Hi everyone,

I have been at this one issue for hours now and need some help.

I have created a widget on the homepage of our LMS that essentially when “clicked” takes a user to a list of courses that I have selected that will enable the user to pick and choose through those selected courses to either develop personally or professionally. 

When I test the widget, it goes to a list of ALL courses on the platform and not the ones I selected and placed in the category of Development.

What am I doing wrong?? 

Many Thanks!

@ssartain Hello … a bit more information would be helpful.

  1. What type of widget?
  2. Where did you create the category?
  3. Did you use any type of URL in the widget?

My apologies, I am a newbie! 

I chose a custom content widget.

I created the category by going in the admin menu, selecting “course management”, clicking on the + in the upper right corner, then selecting “new Category”.

The URL is where I believe I may be encountering the issue, I go into my categories, select the one I created and added the new courses into, open it up and copy that URL, take it back into my widget, edit and paste. 


You will want to make sure your users have access to the same courses as you...then when you initiate your search (assuming your locating your courses that way), you can copy the URL from the completed search and try that in your content box URL. You can use a relative link if your users happen to be in different domains but still have access to the courses.

Should look like this:

/learn/catalog?ctldoc-catalog-0=category_id-3

See if that works for you...

That worked!! 🎉

What if I need multiple courses listed? 

This worked because I only have one course added.

As long as all the courses you want them to see are in the same category, it should be dynamic (updated with all courses that are setup with the same category)

category_id-3

The “3” is the category number assigned by Docebo


@lrnlab THANK YOU!!!!
