Pre-sale question for Guru pro

objectivetop

This is a presale message

My name is Cosmin. Im interested in buying the Pro version of the Guru Component. Ive installed it and want to understand how it works. I have some questions:
- because I do not intend (for now) to use the Quizzes / Final Exams / Certificates features of the component, is there a way to make the "My Quizzes/Final Exams" and "My Certificates" tabs (links) disappear from the Users page?
- I do not intend to use the Kunena forum component to help the students. Is there a way to make the conversation area from the course interface disappear? I can see that in the back end / Kunana Forum / Lesson Comments Settings there is an option to forbid students to comment on lessons; I can not change the preset option ( Allow students to comment on lessons --> Yes )
- I can see that there is no specific URL for individual lessons but just one for the course. Is there a way to have individual URLs for lessons?
- I can see that the Video media has the option to be downloaded from within the lessons interface. Can this option be removed?
- I can see that by default both Students and Teachers get registered as the default Joomla Group "Registered" --> I suppose that the differentiation between Students and Teachers is made within the component itself ...; Does the registration process use the Joomla default system? I wonder if I can set up AcyMailling to place the registered students/teachers in specially created user mailing lists; AcyMailling seems to offer a plugin for Guru but this capability is not mentioned in the plugin's description.
- and finally the question: is the component well maintained and updated on a continuous basis? I ask you because there appear to be broken links ( Ex: From the back end interface / Help / Latest Version --> redirects to https://www.ijoomla.com/component/digistore/licenses/0?Itemid=0 with 404 error ).

I apologise for the multitude of text. I hope my questions make sense.

I thank you for your time and patience.
Kind regards

objectivetop is there a way to make the "My Quizzes/Final Exams" and "My Certificates" tabs (links) disappear from the Users page?

Hi
You can hide it via custom css tricks or remove the main code, but its an important part as if you will add quiz in course it will show to students.

Guru support Kunena comments, if user post a comment on course it will appear in Kunena forum only. Main workflow is from kunena to handle to comments.

objectivetop - I can see that there is no specific URL for individual lessons but just one for the course. Is there a way to have individual URLs for lessons?

Yes the lesson is part of the Course and can be accessible only via course, no specific URL supported.

objectivetop - I can see that the Video media has the option to be downloaded from within the lessons interface. Can this option be removed?

Yes it can be remove as browser auto show this option but video are saved on your server so if user can still get , Only students can download videos. btw if a user can see a video he can still make copy of it in any case.

Sorry the Registration use only Guru registration forum and not support the ACymail.

Guru does not support Digistore now, the updates are published on our site and you can download and install new version.

Hi
Guru use it's own Email system for the sending notifications to users. It does not have any integration to Acymail as this need components current system to change that wouldn't be possible since it's already in use by many sites.
