A Little CSS Can Go a Long Way

I am so excited to share that I had to make it a post. @Community Team if this isn’t a good share, feel free to take it down. I want to show everyone that this was not easy, but you can really create a unique learner journey with just CSS. I am not ashamed to say that I use Chat GPT 4.0 to help me but after you get used to using “Inspect Page”, recognizing syntax and classes, and asking AI for some help you can do amazing things with Ti and we are fortunate that they allow it (at your own risk). If you have a sandbox, I suggest you try these things there first but check out my before and after of the catalog widget in Calendar view. It’s so fun and rewarding to achieve exactly what YOU need. BEFORE and AFTER (remove search bar, remove custom field index, center content)BeforeAFTER TARGETED CSS FOR ONE PANOAfter

Learner Content Search functionality

Our current content is stored within courses, we have a few quick reference guides so users can find documentation quicker. We have implemented drop-down header links for our most popular content, we have activated SEO search and have populated keywords, and we have added for each course a “topic” menu option. My question is can the “Search for Content” option return results for individual PDF pages within course materials instead of showing you the list of courses the PDF page instructions might be available in and having to then search within the course to find the PDF page?

Any widgets that can show the courses/content/objects in a Learning Path?

I’m looking to build a page that has courses from all the Learning Paths a learner may have access to. Here’s a terrible sketch from Draw.io.Navigation Bar at the top with links to relevant pages, etc. etc.Hero Image welcoming them to this specific page.Learning Path 1 Widget, dynamically shows courses/content that is in that Learning Path and that Learning Path only.Learning Path 2 Widget, same as Learning Path 1, dynamically shows courses/content that is in that Learning Path.Repeat for LP 3, 4, 5, etc.Has anyone already done something like this? Other alternatives I’ve thought of was running a SP Page that has all the courses on it, but that loses the dynamic aspect and it becomes another thing we need to manage. Thoughts?

ANYONE USING Awards and Badges?

Hi there, looking for folks who are using awards and badges in TI. (not credly or outside vendors)We are struggling with ideas on how to continue to encourage earning points for different badges, when you can only see your status/leaderboard for one badge at a time (determined by the admin). Do you change the “priority” of the badges weekly? Keep it the same? do something different? Wish the leaderboard was more dynamic and interactive for learners. :(Any thoughts or suggestions or sharing how you use this is welcomed!

Can a subscription be added to a collection, along with specific content?

We would like to create collections that comprise of a content piece (Certification exam) and a subscription (all courses). TI documentation seems to suggest that this is possible, but we have not figured out a way to do it. Do you have any suggestions on how to achieve this, if it’s indeed possible? Thank you!

How are you using training credits/tokens?

Hey folks! Our org is looking into switching over from people paying outright for courses, to using training credits or tokens instead. Is anyone else doing that? How? What challenge and benefits have you seen?

User Details Full Screen. Content Titles Full Row Height. Defaults.

We wanted the default of all Admin Nav tables to be auto expanded to full width. Names and titles and Tags were getting cut off or spilling over. Here is what I have come up with so far to get this result. This will make the column view full width for Users and Full Row Height for Content and Users. Enjoy./* Maximize Manager User container full screen. 4.26.24 */.manager .section-container { max-width: 1298px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;}.flex-table__col--tooltip { white-space: normal;}.tag-pill { display: inline-block; /* or display: block; */ /* Optionally, you can also set a maximum width or width to control the wrapping behavior */ max-width: 100%;} /* width: 100%; */}.user-table__container { display: word-wrap; }.flex-table__col .flex-table__col__wrapper { /* Allow the content to wrap */ white-space: normal; /* Expand the height of the row to fit the content */ display: inline-block; /* Optionally, you can also set a maximum width or width to control

@grace.filkins @JulieC We did not want to use the stars, open text feedback, or any other element but the text (found in translations) and the exit button. Here is the code and what ours looks like.

Anyone use subscriptions?

Hello, Wondering if anyone uses subscriptions and how you’re using them - we launched our subscription last month and it’s been quite the process. Hoping to gain ideas and insights that might help from someone who has been using them successfully. Any examples or ideas you can share?

Accessibility

We have an accessibility checker that runs on our site - in the last run, it flagged a bunch of new issues as the requirements have been updated….most of which I cannot change. Anyone else working on Accessibility for their instance?

Powered by TI

Hello! I vaguely remember during Office Hours the ability to disable the “Powered by Thought Industries” on our site. I searched my notes, the admin site, and help articles but was not successful in locating this information. Does anyone recall where we could go to review this within the platform? Thank you!

Chatbot

Anyone using a chatbot on their site? We would primarily like to use it for our public-facing pages as people are considering buying and getting started with our training. We might consider it in our courses as well, but we have limited live support hours.If so, what system are you using? I would love to see it in action - can you share a link if public-facing? Thank you!

Using Ribbons to highlight new and updated content?

We’re considering to use ribbons to put some emphasis on our new and updated courses. But since the ribbons have to be manually applied or removed, we have to figure out when we will remove them. Does anyone else use ribbons in this way? How are you handling it?

Edit Learner Access Widget Display

We use ILT sessions inside of Learning Paths. The ideal and designed UX for the content is for the learner to find the LP, open it and see their content laid out in order. We have some pre-work set up before the live session that lives in another course (we don’t want it in the same ILT template for many reasons), then the ILTs, then some post work in anther course. The challenge we’re running into is that when the learner is enrolled in an ILT, the “events” tab appears in the learner access widget and defaults to be the front tab. Then the learner sees the event first and never clicks on the LP tab, essentially bypassing the other materials. We would love to find a way to hide this tab altogether (or at a minimum have the LP default to the front always), so that they don’t get an events tab and have to go into the LP to get to the event. We’ve tested out various codes to hide it and can’t seem to get it to work. Anyone work through something like this?

Google "# Day Delivery" Removal

Does anyone know how to remove the delivery day information within Google? This information is nowhere in Ti, but I was wondering if anyone else has figured out how to remove this information when someone does a Google search for a specific content item.The screenshot below shows an online course, so delivery is automatic)

Course Bottom Navigation

Have you created custom course navigation buttons for online courses for the bottom of the page that look just like those at the top of the page? If Yes, I could use your help. Here is what I want repeated at the bottom of the page. It is not just CSS because there is no class created for bottom navigation.

Featured Content Widget

Question - Will the upcoming new Site Builder 2.0 (from Cognition) have the ability to re-arrange content in a featured widget using manually entered content? Presently to change the order of the tiles in production, you have to re-create the Featured Content widget listing in the desired order.

Pop Up/Slide Out Notifications

Are we as Ti customers able to incorporate notifications on our own customers’ dashboards that are similar to what Ti uses to promote their new content/fixes (homepage pop-up) and Cognition registration (slide-out in the bottom corner of the homepage)? If yes, how do we go about that? Is it all CSS?Aside from Learner Notification emails, we want to use notifications that will appear while the learner is either on their dashboard or at check-out.

H1 Headers and Google Search Results

Hey! I’m looking into the back-end of our website (learning.firetech.com), we don’t have any H1 headers. I can’t seem to find where this can be changed and adjusted within TI. I have changed meta titles and descriptions but that isn’t helping our Google search results. Any help and advice would be appreciated!

Is there CSS to adjust ribbon placement?

I have created HTML & CSS for callout notifications to our learners. However, the Ribbons are overlaying on the HTML image. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to adjust the placement so the ribbon appears behind the callout?
