If you want to highlight multiple (duplicate) CSS elements on page without having a popover for each (most likely overlapping), you can add in this CSS.
I noticed that when you select an element by CSS and more than one element matches, although a popover is rendered for each, only the first has an ID assigned (ie. id="step-6"). All other matching elements thereafter are exactly the same in all ways, except there is no id assign.
So:
/** Set opacity to 0 (transparent) for all popover elements that don't have a valid id. display: none; breaks positioning so using opacity. **/
.popover[class*="tour-"]:not([id^='step-']) {
opacity: 0;
}
/** Bring the first (showing) popover to the front so that user can use navigation **/
.popover[class*="tour-"][id*="step-"] {
z-index: 10000;
}
There is probably a better way, but thought I'd share in case anyone else trying to achieve the same thing.
I wonder if there's a possibility to embed videos in the tours? Thank you!
You could try and login as admin to here: https://demo.moodle.net/admin/tool/usertours/configure.php and give it a try.
I may have missed this, but is there a way to preview a tour if you don't have a test server to run it on?
Trying to reach the user tours repository at - https://moodle.net/mod/data/view.php?id=17
but nothing there.
Maybe you could refer me to the right location?
Thank you for Amazing tool
I'm struggling using the tours with my theme and getting some Plug-ins working well with the tours. The problem is that multiple elements on the screen have the same classes and it's very difficult to pick out just one thing on the page.
A solution to this would be to use advanced css techniques, but the tours plugin doesn't seem to have the capability built in at present.
Using the below css selectors, for example would allow me to pick out a single element from the screen, currently I cannot:
nth-of-type()
nth-child()
I notice that using ID's does not work well with css. It would also be great to simply add the #id rather than having a need to use css.
I hope improvements can be made to allow for this.
The error occorred during the tables installation step, almost at the end, in plugin "tool_usertours" (just after the "tool_uploaduser\nSuccess").
I got the error: Debug info: Column 'enabled' cannot be null
INSERT INTO md_tool_usertours_tours (name,description,pathmatch,enabled,sortorder,configdata) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?)
[array (
0 => '',
1 => '',
2 => NULL,
3 => NULL,
4 => 0,
5 => 'null',
)]

To circunvemt the error I change 2 Tours' files:
./admin/tool/usertours/classes/manager.php: inside the function 'import_tour_from_json'
After '$tour->persist(true);', I inserted a test
'if ($steps == null) return $tour; '
./admin/tool/usertours/classes/tour.php: inside the function 'persist'
I provided an artificial entry to avoid problem, of insertion with null fields, I put something like this:
'if ($record->name == null && $record->enabled == null) { $record->name = "nothing"; $record->description = "2017/02/20"; $record->enabled = 1; $record->configdata = "2017/02/20"$
I am using PHP Version 5.6.30-0+deb8u1 on Debian-Linux.
Is this a real problem of this Moodle version?

Any Ideas?
Moodle 3.2.1+
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
PostgreSQL 9
PHP 7
Many thanks!
This is now part of the core Moodle 3.2
Gavin.
And how can use user capabilities and user roles for tour (special tour for student or teacher)?
