Is there a way for students to subscribe to a paid class for x days for free, then after that trial period get charged?

There is no such feature in the JoomlaLMS subscriptions. There are two ways: Teacher can manually enroll learners for a small period and after that they should buy paid subscription. Also you can create 2 different courses: 1st - trial course with limited possibilities and materials; 2nd - full paid course.

During file uploading I get the following message: "Upload failed. Contact administrator of the site to check 'upload_max_filesize' and 'post_max_size' PHP settings".

Check the following:

1) Make sure that all folders in Admin BackEnd -> help -> System Info -> Directory Permissions are writable;
2) Make sure that the folders listed in the JoomlaLMS configuration -> tab 'files' are configured and writable;
3) 'upload_max_filesize' and 'post_max_size' PHP settings (this is set in php.ini file - to learn its location please enter Backend -> Help -> System info -> PHP information -> 'Configuration File (php.ini) Path') - must be more than the file size;
4) 'max_execution_time' and 'max_input_time' PHP settings - set in seconds. If uploading and processing the file takes more time than is specified here, the uploading process can be interrupted;
5) 'memory_limit' PHP setting - the .zip uploading and unpacking process can be interrupted if the allocated memory is not enough;
6) If you use 'uploading from FTP' feature, then check if your file is located in the 'media' folder and 'read' permissions are configured for it;
7) Connection to the server can be interrupted during uploading - please try again.

I'd like to translate your JoomlaLMS, where can I get the language file?

1) Install our software (e.g. trial version);
2) Open the Joomla Administration area -> Components -> JoomlaLMS -> Languages;
3) Export 'english' language . You will get a zip file with several language files in it;
4) Translate the messages in the exported files, rename the language zip and nested folder to the new language name;
5) Import new language zip file at the 'JoomlaLMS -> Languages -> Import' page;
Also, you can edit language files on your server, all language files are located in the components/com_joomla_lms/languages/  folder.

How can I change JoomlaLMS design template?

JoomlaLMS doesn't have a design template - it inherits your Joomla site template. To change your JoomlaLMS section design, you need to change Joomla template.

My SCORMs aren’t marked as completed in JoomlaLMS. How can I solve the SCORM tracking issue?

To solve this issue please do the following:

1. Upgrade your JoomlaLMS to the latest version – JoomlaLMS 1.2.5 (please note that only source code changes won’t be saved upon upgrade, all the data will be preserved);

2. If you are using IE9 please note that one of the older versions of Flash Player has a bug which can lead to communication issues between iframe and parent window on IE9; this bug in Adobe Flash player can cause tracking issues between SCORMs and LMS.

In order to solve this problem we suggest forcing ‘IE8 mode’ in IE9 browser for your entire site; this can be done by modifying your site template and this modification will automatically force IE9 of all your visitors into IE8 mode. To do this you need to edit the following file: ‘templates/{your template name}/index.php’ and add the following special tag into your Joomla template, just after the opening ‘head’ tag as shown in the image below.
