Hi!

We used to only use the Webinar course type, but recently switched to ILT. In the webinar course type, when a learner was waitlisted, their thumbnail said “Waiting User”. Maybe we changed something in the localization tool to make that happen, I can’t remember.

However, now that we are in ILT, all of those users just show “STARTED” on their thumbnail. Users that are enrolled show STARTED too. We have an article explaining that if they see this, they are on the waitlist, but if they see the bottom one they are ENROLLED in the session, but I hoping there is a better way! Please tell me someone out here has a better way for learners to tell they are on the waitlist.

Waitlisted for Session

Enrolled in Session

The course tile should show the waiting status, although we have changed ours through the “Waiting List” key in localization to say “Waiting List/Pending Payment” as this fits how we use the system.

This may help a lot of people:

In the course page itself we’re lucky that there’s a CSS class (course-waiting-list) applied to the course header when you’re in a waitlisted status. Here’s the code I’ve added to our site and how it looks:

.course-waiting-list:before {
  content:'You are on the waitlist for this course'; 
  visibility: visible;
  display: block;
  background-color: red;
  color: white;
  font-size: 18px;
  padding: 5px;
  text-align: center;
  top: 2px;
  bottom: 2px;
}

I’ll ask here considering the relevance of adding a top bar into the costum CSS:

I also want to add a top bar underneath the title/.mynavbar of e-learning courses (when the user has opened the course and has it in full screen).
I tried to use almost the same code as in elamast’s answer, but it didn’t appear.
Underneath is the code i used.

Why does it not appear? Anyone who knows how to solve it?
Under the code, there’s an image of where I’d like the top bar to be.

.mynavbar:after {

content:'Some random text';

visibility: visible;

display: flex;

position: absolute;

background-color: turquoise;

color: white;

font-size: 18px;

height: 2em;

padding: 5px;

text-align: center;

top: 2px;

bottom: 2px;

}

My course player looks like this:

I’d like to reproduce what you have so I can advise you better. How was the .mynavbar bar added in?

@elamast The .mynavbar bar appears when I continue an e-learning course. So instead of .dcb-course-lesson-header which usually appears when opening the e-learning course where you’re able to see image, title and subtitle, I sometimes only see the .mynavbar. It happens a bit at random so far. Can’t find a specific reason why it happens so far. So I have managed to make a bar connected to the class .dcb-course-lesson-header, which shows, but not for the .mynavbar. Underneath is how topbar/header looks on both the class names.
