Design & Marketing

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?

Hi there,Has anyone used Smartling to localize their TI pages? Our company uses it and we’re contemplating using that over Localize.js. Would like to learn from others’ experiences.Lisa

Has anyone successfully customized the sidebar on the Article layout. I would like to make use of the available white space to include anchor links to section titles and related articles.  Here is where I am at currently and here is a rough cut and paste of where I am trying to go All I have managed is to figure out how to hide the rating element.   

HIWe are exploring ways to utilize Thought Industries course/catalog data on our marketing automation solutions. Could you confirm if TI platform supports providing an RSS feed (or similar auto-updating feed) of course information (titles, descriptions, URLs, publish dates, etc.) for this use case? → embedding TI product RSS to marketing emailsIf a direct RSS feed is not available, are there recommended approaches for exporting course catalog data in a way that can be consumed by marketing automation tools (for example, via API endpoints or scheduled exports)?Thank you for your guidance.

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?

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.

We are looking to use an email marketing tool, to help us send emails to our users. (for tracking, analytics, etc.) I was wondering if there are any email marketing tools that integrate with Ti, so that I could create a query and have it send to all people who fit the parameters. We are not using any other integrations that would assist with this currently. Thanks!

Hi Everyone. We would like to update our website and make it cleaner and more streamlined - but we’re looking for ideas. We’re still using our original design, which you can see at: https://training.waukeshaengines.com.If you are willing to share your URL either in a response here, or to me privately at: annette.zurawski@innio.com it would be appreciated.Also let me know if you created the layout using just the native tools, or if you used a lot of CSS to develop the look. Thank you!!

Hello,I’m looking for a solution to create custom pages that will be visible and available only for users from the specific panorama. If there is the way to do it? Maybe using the coding?I checked the TI articles and there is the information that we can enable separate branding for Panorama but then we can customize just the learner dashboard and home page. I would appreciate any suggestions.Thank you,Alena  

Is there a way for me to move the Rating (5 stars) to the top or bottom of an article/video rather than only displaying it to the side in a sidebar?The sidebar takes up so much space on the page, so I have turned it off, but I would like to get feedback on individual articles/videos. So, any options for displaying above or below? 

I posted this before and have improved the code. ​@Community Team , you may want to merge with “Pop Up/Slide Out Notification”. Many of you tried this and could not get it to work.  This is not the ONLY way to communicate an outage, upcoming course, etc to your LEARNER DASHBOARD, but it is the coolest.  It floats up and down the screen until they dismiss it and it is manual.  It is a custom HTML widget for placement.<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"><style>body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}.callout { position: fixed; bottom: 20px; right: 10px; max-width: 250px; background: white; border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: 2px 2px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); overflow: hidden; z-index: 9999;}.callout-header { background: #911313;

I like the Example 1 and would like to implement it, but when I do, the text of the pages in the menu gets even smaller and is hard to read. How do I change the page titles to a bigger size in the menu bar? 

A picture says it all.  Here is our new co branded Pano Dashboard Header.  Yin and Yang.  They on the left and us on the right.Here is the CSS to accomplish this..manager-dashboard__header { background-image: url("https://d36ai2hkxl16us.cloudfront.net/course-uploads/c50f33e0-665b-4906-a26e-7d18bc3b9c5e/j7d8icugc9gg-Interplay.plus.ITI.Logo.BIG.png"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: right 16px center; background-size: 198px auto; padding-right: 198px; /* logo width + spacing buffer */ min-height: 60px;}NOTE:   I made a post about how media has to have a host.  This pic is on a custom page and I am borrowing its URL. I made a page just for images with no placeholders.

To host and reuse images within the Thought Industries LMS: Create a Custom Page Title the page clearly (e.g., Image Host - DO NOT DELETE) to avoid accidental removal. Add a Single Column Widget On the page, add a Single Column Widget. Insert your desired image into this widget using the native image upload tool. Get the Image URL After uploading, right-click the image and select “Copy image address”. This gives you the direct URL to the image, hosted on Thought Industries’ CDN. Use the Image Anywhere You can now embed or reference this URL wherever needed in the LMS. Example: On the Admin Dashboa

Has anyone implemented breadcrumbs for navigation? Our devs say that the backend and the structure of the URLs isn’t built to support this natively, but for an improved UX we are seriously considering this.

Hi! We’re trying to redesign the way the course detail page looks. Since the thumbnail is so large, it pushes important information past the scroll point. We’d rather the big thumbnail be hidden. Is anyone doing this already? How? So instead of this: Something more like 

Hi,I’m trying to see if we can adjust our course features icons from the default (see below). Has anyone done this via CSS? Thanks,Ori 

I tried both of these code examples and neither one of them worked or did anything on my learner dashboards. Am I missing something that I should be doing beyond copying and pasting in the code and changing the colors to our branded colors? Am I supposed to add the class in myself with some other code somewhere? 

When working on a widget.  You can simply add to class name, the word “hide” and the widget you are working on will not show to users.  

hello everybody,happy wednesday.many of my customers have said that the little house icon (that takes them back home) is way to small and way to faint to catch their eye. has anyone figured out a way to change this? i’d like to make it larger and easier to see.thanks 

We would like our redemption page to be a bit more generic since our pano users land there sometimes too - but I can’t find any way to remove header, footer or global navigation links. Any custom code that would remove them?

We’re looking to create a single live event product that includes two separate webinars, but we need each webinar to generate its own separate Zoom confirmation email upon registration.A few key details:We want the webinars to appear as two live event pages rather than a course format. Ideally, the user registers once and gets access to both, but receives distinct Zoom confirmation emails. We use our own eCommerce system, so we’re also considering how that factors in. We have not used Learning Paths, but could this be a work around?Has anyone successfully set up something similar in Thought Industries? Any creative workarounds or best practices would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!
