Courses
Instructors publish courses; students buy them, watch the lessons and earn a certificate. Sells through Commerce, so a basket may hold a course and anything else at once.
Everything below is declared by Courses itself, so it describes this deployment rather than a manual — and it is rewritten whenever the program changes.
What it is
- Its key is Courses, which is also the prefix of every component it owns.
- It is bought: a site has it only when the registry records that this customer bought it.
What it may be allowed to do
These are the permissions it declares. A person sees one of its screens only where his role carries the matching permission.
- courses.manage
- courses.moderate
- courses.setup
- courses.view
What it puts on a page
10 components, each of which can be dropped onto a page in the composer.
Certificate
A finished course's certificate, printed and checked.
Placed as Courses.Certificate.
It takes no settings — it draws one way and has nothing to be told.
Course category
Every course on one shelf, opened from a link.
Placed as Courses.Category.
6 settings:
- How many per page — a number, left alone it is 12. Between 1 and 48.
- How many across — a number, left alone it is 3. Between 1 and 4.
- Include the shelves underneath — a switch, left alone it is true. A heading whose courses are all filed under its children would otherwise show none.
- Show the shelves underneath as links — a switch, left alone it is true.
- Show the classroom programmes on this shelf too — a switch, left alone it is true. A strip under the courses. Off on a site that runs no programmes — it draws nothing there anyway.
- Order — chosen from Newest first, By title, Cheapest first, left alone it is newest.
Course list
The catalogue as cards, with the browse filters.
Placed as Courses.List.
5 settings:
- How many per page — a number, left alone it is 12.
- How many across — a number, left alone it is 3. Between 1 and 4.
- Featured courses only — a switch, left alone it is false. For a home-page strip. The full catalogue page leaves it off.
- Strip mode — cards only — a switch, left alone it is false. Hides the browse bar and draws a heading and a more-link instead. For the home page.
- The strip's heading — typed in. Drawn above the cards in strip mode only.

Placed as Courses.Hero.
3 settings:
