If featured content widget is empty - don't display?

Is there a way for us to configure our display so that if there is no content to display in a featured content widget, then the widget will not appear at all? For example, we have a New To Our Product featured content widget at the top of the page that will display the tagged content to match the group/sublicense. That works great. However, we would like to create a second featured content widget that has very specific content to display, but only for one of our groups/sublicenses...we don’t want the blank widget to display to everyone else. Am I missing something easy or a setting somewhere? Any other suggestions on ways around this that I am not thinking of?

Pano Dashboard: Custom Scripts Anyone?

I am seeking inspiration on what you may have attempted or achieved with the ability to add custom scripts and HTML to a Learner Dashboard page or any other page.  I have not had much success with it and looking to learn from you.  I have looked up what other folks have done and I may be overlooking the needed CSS to support the script or where to put any needed HTML to complete the statement.  Some folks have added a search in the activity widget as you see I am trying to do.  Some have added a switch for light or dark activity widget, and I have even heard of a learner progress graph.  Here is where I am.

Communites Dashboard Widget as a News & Information Hub

Just sharing.  So, we have a couple of Panoramas whose users have no sales rep and no CSM.  They got there by purchasing content ad hoc.  These Learners usually complete the course they bought and then may or may not ever log in again.  In effort to keep them engaged and feeling more like a part of something, I made a few modifications to the Communities (public forum) Widget.With CSS that I will share, I am preventing two way communication.  I just want to TELL and I don’t want comments/replies.  Uses for this include notifying folks how to navigate w a link to our Knowledge Base, showcasing new content available, etc.  Just keeping them engaged.  Two screenshots.  First is the Dashboard Learner view and then what happens when they click Join.  (I will change Join in translations later to View)}/* Hide Community Forum Input 8.21.24 */.comment__options__container, /* This hides the comment options including buttons */.items__list--comments, /* This hides the entire comments list */.ite

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?

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?

@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.  Disregard the colors.  This is from a course that I played with custom course css.  Not shared or applicable here. }/* Hide Course Feedback */div.panel.panel--secondary > textarea {    display: none !important;} .sidebar__testimonial__rating {  display: none;}.stars > span {  display: none;}

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!
