The User tours plugin allows administrators to create user tours of Moodle, which are visual and positional step by step guides.

Tours can be created for a wide range of purposes: to guide new users around the interface, to introduce new features, highlight important information, and more.

It is also enabled to cater for multilingual content if required using the multi-lang filters.

    Hi,
    I have 2 quick question.
    If we upgrade the moodle version to 3.2 and the plugin is installed in the previóus moode, is the tours converted to the core tours?.
    If we uninstall the localplugin, will it delete the content in the database - the tables seems to have the same names.?

    I'm using this plug in on Moodle 3.1.6 and cannot get the tour to work on the front page. Any suggestions or anyone had the same problem? I've made it the first User Tour of my list of tours, and for my URL Applies to I've tried using "FRONTPAGE" "frontpage" "Front Page" "/index.php" and "/course/view.php?id=1" and none of these will activate the tour. The only thing in the tour a 'Display in the middle of the page' Welcome message. Any thoughts?

    Is there any way to customize the "reset user tour on this page" link? I'll explain my idea: I want to create a button on the page that allows user to start the user tour. I've tried using the same link that appears on the bottom of the page, but it doesn't work; it reloads the page, but the user tour doesn't start.

    vg:
    Moodle: 3.1
    Language: español.

    Would it be possible to allow hiding/disabling steps within a user tour? Right now you can only delete steps within tours.

    Hi,
    I'd like to fix a tour in a way users can't skip it, is it possible?
    Users should see all the tour before working on moodle.
    Thank you in advance.

    Mark/Carmen - User Tours aren’t already part of the upgrade? I thought they became part of core

    Oh yes! My bad sorry! I read in the thread about it moving to core but I didn’t see any instructions, now I’ve googled it, it all becomes clear! Sorry! Thanks!

    Hi,

    I would like to provide user tours for each type of activity settings page, (e.g. quiz settings page ; assignment settings page, and so on...). Is there anyway I could limit tours to such specific settings pages ?

    I was able to create a few guided steps for the quiz activity, however, the same steps will automatically show up for other activities and once the tour has been played for one activity type, it won't show up automatically when adding another type of activity (lest clicking the link to relaunch the tour).

    I have tried adding a specific URL for tours to show up only according to activity type, (i.e. one specific tour for quiz settings ; another one for assignment settings...) but it won't work. I have tried with this URL :

    /course/modedit.php?add=quiz&type=&course=%&section=%&return=0&sr=0

    (derived from the original URL : https://epione-simusante.fr/ecampus/course/modedit.php?add=quiz&type=&course=1499&section=1&return=0&sr=0)

    Any idea whether this might be feasible and how ?

    Thanks for helping,
    Best,

    Yannick

    Hi There

    I would like to know if there is a tour plugin that allows two different user tours to appear? For example, one for a student and then one for a manager.

    Thank you
