WIll Courseware work under BP 1.7?

I just tested it and it’s not working…

Oww yes that sucks. I’m building an educational site and thought of courseware because it should integrate nicely with buddypress and bbpress. Alas.
So what now? Will it be updated or do I look further?

Hello, You can fix it with this:
https://github.com/Courseware/buddypress-courseware/issues/97

I was wondering the same thing please.
Want to upgrade to 1.7 in the hope it will speed up my site, but if it doesn’t work with courseware I guess I wont.

That is one problem, it appears there is another problem there ” Add Response Button Missing ” and other we may not know about.

By the look at it the plugin was last updated in October 2012, do we know if the team are working on it to be 1.7 compatible.

I’m tempted to go for it anyway and let people know what the problems are (tester if you like).

@mlopezcol & @hkcharlie…
The link that you provided did resolve the issue.

However, this is still a “work-around”. Hoping to see an update from Courseware soon.

Go to:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-courseware/groups/groups.class.php

Then, go to: line 44

Add the following:

if ( !isset( $bp->courseware ) || !is_object($bp->courseware)) {
   $bp->courseware = new stdClass;
}

Final result:

function activate_component() {
   global $bp;
   if ( !isset( $bp->courseware ) || !is_object($bp->courseware)) {
     $bp->courseware = new stdClass;
   }
   $bp->courseware->id = 'courseware';
   $bp->courseware->slug = 'courseware';
   $bp->active_components[$bp->courseware->slug] = $bp->courseware->id;
}

I hope this helps.

@AIEstrada – THANK YOU for this fix. I finally upgraded our BP installation today from 1.6.5 to 1.8.1 and the fix you posted worked.

I am very grateful!
