing it, and test again.
Thanks.

Stas,
Great plugin! Have a small problem though. I installed the courseware plugin with the default buddypress theme, however am unable to find the Courseware dashboard. I followed your video, and somewhere you install your own theme, then viola… the courseware dashboard appears.
How can I get to the courseware dashboard to create classes?
Thanks,
Kamal-
Stas Sușcov
Courseware dashboard is available in every group that has it enabled.
To have Courseware enabled globally, enable that option from wp-admin page.
Please follow the handbook for in detail instructions:
http://scholarpress.github.com/buddypress-courseware/handbook.html#configurationAlso, please, for further questions, use the forums:

It’s midterm and I need your feedback my friends! You can download the latest Courseware from:
https://github.com/scholarpress/buddypress-courseware/archives/master
You will need latest stable WordPress and BuddyPress 1.3 to be able to use that.
What you get in the new release:- Quizzes support for assignments with a brand new form builder, automatic grading and responses with correct/wrong answers
- Improved and simplified workflow, replaced sub-courses/learning styles with lectures that have a handbook navigation style (tree, next, previous), a bookmarking system (so you will never forget where you left)
- An updated UI/UX with icons, cleaner interface and a simplified administration dashboard
- An updated dashboard with progress indicator (based on solved assignments)
- Zen mode for editors!
- Security improvements for uploads (uploads are now private for every user/post)
- A compatibility layer so users will never get installation problems because their BuddyPress has a component disabled!
- Other small fixes, here and there
Bonus!
- A plugin to fix your uploads: https://github.com/stas/uploads/archives/master
This will bring Courseware close to 0.9 release (0.9 because with the features from above, I can finally start calling it a full featured LMS, it’s not a hack anymore). Users who want to play with it, but don’t want to install it, use the http://courseware.nerd.ro sandbox!
Feedback is welcome!!!
Thank you.-
John
Thanks, Stas! I’m really looking forward to using it after we upgrade to 1.3. In the meantime, I’ll play at nerd.ro. Many deep and appreciative thanks to you!

“Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bpsp_textdomain() (previously declared in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-courseware/courseware.php:40) in /wp-content/plugins/scholarpress-buddypress-courseware-b0c9df8/courseware.php on line 42″

jayanratna
sorry for my previous comment i have sorted out the issue. But now none of the courseware pages work. Please help me
-
Stas Sușcov
1st. problem is that you were having 2 Courseware copies of the plugin
2nd problem, looks like you did not enable Courseware globally nor per group, check the Courseware options page or group settings page for that

(1.) I am unable to ADD A BOOK in Bioblography. The error message says, “Book cannot be added.” I tried the ISBN-10 first and then the ISBN-13 listed on Amazon.
(2.) When I try to CREATE A NEW ASSIGNMENT, two Courseware horizontal nav bars appear at the bottom of the screen the “Create a new assignment” link is highlighted, and there is nowhere to go with it.
(3.) I cannot find a CREATE A NEW LECTURE button.
(4) The COURSE DESCRIPTION field box is a simple text box, there is not entry editor facility as shown on the Courseware handbook page.

Could we please have support for WordPress 3.2 on your amazing plugin

Stas Sușcov
The quiz builder is a totally different project and I DO plan to release a plugin using it for creating WordPress forms.
In nearest future, but after gsoc!-
Jayan Ratna

Hey Stas, thank you for a great plugin! I have a question, does the version in the wordpress respiratory include the quizzes feature? If not, in what time frame do you estimate it will? Best regards!
-
Stas Sușcov
Hi Thomas, and thanks.
Latest 0.9.x version has it! Install it right from the plugins menu in WordPress.

This is great ! Hi Stas, I installed the BP scholarpress courseware, and somehow it won´t display right. I really need this plugin for my school, it is brilliant.
I run genesis framework, genesis connect and BuddyPress. Do you have any idea to how to solve this matter?Are you planning to make this plugin in other languages?
-
Stas Sușcov
Hi Ingebjørg,
unfortunately I can’t help with the commercial themes
You need to find a designer for you to help.
Sorry I can’t help more. Btw, nice website!!!

Stas, this is a wonderful plugin. Thank you very much.
Might I ask where the assignment questions are stored? I am trying to figure out how to import many questions at once. I have searched the database and found the lecture and assignment entries, but it seems the assignment questions are stored elsewhere.
-
Stas Sușcov
All the courseware content is stored inside post types, native WordPress objects.
Questions are stored inside a meta.
Also, in future, please check the Courseware forums.

Hi Stas,
Good day!
I think I’m missing something, but I could not add any quiz. I can see the dropdown to add quiz/test but everytime I “save” it, it’s not keeping.
Am I missing something with my install?
I’d like to highlight that I have only these plugins installed:
Achievements
Akismet and the courseware.Hoping for some response.

Stas Sușcov
Hello Ray,
I would like to ask you to post to Courseware forums the version of BuddyPress and WordPress you are using. And if you did any upgrades recently to any of these.
Thanks.
