Using the Custom Learning Site
The Custom Learning team have identified a glitch that was causing the problem I was experiencing. They're going to resolve it in future releases but in the meantime, they've posted a work around on the Git Hub site - https://github.com/pnp/custom-learning-office-365/issues/26#issuecomment-481845145
The steps to resolve this are:
- Select a Technology for your custom playlist, even though it doesn't necessarily have one.
- After adding the playlist to the custom sub category, refresh the administration page which will reset the cache.
Your sub category and playlist will now show up.
Thanks juliemturner and Peter Krebs for your help :-)
philmaynard_wap- Yes. Just installed yesterday,. Have a bit of trouble adding custom content. Seems that after adding custom playlist or asset, I either don't get any playlists to display or the custom playlist doesn't play. Have you experienced this? Any recommendations? Thanks.
Later update: Created trial tenant. Installed custom learning solution. Works better. Key thing: Must get out of site as person changing the web part data, for it to take affect for others.
RobSchmidt interesting. This sounds exactly like to difficulty I'm having. I've set up a custom playlist but it doesn't appear on the main page.
UPDATE: None of the playlists are now showing for either me or other logged in users :-( I can see the main category list but when I go into any of the categories, no play lists are showing. I may have a go at running the update script as it's been a couple of weeks since I first installed the site.
UPDATE 2: The playlists are showing again - not sure if this was related to running the https://github.com/pnp/custom-learning-office-365/blob/master/webpart/CustomLearningConfiguration.ps1 script or not! Still not showing custom playlists or categories. Any suggestions welcome...
UPDATE 3: Re-deployed the site into a different site collection on the same test Tenant. This is allowing me to create custom playlists as long as they're under existing categories. If I try to use a new category, no playlist is displayed...
UPDATE 4: On a fresh page, I added the Custom Learning for Office web part and filtered to to my new category. Initially this didn't show the playlists under it but after a bit of time, the playlists appeared. However, the custom sub-category still doesn't show in the parent category so if I use the breadcrumb to navigate up, I can't get back down. (maybe I just need to wait a bit longer...)
