BuddyBoss App Learndash Integration

The BuddyBoss App Learndash Integration allows you to deliver LearnDash courses through a mobile-optimized learning experience. You can configure offline course access, display course information, add LearnDash screens to your app navigation, and optimize course materials and videos for mobile learners.

The integration also supports native course navigation, downloaded course content, certificates, deep linking, and the App Editor for handling content that requires an app-specific layout.

Enabling LearnDash Integration

1. Go to BuddyBoss App > Integrations > LearnDash
2. Toggle on Enable Offline Courses to allow learners to download course content and sync progress when back online.
3. Toggle on Display Course Author to show the creator’s name in course listings.
4. Toggle on Display Course Date to show the published date.
   Click Save Changes.

Note: Offline mode downloads course home, materials, certificate, sections, lessons, topics, and user progress. Quizzes require an internet connection.

Adding Course Menus to Your App

1. Go to BuddyBoss App > Menus > Tab Bar (or More Menu)
2. In Core App, find and Add to Menu:
   
   • Courses (all courses directory)
   • Course Categories (courses by category)
   • Course Certificates (earned certificates)
   • My Library (enrolled & downloaded courses)
     
3. Create a section (e.g., LearnDash) and organize your new menu items under it.
   
4. Customize icon styles if desired.
   Click Save Menu.
   

Course Material Content Layout

In the app, you can simply add your materials as a paragraph and they’ll render as plain text. But to display a native, mobile-friendly look and feel, format your materials as a bulleted list instead.

To do this

1. Go In the Course Editor.
2. Navigate to Course Materials
3. Switch to Text mode and structure your content like this:
   
   <ul>

  <li>Drawing Tools PDF</li>

  <li>Reference Images Pack</li>

  <li>Practice Workbook</li>

• </ul>

Note: Any materials outside a list display as plain text.

Hosting Videos for Offline Use

• WordPress Video Block: Upload .mp4 to the Media Library via the Video block.
  
• External CDN: Enable API Performance in BuddyBoss App > Components, then configure BuddyBoss App > Settings > API / CDN with your CDN URL.
  
• Vimeo Integration: Go to BuddyBoss App > Integrations > Vimeo, paste your authentication code, and use the Vimeo block for offline-compatible embeds.
  

Note: Avoid iframe-based or web-only embeds; unsupported blocks require web fallback.

Handling Unsupported Blocks

When a lesson contains unsupported blocks, content loads in a web view. To override:

1. Enable the App Editor in that lesson.
2. Click Import Content to pull supported blocks only.
3. Manually add any additional supported blocks in the App Editor.
4. Click Update to use native rendering.
