Configuring Settings

All of the addon’s settings live inside the Reign theme options page, on a Sensei LMS tab. The theme saves the form, and the values are stored inside the theme’s reign_options option under a sensei key.

Opening the settings

Section titled “Opening the settings”
  1. Go to the Reign theme options page in wp-admin.
  2. Open the Sensei LMS tab.
  3. Use the vertical sub-tabs to move between the setting groups, then click Update Settings.

The sub-tabs shown depend on your setup:

  • General - always available.
  • Sensei BuddyPress Integration - shown when BuddyPress is active.
  • Sensei Post Activity In Feed - shown when BuddyPress is active and hidden when BuddyBoss Platform is active.

General tab

Section titled “General tab”
Setting Key Effect

Sensei BuddyPress Integration tab

Section titled “Sensei BuddyPress Integration tab”

Available when BuddyPress is active. When the Groups component is not active, this tab shows a prompt to enable it instead of the fields.

Setting Key Effect
Enable BuddyPress Group Integration enable_group_integration Master switch for linking courses to groups.
Enable Course Visibility enable_course_visibility Allow instructors to link courses to groups on the group create and manage screens.
Group member enrolled in a course reing_sensei_user_enrolled_course Allow enrolment activity for groups.
Group member completes a course reign_sensei_user_completed_course Allow course-completion activity for groups.
Group member completes a lesson reign_sensei_user_updated_lesson Allow lesson-completion activity for groups.
Group member finished a quiz reign_sensei_user_finished_quiz Allow quiz activity for groups.

The four activity toggles set which activity types a group organizer is allowed to enable for their own group. Both the master group toggle and course visibility must be on for the group linking screens and Courses tab to appear.

The enrolment key reing_sensei_user_enrolled_course is spelled with the “reing” typo in the stored data on purpose. It is written and read with the same spelling, so the misspelling is intentional and load-bearing.

Sensei Post Activity In Feed tab

Section titled “Sensei Post Activity In Feed tab”

Available when BuddyPress is active with the Activity component, and hidden when BuddyBoss Platform is active. When the Activity component is off, this tab shows a prompt to enable it.

Setting Key Effect
Courses reign_sensei_course_creation_activity Post activity when an instructor publishes a new course.
Lessons reign_sensei_lesson_creation_activity Post activity when an instructor publishes a new lesson.
Quizzes reign_sensei_quiz_creation_activity Post activity when an instructor publishes a new quiz.
