A single-tutor Learning Management System with course management, hybrid learning (live + recorded), resume playback, Sri Lankan payment gateways, device limit, and watermarked videos.

Features

  • Student registration & login (with optional 2FA + forgot password)
  • Single tutor — manages everything from WP admin (no teacher onboarding/approval)
  • Course → Module → Lesson hierarchy
  • Lesson types: Video (MP4/streaming), PDF, External Link, Live Session (Zoom/Meet)
  • Resume playback — videos remember where the student left off; auto-marks complete at 90% watched
  • Multiple Sri Lankan payment gateways: PayHere, WebXPay, plus Bank Slip upload
  • Manual enrollment — tutor can enroll a student directly by email
  • Device limit (default 2 per student)
  • Watermark overlay — student email + phone, drifts across corners to prevent simple cover-ups
  • Smart discovery: filter by Year / Subject / Topic, keyword search with autosuggest
  • Analytics: active users (30d), course completion rates, revenue by month, recent payments
  • Broadcast notifications — email all enrolled students of a course (course updates, live class reminders)

Installation

  1. Upload to /wp-content/plugins/ and activate
  2. Go to LMS → Settings and configure:
    • Currency, device limit, video save interval
    • PayHere merchant ID & secret (start in sandbox)
    • WebXPay public key & endpoint (after you sign up)
    • Bank account details for the Bank Slip option
    • Watermark text (default: {email} {phone} — placeholders also support {name}, {id})
  3. Create six pages, each containing one shortcode:
    • [blms_login] — login + 2FA + forgot password
    • [blms_register] — student signup
    • [blms_student_dashboard] — student dashboard (courses, notifications, devices)
    • [blms_courses] — public course catalog with filters
    • [blms_course] — course detail (uses ?slug=course-slug)
    • [blms_lesson] — lesson player with resume (uses ?slug=course-slug&lesson=ID)
  4. In LMS → Settings → Pages, assign each page to its slot

Tutor Workflow

The tutor is the WordPress administrator. They use:

  • LMS → Courses — create/edit/delete courses, manage modules and lessons, schedule live sessions
  • LMS → Enrollments — view all enrollments, manually enroll a student by email
  • LMS → Payments — review bank slip uploads, approve/reject them
  • LMS → Analytics — active users, course completion rates, revenue by month
  • Edit Course → Broadcast Notification — email all enrolled students with course updates or live class reminders

Payment Notes

PayHere: works out of the box. Use sandbox during testing. Notify URL is /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=blms_payhere_notify — set this in your PayHere dashboard if asked.

WebXPay: WebXPay's checkout uses RSA-encrypted payment payloads. This plugin ships with a working scaffold. After signup, paste your public key in settings. You may need to adjust the request fields and the webxpay_notify() handler in class-blms-payments.php to match WebXPay's exact response format.

Bank Slip: students upload a transfer receipt; appears in LMS → Payments for admin review. Approving auto-enrolls them.

Manual enrollment: in LMS → Enrollments, enter the student's email and pick a course. No payment is collected, but a payment record is created with gateway=manual for audit purposes.

Resume Playback

When a student watches a video:

  • The plugin saves position every N seconds (configurable in Settings → Video Position Save Interval)
  • Position is also saved when the video is paused or the page is closed
  • On reload, playback resumes from the saved position
  • When watched ≥90% of the duration, the lesson is auto-marked complete

Limitations & Known Roughness

This is a fast-built scaffold covering the full spec. Production hardening still needed:

  • Watermark is client-side CSS overlay. A determined user can remove it with browser dev tools or by screen-recording. Server-side per-student video transcoding (FFmpeg) is the only piracy-proof option but adds infra cost.
  • Device limit uses a long-lived cookie + UA hash. Clearing cookies bypasses it. FingerprintJS would be stronger.
  • Live sessions are link-based — paste Zoom/Meet URL manually. No OAuth integration.
  • No video hosting included — paste MP4/HLS URLs from your own host (S3, Bunny, Cloudflare Stream).
  • No refunds workflow — handle manually via the payments admin.
  • No CSV bulk import.
