Writing Plugins for Classroom / elearning

  • I want to write plugins that will accomplish the following:

    Users can be teachers or students. Teachers can have classes. Students can register for classes. Each class will have it’s own wordpress “page”. Students can only access class pages that they are registered for.

    While I’m a pretty good PHP programmer, i’m just not sure where to start. I have read the docs on creating plugins. I understand the process and how to do it.

    What i’m not sure is what actions/filters I would be using to accomplish the above.

    If someone might point me in the right direction, give me a brief overview of what actions/filters I should look at using and why, i think I could take it from there.

    thanks

  • I’m afraid I have no idea about how it would all start from a programmer’s pov, but being a non-programmer, I would (for the moment) use something like ‘Role Manager’ to manage the access by student, and use a plugin like Access by Cats to restrict users to different categories. Something like that anyway ??

    Looking forward to see what plugin could be developed from this though!

    Sorry about gate crashing the thread.

    maybe this is helpfully for you ..

    role manager is not the same ..but your plugin sounds beautiful …:-)
