In today’s livestream, I’ll be diving into OSCampus for Joomla — a learning management extension that makes it possible to create and deliver online courses right inside your Joomla site. I don’t have a course prepared in advance, so this session will be all about investigating the options, experimenting with the tools, and seeing what it takes to set up a course from scratch. We’ll explore together:

• How to create courses, classes, and lessons
• Adding different media types (video, text, slides, etc.)
• Setting up quizzes, timers, and certificates
• Organizing lessons with tags, pathways, and navigation
• What the frontend experience looks like for students
• Some of the surprises, questions, and challenges along the way

If you’re curious about whether OSCampus is right for your Joomla projects, come join me live (or catch the replay) and let’s see how it all works in real time.

Learn how to set up a simple, reliable payment flow in Joomla using Smile Pack and Convert Forms—perfect for donations, invoices, rentals, and quick product payments. In this live demo, Marc Dechèvre builds a PayPal module with custom styling, then shows how to pass form data from Convert Forms to Smile Pack via URL parameters for dynamic amounts and details.
We also cover safe testing, geolocation-aware payment options (e.g., Bancontact in Belgium, iDEAL in the Netherlands), and practical deployment tips. What you’ll learn Configure Smile Pack for PayPal, credit cards, and regional methods (Bancontact, iDEAL), including currency, tax, and shipping. Style a PayPal button/module and embed it in a Joomla article to trigger plugins and keep things portable.
