Guru Joomla 4 Support: Add Triggers for Student/Teacher Events

apostolatefaith

During the Guru work to support Joomla 4, you should support triggering events for Student/Teacher activity so plug-in can be created to act on them.

This will benefit both Guru users and Joomlart as they will be able to benefit from other Joomla 3rd-party developers who can add-value by supporting Guru in their components.

Currently, Guru does not support triggers for events, relying on single page requests made to com_guru to execute SQL codes to check for student purchases, certificates, course completions, quiz & exam activity slams performance.

Create Joomla triggers for these events: student purchases, certificates, course completions, quiz & exam activity slams performance.

Thank you for your consideration my friends!

Any updates when we Guru Pro can support triggering events for Student/Teacher activity so I can have a plug-in developed that will act on them? Looking to act on events for: student purchases, certificates, course completions, quiz & exam activity.

This will benefit both Guru users and Joomlart as they will be able to benefit from other Joomla 3rd-party developers who can add-value by supporting Guru in their components. I am going to add support for EasySocial.

Currently, Guru does not support triggers for events, relying on single page requests made to com_guru to execute SQL codes to check for these things and it slams performance.

Thanks for the update!

Hi,
Sorry for this late.
The implementation of these events requires more time, as our team is currently occupied with other tasks. However, based on our project plan, we are scheduled to implement this feature in the Guru version that is compatible with PHP 8.2.

I hope this information is helpful.
