Can I remove the calendar view that displays on the right side of the Enrolled Learning Modules tab?

By default, EKP displays a calendar view on the right side of the Enrolled Learning Modules tab.

This calendar view can be hidden for a specific skin by adding a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) rule to the main style sheet for the skin. The rule is as shown below.

.enrolled-learning-modules-calendar {
   display: none;
}

For an explanation of how to locate the file to which this rule should be added, see this previous post.

Please note that this requires one of the following builds: EKP 4.5 build 190 or higher; EKP 4.6 build 61 or higher; or any EKP 4.7 build. The CSS rule will have no effect on earlier builds.

The Other Resources tab

In addition to the News, Enrolled Learning Modules, Pending Enrollments and Records/Transcript tabs, EKP 4.6 provides an option to include a tab labeled Other Resources on learners' Home Pages.

However, until now this tab was pretty much reserved for Books24x7.

As of EKP 4.6 build 102, it's possible to target any enrollable learning module (but not programs) to the Other Resources tab instead of the Enrolled Learning Modules tab. This is done on the Define Module Properties page of the Catalog Editor—simply check the check box labeled Show on Other Resources tab instead of Enrolled Learning Modules tab (tabbed interface only), then click the Save button in the top frame.

This would typically be appropriate for modules that function as reference resources, rather than as activities or tasks that the learner would be expected to complete.

Can I hide the headlines that appear on the News tab?

By default, EKP displays summary headlines above the full text of the news articles on the News tab of the Home Page.

These can be disabled for individual skins by adding a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) rule to the main style sheet for the skin. The rule is as shown below.

.headlines {display: none;}

This rule should be added to the file named main.css inside the skin directory. For example, for the EKP46-Tab skin, the rule would be added to the file named main.css inside the ekp/nd/fresco/styles/EKP46-Tab/ directory.
