E-Learning Scenario

Emerald can restrict by fields. But it cannot allow to purchase individual courses. You wil have to create plan for every course. Of course if you have limited static number or courses it is ok. But think you don't.

The only way for quickest solution is to modify paytoaccess and allow it to select restricted fields rather then whole article.

And even though, that will be parent-child fields. It will hide fields on the course page, but it wil not check access to the other article. It only work within the current article. I am just thinking out laud.

So what would be he solution to pay in one article and get access to the other articles?

There is only one answer. SSI have to be implemented into parent and child fields. So you could see buy button right before the list of related articles, and when you access related articles field that show parent check for access.

And it sounds reasonable and good feature :)

Hi Sergey,

Thank you very much for your suggestion, I think that I will move forward with integrating SSI into relate fields so that I can make this cross-check.

All the best,

Matias

That would be most easy way. because parent field have ID of the child field and vice versa. So it will be very easy to check, because you already know a field ID that keep order.

Interesting topic... I am following ;-)

I believe Matias already has some solution :) I Like tit very much.

Hello guys,

Sorry for delaying so much!

Yes indeed, we built www.marketcursos.com which is a spanish language where teachers register and sell their own courses (multiseller commerce). It was very challenging and required developing some custom plugins and extensions but lots of task of simplified by the use of Cobalt :D

We add lots of interesting features such as: - Course selling. Course is a parent type related to classes and exams. We created a custom field called "paytoaccessrelated" in order to let users access classes (related content) when they pay through PayPal. - Multiple type of contents in one class (thanks to Cobalt's upload field and renderization through GoogleDocsViewer) - Multiple choice exams (a type of content made through Cobalt), as well as history of students' answers and grades (even with certificates generated with Cobalt content type!!!). - Forums in each class (thanks to "Cobalt's Comments"). - Messaging between teachers and all of their student's classes. - Workflow for course publishing depending on user role and course status. Teachers need to sign an agreement before their courses are approved and ready to sell. - We integrated custom rules to allow better workflow on CommunityBuilder. - We integrated Emerald cupons in the "paytoaccessrelated" to allow discounts. This was really nice. - We integrated WizzAffiliate component through a plugin development to allow Cobalt and WizzAffiliate work together. - Changes in saler and buyer templates to allow a more complex level of commission (some sales were manually added through admin because sales were generated by third party platforms).

The project took 2 months including custom designs and development. It was very exciting and I believe the project took off because we decide to go ahead with a Cobalt-and-Tailored features.

The client is planning to add a lot more in the following months, so the list will continue.

Thanks a lot for all the help, this year we're taking two others project with the same approach of using Cobalt with some custom development! It's impressive what you can do with Cobalt and a bit of imagination :D

All the best!

Esto es excelente! I am very happy to look at this site. You are rock!

You know what? I believe there are number of people who would like to get their hands on those cusom fields and other customisations you've created. Is it possible to pack it and publish in Community Dept?

Thank you guys for your support and encouragement! I will revise our customizations and will try to pack them soon!

Thanks a lot, I'm very glad you liked it!

Just stumbled upon this older topic... any news on this?

Hi Pepperstreet!

This has been a terrible year filled with a lot of demanding projects, but cannot complain!

I haven't forgotten about this topic, I will focus on this after the storm is gone.

Best,

Matias
