Working Group Session 4: REST API Proposal and Specification

July 11, 2019 / Events / / Leave a Comment

The LifterLMS Working Group will be meeting on July 17, 9-10am PT for our 4th session. The focus of this month’s meeting will be to review and discuss the proposal and specification for the forthcoming LifterLMS REST API.

In mid June we announced our product roadmap and release schedule for the rest of 2019. The first of these major releases is a REST API which will be made available as an addition to the free LifterLMS core plugin.

We’ve been quietly (but publicly) designing the specification for the REST API, and we’re now ready to present it to the working group.

Please review the specification and take a few minutes to submit your feedback and thoughts before attending the session.

The full (working) specification is documented at gocodebox.github.io/lifterlms-rest/.

You can submit your thoughts and feedback here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeQTBN-TOG9kPyccWJ_agZWmxuUwdaz7PGforoXRwW3IYscbA/viewform

LifterLMS Version 3.33.0

May 21, 2019 / Release Notes / / Leave a Comment
Updates
  • Added the ability for site administrators to delete (completely remove) enrollment records from the database.
  • Catalogs sorted by Order (menu_order) now have an additional sort (by post title) to improve ordering consistency for items with the same order, thanks @pondermatic!
  • Hooks in the dashboard order review template now pass the LLMS_Order.
LifterLMS Blocks
  • Updated to version 1.5.1
  • All blocks are now registered only for post types where they can actually be used.
  • Only register block visibility settings on static blocks. Fixes an issue causing core (or 3rd party) dynamic blocks from being managed within the block editor.
Bug Fixes
  • If an enrolled student accesses checkout for a course/membership they’re already enrolled in they will be shown a message stating as much.
  • Removed a redundant check for the existence of an order on the dashboard order review template.
  • When an order is deleted, student enrollment records for that order will be removed. This fixes an issue causing admins to not be able to manage the enrollment status of a student enrolled via a deleted order.

  • Fixed an issue causing quiz questions to generate publicly accessible permalinks which could be indexed by search engines.

Custom automated User Journeys with Enrollment API

May 16, 2019 / Tutorials / , , , , , / Leave a Comment

Introduction

LifterLMS has a really simple, straightforward and clean API to manage user enrollment into courses and memberships.

In this tutorial, we’ll explore this API in some detail. Using a couple of examples, we’ll build a few custom and automated user journeys. Finally, we’ll leave you with a couple of exercises that you can use to strengthen your understanding of the Enrollment API and explore its possibilities.

Is this for only for Programmers?

This tutorial is written for the benefit of non-programmers too. Concepts are simplified and abstracted for lesser details. Developers are encouraged to check the source code (linked to wherever relevant).

The focus is more on concepts so that course creators can use them to design user journeys that could then be implemented by a developer.
